Grandparents
We have truly been blessed with amazing parents and grandparents that are so much a part of our lives and the lives of our children! Although we are missing pictures of Great Grandpa and Grandma D - they are very much a blessing to our family.

Stylin' - Nov 2011
Brother's hat with pink headband added. Single gardening glove...and a bib being carried like a bag.
Sister Turns 2
It is amazing how quickly the time goes by. It is hard to believe Sister is now a 2-year old. She is such a bundled of laughs and we are so blessed to have her be a part of our family.
Although we celebrated Sister's birthday a couple week's early with everyone, we still had fun as a family on her actual birthday.

First Snow of the Season
Bound and determined to make a snowman...we ended up with a wee little one for a couple of hours.
The kids were out all bundled up early in the morning - by lunch time most of the snow was melted...by dinner time it was gone, but Sister still went out and pulled the sleds around the yard.
Ready for Our New One to Arrive - October 2011
It was fun to get a few pregnancy pictures taken before our newest addition arrived. This was one of my favorites.
Halloween - October 2011
My little mini-Daddy and our sweet little ladybug. We enjoyed a fun evening spent mostly at our church for the annual "Fall Festival" and then enjoyed visiting with some of our neighbors before returning home.

Sister's - 2-year Birthday Party
With our newest addition arriving right around Sister's actual birthday we decided to celebrate a few weeks early. We did a cowgirl/horse theme this year. We had a ton of fun with our family and Sister was still going strong at 9:00!!
Sister loves her new little dress-up shoes!
Grandma Denise made this adorable matching nightgown set for Sister and her baby doll. Precious!
Center pieces for the tables.
Sister really enjoyed hanging out with her cousins and riding around on tricycles and her new big wheel in the garage!
I decided to make cakes from scratch this year - I did a lemon cake and strawberry cupcakes - both with home made cream cheese frosting - they actually turned out pretty good. Brother was a big help!
Scarecrow Friend
We had fun putting together our first life-size scarecrow for our front porch. All the pumpkins came out of our garden.

Homeschool 2011
We started school back up on August 1st anticipating the arrival of our newest little blessing in early November (only six weeks from now). We have taken a few field trips already and have lots of pictures that will be included in our homeschool digital scrapbook at the end of the year. I may occasionally post field trip pictures on here, but for the most part I will post all of them at once at year's end. I hope to keep our blog updated on a monthly basis this year...I know some of you are thinking I have said this before, but I really am going to try.
We feel truly blessed for all that we have - our marriage, beautiful children, Daddy's job, me staying home and homeschooling Brother, to name a few! I praise God each day for his mercy and grace upon me as I know I do not deserve what he has provided.

Family Zoo Trip - September
We spent an afternoon/evening at the zoo as a family and really enjoyed our time. The kids had a lot of fun seeing all the animals (riding and feeding some of them too).
Yep - dumped the whole cup in at once - the fish loved it!
We were studying camels for our mammal nature study so thought it would be fun for Brother to be able to ride on one. We also took some time to sketch out camels as well.

State Fair Fun - August 2011
We enjoyed a very long day at the State Fair as a family! Sister had become very infatuated with cows the couple of weeks before the fair so she definitely got her fill. We did tally marks on a piece of paper marking down all the cows we ran across - I think it was 130, but don't remember for sure.
Little Hands on the Farm - Brother had a great time with these hands-on activities - planting seeds, picking fruits/vegetables - he even got a free hat.
Foot-long corn dog! Yep - he ate the whole thing.
PB & J on a stick - she really just preferred eating all the grapes.
I think it took me 20 pictures to actual get one where the tongue was sticking out - Daddy's's arm was quite wet by the time we were done.
Even after a full day at the fair - Sister was still full of smiles!
