Annual Portraits

It's hard to believe the kids will be 1 and 3 in a couple of days! They did great for their pictures today. Here's some of the best shots.

(I think Charlie looks like a little doll in this one!)

Fall Festival

Taylor had a good time at the Fall Festival this weekend. She painted a pumpkin, played games, watched a magician (she wasn't too impressed) and made halloween crafts.

Who Dey

The kids enjoy football Sunday. (They get to eat their lunch in the basement in front of the TV) Mommy and Daddy don't enjoy it quite as much. Who Dey? Everyone, apparently...

Cousins

The kids are spending lots of time together now that Aunt Jessica and I alternate watching them once a week. They seem to be having fun together.

Go Bengals

We were at the Bengals game the day of the big wind storm. Good seats, bad game.

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo with Aunt Jessica and cousin Grace and Jacob last week. The best part was feeding the giraffes. Grace was scared at first, but Taylor did it right away!

Detroit Lakes

Taylor went on her first vacation to Minnesota with Mommy and Daddy.

She did a great job on her first plane ride. Her favorite part was the shade on the window.

She swam a little bit with Daddy (until her face got wet on accident).

She did a great job fishing on the boat! She wasn't sure what to think of them at first, but then she decided they were pretty neat.

She really liked the pontoon boat and even went tubing with mommy!

Summer Wedding

We went to Mark's cousin's wedding last night. It was beautiful and the kids were so good. Charlie went home early with his grandma, but Taylor stayed until 10:30! She loved dancing on the dance floor. It was so cute.

Taylor would have danced all night if we let her!

First Movie

Taylor went to her first movie with her cousin Grace last week. They watched The Veggie Tales. They had to share a seat because they kept folding up on them!

Charlie's 9 Months Old

Today was the easiest photo session I've ever had! I left Taylor at Aunt Jessica's and took Charlie after his nap. He was such a cutie and smiled the whole time. It's hard to believe he's 9 months old. He's a great crawler and he's pretty good at pulling up too!
