Picking Pumpkins 2014

We went to Kohler Farms for our annual tradition to pick out pumpkins.  Colton fed the animals (sheep & pigs), had fun with all the signs, and Cora got her first picture with Mr. Pumpkinhead.

Stone Harbor 2014

We hit our favorite beach again this September and had a fun filled family vacation. Although as parents of two under the age of 5, we may revise that to say a fun filled family getaway from home. It is pretty exhausting going away with two little ones, but it was a lot of fun. We had a house right on the beach and the weather was pretty good. Colton enjoyed every second of it - playing in the sand, swimming, and playing with all his cousins. We had our family meals together, went on walks, went swimming, took bike rides, made sandcastles, tore down sandcastles, and went to the point on the windiest day of the week. Our skin was pristine after that sandblast of a walk.  We may have to alter this family vacation time now that more of the kiddos will be in school, but we still plan to keep the band together for as long as we can.

Jen's Getting Married

Jen Shipe (middle) is getting married on 10/10 in Seattle. She and Kristen (on the right) are my sorority sisters and we celebrated her shower in Lancaster a few weekends ago.  Jen Shipe deserves the best and she has found a truly awesome guy. Love that girl and how much she makes me laugh. Congrats!

Circus at the Arboretum

We have gone to the circus event before at the arboretum and it didn't disappoint. Cora's Godparents and Keira joined us. Keira is raising her hand to get picked to be a volunteer during a trick. We were the annoying people pointing to Keira and she did get picked. The kids ran around and had fun and so did we.
