~Pumpkin Patch~

I love fall....and one of my favorite fall activities is heading to the pumpkin patch.  Our weekends filled up quickly this year so we didn't get a trip to Tanner's in....but we did manage to make a quick weeknight trip to Rader's.  Kinley had soooo much fun!  I can't wait to take the kiddos again next year!

Starved Rock

Matt and I celebrated our anniversary with a quick get away to Staved Rock.   It was a beautiful weekend!!  We stayed at a bed and breakfast in Utica and it was so nice.  We got into town Friday evening and went to Duffy's to eat...they had such good food!  Saturday we hiked along the trails for about four hours and then went for a drink at Captain's Cove.  It was perfect hiking weather, 55 and sunny.  Later that evening we went back to Captain's Cover for dinner and the food was delicious there too!  It was a good thing we hiked for four hours considering how much food we ate that weekend!  Ha!

We love our kiddos dearly.....but it was wonderful to get away for the weekend just the two of us!! :)



~5 Years~

Five years ago today I married a wonderful man!  It's been a great 5 years and here's to many many more!

One Year Pictures

We're hoping to get some outdoor fall pictures taken of all of the kids and a few for Hudson's one year here soon, but just in case the weather didn't hold out I wanted to make sure we at least got a few before it was too late.  :)  Hudson sure is stingy with the smiles with "strangers" around, but we did manage to get a few out of him.

The boys...

The boys ready for the game...

TOUCHDOWN!!

And the little miss insisted on getting her picture taken too.....and said "I need my hand like this."  Well alrighty then.

~Baptisms~

Kinley and Hudson were baptized on Saturday evening.  What a special day for the kiddos!  :)  We are blessed to have such wonderful little ones.

After the ceremony we came back to our house for dinner and cake.  What a wonderful day with family and friends.
