Tree Planting

Trevin got to help Will plant a tree in our yard. Trevin loves helping Papa!

Hello!

Yup, we are still here plugging away! I added a bunch of pics from October and November. I know...I'm a little behind the times! Oh well.

Kiddos are good. No crawlers in our house yet. Both are sitting unassisted and Elena scoots around. Orrin has two teeth and is working on a third. Elena has no sign of any teeth yet. They are eating solids and Orrin really enjoys his food. Elena seems to just tolerate eating solids. At their 6 month apt, Elena weighed 15 lbs and Orrin weighed 16 lbs. Nights are still not so fun. Both think their big brother is about the most entertaining thing ever. Trevin can get them laughing better than anyone! Orrin has a quick smile and giggle for anyone. Usually you have to work a bit harder to win Elena over. Both give the best cuddles and snuggles. :-)

Trevin is very into hunting right now. He really wants to go "shoot a bear and a cougar." He also really enjoys playing at his 'struction site in our backyard. He's currently building two houses at his 'struction site. :-) He's full of talk about his school and the kids that he plays with there. They sent home a progress report last week (I know...a progress report in preschool!?) that showed he was doing well.

Enjoy all the pics!

Life at the Zoo

We had a

Pretty 'lil Penguin

And

a Mischievous 'lil Monkey

"What's on your head?"

"What big ears you have!"

"Quit TOUCHING me!"

Trevin getting all slimy

PS: Mr. T had a costume also. He flatly refused to do anything with it. That's okay! We had candy at our house and Mama had fun dressing the babies up!

Mom's 70th B-day

Mom's 70th Birthday was November 1st and she got to celebrate a couple of times! A nice dinner at Gram's on Sunday and then a surprise party on her actual birthday.

Mom and Dad

Mom's good friend Jan W and her husband came and surprised Mom at Sunday am meeting. Very special for Mom.

Visit to the Farm

We visited a local farm that puts on a harvest festival. Lots of fun!

Papa being silly!

Mama and Mr. T

Coming out of the corn maze. I was about to send a search party in there...it took them FOREVER to get through!

Waiting for big brother and Papa

Getting on the pony. Not too sure about it though!

Big smiles! I love this picture of our boy. New things and transitions are hard for him right now so this smile showed how proud he was!

Playing in the sandbox

Pumpkin Patch

Getting pumpkins from Bampa's pumpkin patch

Trevin and Bampa. Mr. T was doing everything in his power to not look or smile at the camera. Notice the little grin that is trying to escape!

Miss E not too impressed with the whole experience.
