Go Hawks!

We are Seahawk fans, even when they aren't doing so well.  Robbie is a bit . . . well, fanatical.  He plans things around football like my dad plans things around hunting!  Robbie bought Isa (our niece) a Seahawk jersey onesie when she was a baby.  We borrowed it for Soph this season.  She looked so cute!!!

Grrrr . . . we're tough!

It's even mom's favorite player!

Hey Rosie, wanna play?

Ok, fine, I'll play with Lili!

Autumn Leaves are Falling

Papi took Sophia to help him shake the leaves off the trees in our yard.  He was tired of waiting for them to fall off on their own.  Soph thought it was great!

Halloween

Bella decided she didn't want to be anything "cute" this year.  She wanted to be a witch.  It wasn't my favorite costume, but she ended up being a pretty darn cute "disco witch," as she called herself.

I decided Sophia was going to be a lion, in honor of our last name!  It was a super cute costume!  Unfortunately, she had the flu and was throwing up all day.  :(  Poor baby!  Here she is anyway!

And my girls together . . .

Pumpkin Carving

Ok, I FINALLY downloaded all of the pictures off my camera!  I know, I know, it took way too long.  So, let's start with carving pumpkins!

We had some friends over this year for pumpkin carving.  Ty boy took things pretty seriously and came with his stencil pages and little carving gadgets!  The kids really got into things, even the babies!  BJ's new "puppy," Moose, even had a good time.  He got so excited he peed all over the kitchen floor!

Here are some pictures of the process, and the final products!

Yes, my husband is wearing rubber gloves to clean out the pumpkin . . .

Bella dug right in!

Bad Blogger!

Ok, I know I've been terrible in the last month about keeping you updated!  We have had a lot going on.  We've had Halloween, both of the girls were sick over a two week period (they were really nice to each other and passed it back and forth!), an award for Bella at school, lots of snow, Thanksgiving, and Sophia's 1st Birthday!!!  I promise I'll post some pictures soon . . . as soon as I get them downloaded from my camera!

Hunting Pumpkins, Part 2

We love the Country Mercantile.  It's a little place on the way to the Tri Cities.  They have all sorts of yummy treats, cute stuff for your house, and every fall, they have a pumpkin patch, hayrides, corn maze, etc.  We took Bella last year and she had a blast.  I was fat and pregnant, so technically, Sophia was there.  This year was her first real visit though!  Here are some pictures from our pumpkin hunting adventure . . .

Did our shopping inside, now we're ready for some fun outside!

Bella & Dad ready to get started . . . in the rain!

Soph wants to get going!

What a cute family we have!

Sophia loved the pumpkins!

Bella liked climbing all over . . . everything!

I think the babies were tired of us trying to take their pictures all the time!

Dad and Soph in the corn field.

She loved the hay ride!

So did Bella, but she didn't want to sit with us!

Ready to hunt for our pumpkins!!!

Getting rained on in the pumpkin patch.

She was super excited she found a huge pumpkin!

Yes, that's Bella rockin' it on top of one of the giant hay stacks.

Ready to find our way through the corn maze. 

4-wheeling through a corn field with a stroller . . .

yeah, it was a fantastic idea!

Hmmm, which way should I lead mom and sister???

Sophia was done before we even made it out of the corn maze!

A long, fun, but tiring day!
