Boo! Did We Scare You?

It frightens us that it has been so long since we've shared what's up here on our blog!  It only makes sense to start with today and work backwards a bit until you get bored of reading about our rather mundane lives.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  We have been visiting pumpkin patches left and right with our little pumpkins - they love getting dirty and giving us big smiles.

Our Littlest Pumpkin in the Pumpkin Patch

This melts my heart...

Such sweet, happy girls!

Going for a ride!

The weather has gotten colder but we've had fun outside - and in!

We love cheering on the Broncos and the Vikings!

We had an early October snow that gave us the chance to try out new snow/ski gear.

CR is growing up WAY too quickly.  At almost 9.5 months she is standing for extended periods of time without holding onto anything.  She also transfers between furniture.  We are pretty sure her first steps aren't too far away.  She is still toothless but manages to eat finely cut-up table food very well.  The baby food stage did not last more than a month or so with her.  She is also playing peek-a-boo; saying Mama, Dada, and Aee (Addie); and clapping her hands.  She signs "please" at daycare, but not at home.  

CR loves to eat real food!  

Snicks has been incredibly busy at school so we were relieved to get a little help from Grandma B earlier this fall.

Grandma B came and helped out while Snicks made great strides on his schoolwork.  

We even managed to get away to Winter Park - our favorite!

Addie is a fan of hiking... especially when it means a snack picnic in nature.  

Cousin N showed the girls a thing or two about slacklining.  

There were so many "firsts" as our big girl got bigger and our baby continued to grow up.

We headed out on "Uncle Dave's" boat for AG's first time tubing...

...CR's first time on a boat... 

...and Snicks' only shot at waterskiing this summer. 

AG loved having a garden full of tomatoes at her disposal all summer.   

CR just loved life.  

We took a quick trip back to MN - Lots of Smiles!

Grandma D showed off her amazing "Grandma Hug" skills.  

And AG learned to pedal!
