Sunday Drive and Pumpkin Decorating

A few weekends ago we packed the family into the van and went for a drive to Gagetown to take the kids on the very short ferry ride. When we lived in Nelson our good friends Chris and Sharon lived in a community called Glade and we had to take one of these ferry's to thier house. Noah still talks about the Glade Ferry so we thought he would enjoy the one in Gagetown.
The pumpkin decorating kit is the best thing ever! Greg won it at Noah's school's Family Fun Night. The kids had a ball decorating thier pumpkins and there was no mess.

Kya Turns 3

I can't believe our little girl is 3 years old. She is turning into a real girly girl and only wants to wear skirts or dresses these days with her "big socks". She loves lip gloss and jewerely. She makes us smile everyday and we love her so much!We hope you had a great birthday Tico!
Kya had an extended 3rd birthday this year. It started on Thursday when her preschool friends had a party for her and then later that night Grammie and Art brought over their gifts for her since they were going to be away on her actual birthday. Grammie, of course, has her clothed for another year Friday us girls hung out and we went out to dinner with Gramma and Grampa and then they came over afterwards for some cake. Greg made Kya a gorgeous VW Van toybox. She loves it and it looks great up in her room. He worked really hard to get it done for her birthday. Great job Daddy-O!
Sunday we had Kya's birthday party with our friends. We stole the idea of having a pajama/pancake party followed by a craft and cupcakes. Greg cooked up a storm while enjoying his coffee and Bailey's. Kya got alot of great gifts from her friends, a big thank you to everyone!

Rake those leaves!

It seems like the only thing that has been getting done around our house lately is the raking of leaves. Greg and the kids build the pile, Noah and Kya jump in it, Greg cleans it up again and then it gets bagged. The camera is always close by to capture the moment.

Siblings

This is my new favorite picture of Briana in the tub. Briana sleeps with us every night and most nights Greg gets kicked out by Kya anytime after 3am. Noah doesn't usually come into our room but every once in a while he has a bad dream and comes in. The other morning I woke up to having all three kids in my bed. I got up to help get everyone ready for school and preschool and had to take a picture of them. I love it.

Fall Photos

We love the fall. It's hard to take a bad picture this time of year, especially when the models are so darn cute!

The Farm

A few weekends ago we went to a potluck/bonfire out in Stanley (well..almost in Stanley) Greg works with Pete who invited all of CBCL over to thier farm. We packed up the family and off we went. The kids had a ball. There were lots of other kids running around and dogs chasing each other. Ruben was exhausted for the week afterwards. Pete also has two pigs which were a highlight. I think the best part of the evening was watching all of the kids play around in the barn. It looked like so much fun.
