Fall Festival

One of my favorite times of the year...the fall festival! It started out cool and cloudy which was okay because it wasn't so busy and crazy at the festival...however, it turned out to be an absolutely GORGEOUS fall day! I love this time of year!! The kids and I had a great time at the park this afternoon....and tonight we are settling in to watch college football, the twins game, and the "Big Time Rush" season premiere!

It took Austin a couple times watching his sister and cousin before he wanted a turn...then it was his favorite part!

We enjoyed a lot of games, rides, and crafts!

Both my children have a weird obsession about lining things up and putting things in groups.....some might say they get that from their mom!!

These are Austin's baseball cards lined all the way up the steps and into the living room!

BRRRRR!

Cold night of baseball at the Redhawks championship game! It was fun to see them win! Lots of blankets, hats, and cappuchino to keep us warm! Mother of the year didn't bring coats....good thing the kids are like me and don't get cold very easily! Mini doughnuts sound disgusting on a hot summer day....they tasted pretty good last night!

First Day of School!

Austin started Preschool on thursday...he got a little sad when Gma Penny dropped him off. Aunt Heidi picked him up and the teacher said he had a good day! The only thing I got out of him was he had a fruit cup and water!!
Katelynn started Kindergarten and LOVES it! I hear a lot more details about her days than Austin! One of her good friends from Cobber kids is in her class and a couple others that she knows! I have a to say I shed a few tears as she got her backpack on (I am sure you all are surprised!)

Trying to get a 3 year picture......

......very last picture...got one!!

(I had gotten a good one before this and brought it in and put it on the computer and it was blurry!! So, I had to redress Austin and go try and get one more....with a promise of treats....I am glad we did one more!)

A few more weeks of summer....

This is where I take my naps sometimes!!
We got caps from Terry Horan!! We got our pictures taken for the football program and got to eat lunch with the Cobber football team!

We are excited for the football games to start!!

Girls Shopping Trip!

We moved our shopping trip to the cities up a month because Rachel's weekends are limited now AND Katelynn needed school clothes! Gma Cella, Mom, Rachel, Katelynn and I had a great weekend of shopping, Cheesecake Factory, swimming, and the best pizza....Gina Maria's!!

Katelynn had a fashion show with all her new outfits!!



Sleep Over!!

Tyden got to have a sleep over Friday night! They were all really good and we had lots of fun! For supper we made our own mini pizzas! Tyden put black olives on his!!

Tyden and Katelynn made it all night in the "fort"! Austin was back in his room within the first hour!

Blankets, cartoons, and doughnuts and Sunmart!!
