Fun with the harris's

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.

HOT DOG TIME!
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!

September in Video

In the first video Isaac is becoming a master craftsman! He is better at hammering than me (not hard to do:) The next two are of Anna, the one with her walking was at the beginning of the month she can walk much quicker now. Her dress is tucked in on purpose so she could climb the equipment better. The bottom one is anna learning to eat with a spoon.

More September in Video

Anna is such a cliber, here she climbed on the coffee table and decided to give it some raspberries?!?!? The next one is of her saying bye bye and practicing her eating skills. the last one is Isaac taking his turn getting videoed He wanted to sing for everyone.

Splash pad Fun

One of our friends got Isaac this awesome splash pad for his b-day! Of course they both LOVE it:)

Just Playing

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.

Happy Birthday Isaac! 4 years old

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 our climber and walker

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:)

Isaac's First Day of School!

First Day of Preschool!!! (Like our Awesome chili pepper plant:)


Isaac is going 3 1/2 days a week to a wonderful teacher's house. Here he is the first day walking up to the front door. Notice he is WAY in front of us and has no fear, only excitement!
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!

So Sweet!

Cousins, they totally started holding hands all on their own!

Happy Happy Birthday

Birthday party for Isaac and Anna in Iowa! You can tell Isaac knows what to do with the hat...Anna thinks it tastes good:)

Not quite sure about this.
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:)

Cousins, Brothers, Daddy's, Uncles

Cousins!!!

Anna and Mark! They are so cute!

Our attempts to get all the cousins in one shot. As you notice our kiddos are moving at all times and John and Mark are just posing...

So Sweet
