It did not take long for this Hawkeye cheerleader to figure out what to do!!! She walked up to the door and put her candy in her bucket:) LOVE the belly!!
TIRED BABY!!! this is her reaction when mommy went in to the house for a minute.
Happy Family!
Isaac in his batman PJ's he chose to wear at the last minute:)
Thanks Grandma Netty and Aunt Bonnie for trick or treating with me and thanks Grandma Deb for the Halloween costumes!
Anna wearing part of what was supposed to be Isaac's costume this year. It was actually daddy's when he was Isaac's age. Isaac decided last minute to be batman, but we still got some good pics of daddy's costume:)
The little boy I watch had a birthday party while Grandma Netty was here. Here is everyone playing!!
Camden finally asserting himself and taking his new toy back!
Above: Grandma Netty got Isaac his very own piggy bank, so here he is super excitedly transferring all his money from his tootsie roll bank to a real piggy bank!
Anna was actually more brave than Isaac in the 'let's touch and feel sea animals' section. But everyone did it!
A couple of weekends ago we went up to Winslow for Fall break to spend some time with our good friends. Above is Anna FINALLY being able to sit facing forward in the car!!! We've been waiting for her to hit 20 pounds and she finally did:)
It is a 3 hour trip, both kiddos conked out:)
One day we all drove to a stream near some camping sites and played in the stream, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and collected fall items. Above is Anna and Sam LOVING the water.
Kids enjoying their hard earned cooked hotdogs.
Me, anna and Jack
Mommy and Daddy and Anna...Isaac is running around somewhere:)
The big kids! Natalie, Jack and Isaac.
Our new invention: Smores with Chocoloate chips!!! They were AMAZING. We opened up a warm marshmallow dropped a few chips in and everything was perfectly melted and yummy!
When we got home the kids made centerpieces with all their Fall treasures.
What fun!
One of our friends got Isaac this awesome splash pad for his b-day! Of course they both LOVE it:)
Here's some pics of Isaac and Anna just hanging out. Anna liked wearing the birthday hat:)
Isaac's fort! He loved it.
For some reason whenever Isaac is crafting marker or paint always ends up on his face or forehead:) I think that is a sign of a true artist.
This year we had Isaac's b-day party at McDonalds! We had a blast. It took many times for him to blow out is candles this year, apparently four is way harder than three or two:)
My attempt to get all the kiddos in one shot...This was the only one Isaac was looking:)
Anna on the play land!
Anna is a major CLIMBER! She climbs anything, she can even get onto the couch all by herself now, and luckily knows how to turn around and get herself down safely too! She has 6 teeth now and is still not quite 20 pounds (we are waiting impatiently for that milestone, because then we can face her forward in the car, she gets pretty carsick at times). She ADORES her daddy and her face lights up any time he enters the room. She is a smart little one that is for sure.
Here is a video of her first steps, she is walking better than this now, but still crawls often. Every day she chooses to walk a little more, I know it is just a matter of time before she is off and running:)
First Day of Preschool!!! (Like our Awesome chili pepper plant:)
He's been going to school for 3 weeks now and LOVES it. Every day starting around 8AM he is asking if it is time to go to school yet like EVERY minute! I finally had to teach him how to 'read' the clock and not to ask me until the big hand is on the 9!
Birthday party for Isaac and Anna in Iowa! You can tell Isaac knows what to do with the hat...Anna thinks it tastes good:)
YES!!! A SCOOTER!!!! He was thrilled and has had so much fun scootering around:)
Anna's favorite present! She LOVES to play it. She also loves any type of music. I think we may have a musician on our hands. It does run in the family:)
