Winter is here!

And the kids loved it!

Treats

These two like their sweets! I don't know who they get that from!

Fall Fun

Fall is in full swing here!  While the nights have been cool and crisp, the days have been perfect for lots of outdoor fun. Let's hope this weather sticks around for awhile!

 

 

 

Acadia turns 4!

Last weekend was one full of family and fun...and a 4th birthday!


It started with a fun day at school...

Followed by cupcakes at night...

Acadia was adamant about the cake.  She's been talking for months about having a Hello Kitty cake.  I was happy to make this for her...

The big present...a new bike!  Pink, of course.

So now Rylan gets her old bike...

 

 

 

Not a bad weekend if I do say so myself!!

Summer Vacation

It feels like we just got back from being away but somehow it was weeks ago!  From Milwaukee to Orland Park, Paw Paw Lake to Roselle, Madison and then to the North Woods we sure were on a whirlwind tour.  Everyone had fun and everyone came home tired!  I think that's the sign of a good trip!

Summer fun

The weather's been hot here and we've been taking advantage of it.  Here's some of our latest fun:

Finally

It's been over 3 1/2 years in the making, but Acadia finally let me put pigtails in her hair! 

Rylan's first haircut

I finally took Rylan to get a real haircut.  I've cut his hair a couple of times, but he was definitely in need of professional help.  It was getting a little long in the back and I didn't think he would sit still for me.  While I'm glad I did it, I do miss the longer hair and younger look.  Now he really looks like  a big boy!

Getting big

It amazes me how big both Acadia and Rylan have gotten.  Especially lately.  They run. They climb.  They don't sit still for anything.  I keep telling myself they're keeping me young, but the gray hairs keep popping up!
