Preschool Field Trip

Madeleine's preschool headed to Jubilee Farms for a field trip. We took a hay ride out to get a pumpkin, saw all the farm animals and went through a hay maze. Madeleine's best buddy in class had the same Halloween shirt on and the girls got a kick out of that! What a fun, beautiful Fall day with my sweet girl!

Fall

We're getting ready for Fall over here! I tried my first pinterest craft and made this wreath!

19-Months

Braden is 19-months old! He is doing more and more each day. He is really starting to make sense when he talks and we can actually understand what he is saying. These days he is very into making all of the animal sounds - meow, mooo, quack, neigh, ect. Ever since we fed the ducks near our house, he has connected the idea that animals are real and don't just exist in books! We also visited the zoo with friends where he got to see lots of other animals! He also loves to make the sound "choo choo" for train and "eeeohhh eeeohhh" for the fire truck!

He is really into using a fork and spoon when he eats these days...just a tad bit messy! Ever since Auntie Amy visited, he has started to sign and say the word "more" and can sign for milk and ask for "wa wa" (water). 

Salmon Days!

We took Braden to his 1st parade on Saturday! He loved it! He sat right next to Madeleine the entire time and watched all the floats and bands go by. He enjoyed the bands the most, totally bouncing up and down to the music. It was so cute to watch!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

We celebrated Jeff's birthday over the weekend! We picked him up from work and surprised him with balloons and dinner out! We haven't been out to dinner with the kids in ages...but we tried it and our evening out went surprisingly well.

We stopped at Alki beach on the way to play outside. We are having an amazing Fall here in the NW and want to take advantage of our beautiful weather...the rain will be here soon enough. After pizza, we stopped to take in the sunset on the way home.

Jeff's actual birthday was Sunday and we started out the morning with a yummy breakfast and then headed out to watch the Seahawks game with friends! Ended our day with a yummy ice-cream cake :) Happy Birthday Jeff, we love you!

Soccer Girl!

Madeleine started her new soccer class today! She was so excited...especially after missing last week because of the flu - yuck! Her friend JD is also in the class and they had fun together! The teachers were nice enough to let Braden run around and play with everything...SCORE!!! Both my kids get to be happy & active!

Day at the Farm!

Madeleine & I had a fun mommy-daughter date out to Jubilee Farm to celebrate the coming of Fall Harvest! The farm had tractor rides, lots of animals and beautiful gardens to look at and homemade ice-cream...yum! We had a blast!
