October!!!

We have had a terrific October! We enjoyed going to the Pumpkin Patch with some great friends. Anne thanks for taking some amazing photos for us to remember the event. We carved pumpkins, we had the Halloween Parade at Kurtis school, the carnival at Kurtis' school, and the Trunk or Treat at church! It was a ton of fun and kept us very busy!! Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween!!

She was so tuckered out after watching Kurtis play with his friends!!Something happened with her and the balloons...then she lost her wand, she was a bit sad!Kurtis and all his loot!!!

His face painting...Jazz!!

our Little Ones

Sarah did great at her year check up.
She is 29 inches long, weighs 19 lbs. 14 ounces, and her head is 44.8 cm.

She has started to really get the hang of walking and continues to try and run after Kurtis. She absolutely adores her brother and will take interest in just about whatever he is interested in. She loves any sort of music and will find a beat to dance to whenever there is music near.

Little Kurtis update: he scored a goal last week (from half way down the field) and again this week he scored a goal. He is improving!!

Sarah is ONE!!

Happy Birthday to our little one...we love her so much. She is so happy all of the time. She is walking (stumbling) around a lot, she can say lots of words (all done, cracker, pear, momma, dadda, dadurs...Kurtis) most of them have to do with food, she is my daughter. We had family and some friends over for a little birthday this weekend. She made a complete mess of the cupcake that daddy made for her. We have her one year appointment this week so I will update you and let you know her stats afterwards. Here are some recent fun photos of her.

Our walking girl!!!

People she did it, she took three steps earlier, and five today....here she goes!!!

our big boy

This week has been a busy week for our little boy!!

Kurtis had his first soccer game which he scored a goal and had a ton of fun with the boys on his team.

He and I had a mommy & son date to see Walking With The Dinosaurs, I highly recommend if you have a lover of dinosaurs like we do take them to this!!! It was amazing, the photos did not come out well because you are not supposed to use flash photography (...because it might startle the animals??- yeah that is what I said). The video is pretty cool though, we were in the VERY top of the seating and the dinosaurs were still right there!

and then big moment....he started kindergarten! We are excited for him and know that he will do great.Sarah and I will be sitting alone wondering where our Kurtis is right around lunch time!

it might be crazy...

and yes it is my life. Sarah looked so adorable on Sunday and I wanted to take a photo of her but this is all we got. Of course Kurtis had to be in it with us...and then Sarah wouldn't look at the camera. This is me going "just forget it!".She has really started to get bigger and bigger!! She is trying to talk to everyone, she can climb up Kurtis ladder to his bunk bed (this is REALLY NOT a good thing!), and she loves to get inside of containers (boxes, drawers, basically anything). In this photo she is actually signing and saying Baby..she is so fun!

This is Sarah climbing up the ladder, she has no fear and sorry the Kurtis is taping it because I can't let her do it by herself although she would!

Kurtis started soccer which he is loving and is still loving his legos, he is really ready to start school. I am sure there will be LOTS of tears from me the day I take him to school.

The two of them together is so fun to watch, they really do love and adore one another. Sarah really enjoys talking to Kurtis and Kurtis loves to entertain her.

We love them both and our crazy life!
