I spy with my little eye... a cow!

Fall time is here again. We had a busy, crazy, and fun summer. Now we are still busy, and crazy the only thing that has changed is the weather. The kids are in school, doing well, and having fun. Every year with the pre-school we go to Swore Farms to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. There we pick out our pumpkins for Halloween. We love Halloween around here so decorating pumpkins is one of our favorite activities... More of that later- anyways here are some pics from the farm...

Isn't she cute! My little heffer!!!!

And another one...

And finally, another cute little cow- there were a lot there, I only captured the cutest ones!

Siera and her monster

What do you think about the ears? A perfect match right?

It's uncanny the likeness between these monsters!

Savana the budding artist

 Even Mom and Dad got to have their own pumpkins!!!

Family Photos

So this is our family. I finally convinced Josh that it was time again for family photos- so we got my friend Noelle to take pics of our family. We had such a fun time- so THANK YOU!! I hope you like them...

Gopher Holes

I looked out the window and what did I see, the cutest little gophers staring at me.

So i took out my camera and snapped a few pictures of them, wouldn't you?

Andrew Thuernagle
Siera Rayne
and THE cutest gopher in the whole entire world!!

"Hey Buddy"

Josh and I have been working on a big project outside... a fence! Timothy has been more than helpful but one day he found a ladybug on a fencepost. He kept saying "Hey buddy" and letting it crawl all over him. It was the cutest thing. Finally the bug flew away and all Timbo could do was say "Hey Buddy where you going?"

What a cutie- and at least he isn't afraid of bugs!!!!!

Fun at the Fair

We love this time of year. The leaves are starting to turn, the weather is getting a little cooler and the State Fair comes to Town. This year I submitted a photo of Elyssa into the photography show- no ribbons but definetely a cool experience. Now I know what to do different for next year. Anyways, as tradition we all go to the fair on Labor Day- probably one of the most crowded days, but still tradition. So Josh and I and the kids, along with Emily, Elyssa and Randy we braved the fair. It was cool outside, which was a nice relief, and we just had so much fun. It was so fun to watch the kids see all the animals- that's our favorite part. Timbo was HILARIOUS with the goats. Nanny of course loved the horses, and Siera was excited about the bunnies. Tommy was just glad to be there and touch everything. If you ask the kiddos, the best part was the cotton candy and Tiger ears- sugar of course! WE all had a great time- Elyssa and Randy even won the Lottery (they got each other!!!)

Lottery winners and farmers kids

The Happy Older couple (Since Gary and Dayle didn't come Josh and I got designated as the oldest couple there)

Enjoying the fruits of the Fair..... mmmm sugar!

Timbo was sharing EVERYTHING and Tommy ate an entire Tiger ear by himself

Such ladies!!

Checking out the animals...

Super Pooper Troopers (thats what the activity was... How redneck are we?)

Tommy and Savana milking a cow-- awesome right?

Can't leave out the baby...

Being the youngest and the only one home (at least for a few hours each week) poor Timothy was feeling left out... of the pictures. So today we had some fun with the camera and of course some gummi bears. They are his favorite!!!

SCHOOL!!

Ok, the time has FINALLY come... School is here at last!!!!!!!! I'm not excited or anything. Tomas is starting 2nd grade this year and is really excited to be in the same class with a lot of his friends. His teacher is Mrs. Page- and she is awesome. This year should be great- he is responsible for making sure his sister gets to and from school, so we'll see how that goes, so far so good. I can't believe how big he is!!

My little Savana, and I do mean little, tinsy, my baby girl going to 1st grade. I think it should be illegal for her to grow up so fast. Nevertheless, she has graduated from kindergarten and should rightfully move up to the next level... She LOVES recess- so much that she has decided that eating lunch gets in the way of her playing. She'll learn--- hopefully. She has a new teacher this year, HIS name is Mr. Muckerman and she thinks he's cool! Oops, I promised I wouldn't tell! He has a frog, which to a kid is the most awesome thing EVER!!

If Savana is growing up way too fast then Siera is right on her heels... She is starting her second year of pre-school... Today was her first day. She has been waiting, and waiting, and waiting to go. She loves to play with the other kids, and Mrs. Jen- YOU ROCK!!

Timothy is bummed because all the other kids are at school and I am dull and boring... He'll get his chance to leave next year, but for the time being I will enjoy my baby while he is still a baby!!

Happy School Year to everyone!
