Pumpkin Patch

We picked out our pumpkins and were ready to go. I had the kids pose by the old truck.

Addie had the best time pumping water and watching the bucket tip over.

This is all the closer Addie wanted to get to the sheep. She never actually pets any animals but likes to look at them.

Daddy and Addison were walking on top of the bails.

The kids were playing in the sand!

Addison was peeking out the window of the playhouse at the pumpkin patch.

My kids love to swing. We need a swing set in our backyard.

This is Addison riding the bucking bull with her friend Bella.

Brayden and Aaron were trying to rope the steer. They neve quite

We went to the pumpkin patch in Turon. We went last year for the first time and had alot of fun so we decided to go back this year. I am glad we went when we did because it is getting cold.

Lucas playing soccer!

Lucas's team had a winning season! He had his last game today. They won almost every game, tied 2 games, and only lost one. He said he scored a goal today and he did the last game too. I couldn't go to his last game because Brayden was sick today.

He mostly played midfield. He likes playing forward the best because he thinks that position gives him the best opportunity to score a goal. He played Ateam this year. He started about half the time. There were over 50 kids on the team this year. Only 16 made the Ateam. We love to watch him play.

It is funny to see his facial expressions when he is playing. He has such an intense look on his face.

Addison and daddy were waiting to get on the ferris wheel!

This is Addison after she got off the train ride. She loved the ride but didn't like the carny. I was right there but she kept saying " mommy get me"!

This is Addison on the Train ride. She loved it!

Brayden went on this ride with him friend Wyatt.

Addison and her friends Mallory and Lyndsey went on the elephant ride.

I got a couple of quick picture of Addison and Brayden before church one Sunday.

Summer fun and Brayden's baptism!

Addison has been in potty training mode for about 3 days now and has not had an accident with pottying yet, but we haven't gotten the other thing down yet.

This is Brayden's car collection from the Cars movie. The kids really have a good time playing with the cars!

This is Addison with her favorite baby! She is going to be a great mommy someday.

Lucas started school this last Thursday. I can't believe he is an 8th grader.

Brayden started school Monday. He seams to like his teacher and is making new friends.

Signs of summer. Gaedderts corn on the cob. Yum, yum!

Another sign of summer. SUN DRESSES! It is fun to buy dresses for little girls!

We always have fun in our pool. The kids love to have their friends over to come splash in the pool.

Brayden learned how to do a back flip off the diving board this summer.

Brayden was baptized this summer! We are very proud of him for making that step.

This is Addison playing dress up with her friend Lyndsey.

Saying good-bye to Uncle Brad and Family

4th of July in Fairbury

My friend made Addison's outfit for the 4th. It was so cute!

I had the kids pose for a quick pic after we got back from Misti's house! We had a good time going to the flea market and fireworks! We wish the rest of the family could have been there to enjoy the fun.

It was sprinkling a little so we had to move under vans to watch the fireworks.

Brook didn't like the loud fireworks! She was so cute!

Mile's just kept scooting off the blanket. He was getting pretty mobile. He was happy the whole night and even fell asleep during the fireworks.

My kids loved the sparklers. We made Lucas do some. He was so thrilled.

Addison kept it as far away from her as she could.

Ranger Ride

Addison loves to ride the ranger with grandpa! She kept begging him for more rides. It is one of the grandkids favorite things to do when they go to grandpa and grandma's house.
