We have had two birthdays and lots of fun already so I just wanted to post! i am so glad we got over the Swine Flu and all my kids are healthy - for now!! I hope it will last through the winter! For now, we are just enjoying the best fall weather we have had -- it is chilly at night and in the morning and then we have had beautiful bright days!
First - these pictures were taken when i went with Kimball on the field trip to the Butterfly Garden! It was really cool and I got some pretty cool shots!




(I love this one because the flowers are so beautiful and then if you look closely there is a cute little white catapillar on one of the leaves! Kimball spotted it and we snapped the picture!)


(We had to complete a little task of finding all the things at the Garden and one of the tasks was to find an animal using a part of nature for a home or survival --- this squirrel came out of no where, and then posed for us!! We were one of only 3 groups in the whole school that were able to catch an animal for a photograph!! Go us!)

Kimball and his cute pals! Turns out these two boys are my friend Amy's kids -- me and Amy went to school together growing up and now our boys are in the same class at school! Small world!

BiRthDays!!!

Grandpa and Grandma brought over 2 balloons for Tori's birthday!!

Tori and her beautiful party dress!

I love how nuturing and motherly Abby is! I am taking pictures and Daddy and Abby are helping her blow out her candles!!

She got a new baby doll -- WITH a PACIFIER and A HAT!!!! Tori was so excited!

Whitney's birthday is 3 days after Tori's so we sang happy birthday to her too! My brother John is swinging her arms during the Birthday song!!! I just love my little Whitty Sue!!

The 2 B-DAY girls! I know one day they won't want to share birthday parties but for now - it is wonderful!!

another b-day gift! I just love that i can give her a new sweater for her birthday and she likes it all the same! She has no idea that I only got her a baby doll, a new dress and a new sweater for her birthday! She had so much fun just having all the cousins and family singing happy birthday and playing with her! (And here is a shout out to Target -- they have some pretty cute clothes out -- the dress and sweater are from good ole Target!! So CUTE!!)
So far that is the fun we have had this Fall!! November is a great month! It reminds me not only of all that I am thankful for because of Thanksgiving -- but because both my little babies born in the month of November had very scary births and we are just so thankful for their lives!! It was a close call on both of them and we have a lot to celebrate this month!!! I am blessed indeed!
