thank you blair!

look who came to my rescue this weekend when jeff went hunting????

blairino!!! we were soooo excited!!

got the kids dressed in real clothes,

we went to jason's deli,

played outside,

hung out with brycie,

went to the mall, got new clothes and visited blaine,

and took cheesy pics of ourselves. pretty much the perfect weekend. we also stayed up late looking at everyone's blogs and talked til 3. al was hanging out with linds so we checked up on them via the internet, watched tv; it was just so so great. maybe jeff should go hunting more often...

backyardigans

ready,

set, fly!

maybe a little too high...

totally changes her mind mid-air, she loves it.

so proud of her little self.

and ben was loving the chalk and the soccer ball...

for a while, anyway.

hope your weekend doesn't include any faces like this.

step by step

we are so excited!! i knew that sassarina would be the one to walk first (despite her tiny feet and big head and/or belly) because she is the one who wanted it the most!! she walks no matter what, even if crawling is faster, and ben will crawl and beat her there. love her sweet, little, persistent heart!!

but don't worry guys, ben was right behind her!! he is more about efficiency, so he def still

crawls some. he is such a fantastic walker, though and we are so proud of him and

can't wait to see where his sweet little legs take him!

decisions, decisions...

annual pumpkin patch pictures

Last year we took all the kids to the pumpkin patch for pictures. It was hilarious! A lady came up to me and Kristen last year and said, "you guys are either crazy or just real enthusiastic!" Well call us crazy if you want but we took the kids to the pumpkin patch again this year and it was just as hilarious! Here are some pics from last year and this year.
