Weekend Travels

We left on Friday for a trip ~ we visited Uncle Bill, Aunt Laura, and Connor!  Chloe has been so excited to see them.  I think Connor was excited to see us:



April was excited to see the fish:


And Chloe was excited to ride in the Little Coupe Car:

Daddy found a tree to climb :)  This tree has lost almost all it's leaves & Uncle Bill had been making a big pile around the trunk.



We played in the leaves before dinner.  The little slide was moved so the kids would land in the pile.....April thought it was fun.....


Chloe did too....


Connor hated it. 


But then he came around :)



After dinner we went to a local playground and had a blast. All three kids fit on this slide!

Bedtime was a breeze that night -- all that fresh air wore everyone out!!



The next morning, we met up with Monnor, Pap, Aunt Michelle, and Uncle Tom at a local pumpkin patch.  There was a petting zoo, a hay ride, a few games, and of course, pumpkins!  



There were a bunch of baby goats (6 weeks old) that were Chloe's favorite.  April seemed to just love all the goats....and they seemed to love her :)



We headed down the little path to the pumpkin patch....Aunt Michelle thought about joining Connor in the wagon :)


then, she took a great picture of the four of us! Thanks Chelle! :)


Later that night (after naps and pizza dinner) we went to a local campground that offered trick-or-treating.  We had to get a picture of the cousins in their costumes ~ Chloe is a bumblebee, April is a lion, and Connor is Thomas the Train:



I think at this age, Chloe is easily frightened or doesn't get it at all.  She saw this at the entrance and started saying "little Miss Muffit...." haha. 


All the kids did a great job - but really, I think Aunt Laura, Aunt Michelle, and Uncle Tom did a lot of the work....I just pushed an empty stroller! :)


What a fun filled trip! We went to church on Sunday and then headed out to Mimi and Poppops since they are close by.  We stayed overnight and relaxed with them on Monday morning.  Mimi made an excellent lunch for us and then we headed home!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
