Pumpkin Patch

Here are some pictures we took at a pumpkin patch. These are the best we could come up with. It was hard to get both girls to sit and smile at the same time. Adysen loved looking around at all the pumpkins.

Sharing with Kaitlynn.

Here is a video of our adventures. It is pretty long.

I could edit it, but then I probably wouldn't get around to posting for a few more days.

Adysen's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Adysen!! We had such a fun day celebrating with Grandpa and Grandma Smith, Calene and Eric, Anessa, and Ben. We had yummy treats: cupcakes, cookies, and homemade icecream. Adysen especially liked the frosting. She would just eat the frosting off the top of the cupcakes then ask for "more frosting." She also liked to eat the frosting cherries off the top of the cookies. We can't believe how grown up our little girl is!

Adysen's cupcakes!

Eating the candles before I had a chance to light them.

Homemade Ice Cream: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (with real homemade cookie dough), Banana Muffin Ice Cream (aka Caramelized Banana Icecream), and Strawberry Blueberry Frozen Yogurt. --As you can see somebody has been having fun with an ice cream maker. :)

Conference Nap Time!!

WOW!!

Cooking us up some food!

Kaitlynn's First Laugh

While we were filming Adysen's birthday today, we captured Kaitlynn's first laugh on camera!! So awesome!!

Ice Cream and Cupcake Cookies--Birthday Preview

Well, it has taken me all afternoon to update the blog. Maybe if I updated weekly it would be a little easier. It's tough going through 500 pictures to select the ones to post!!

Be sure to click on "older posts" at the bottom...because there are that many new posts!!

Here is a little preview of Adysen's birthday treats! I will post more about her birthday later this week. I just discovered cookie decorating a couple months ago. I am excited for the next occasion to make a batch....Halloween seems a little too far away! Cookies anyone?!?! :)

End of September Pictures

A few random pictures to wrap up September:

"I see you"

Holding her "baby." Needless to say, now she has one more thing to play with at dinner time.

Does anyone else have a hard time getting their kids to smile for the camera?

Fun with Sidewalk Chalk

September 16th--I finally pulled out the box of sidewalk chalk that we bought at the beginning of the summer....I cannot believe how fast this summer went!!

Adysen is helping Alton fix his bike...peak-a-boo!!

Two...Three...Two....Three...

This video was taken of Adysen at the end of August. She has been learning how to count. However, she usually just repeats two numbers over and over...in this case "two, three, two, three." Sometimes it is "three, four..." We are still (it is now October) working on linking them all together. :)

She is also learning her colors. At the time of the video she knew blue and yellow...although not always labeling things the correct color.

I was glad I was able to get this on tape before she saw the camera...she is such a cutie!!
