Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for this....a little girl who loves to go to church. 

There's Never Ever Ever Been A Show Like......

VEGGIETALES!!!!!

We sang about hairbrushes, cheeseburgers, and say-boos!!!! And wished Bob and Larry a happy birthday last night.  For a special surprise last night Brian and I took JUST Addison out for a night. We went out to Taco Bell (she wanted Tacos) and then to VeggieTales Live. She had so much fun singing the songs and chasing bubbles. 

Then the best part! We got to meet Bob and Larry!!!!!

Sometimes it is fun just to have special time with just Addison. She needs that special time too! 

Happy Saturday!

Saturdays Shorthanded Update

So it's been a couple weeks since I updated the blog again. So today you get a Saturday's Shorthanded Edition Update.

We carved pumpkins this week, we didn't have any tears like the last couple of years, everyone got their letter and everyone was happy. Addison and Charlotte (purple pants) even helped take the insides out. Savannah wanted nothing to do with it.

Here's the house update.

Windows are all in, garage doors are in, siding is 90% done. That is getting finished today. Then we have to caulk and paint all edges and that's done too. Then we can start working on the inside.

Side and backside of house.

The twins turned 2 since the last time I posted. 

And why is it that we are already fully embracing the terrible two's???? 

Times 2 girls. 

And then there is this one....she is still up to her normal shenanigans.

This past week was the first week for Wednesday night church for her.

 She loves it!  

Fall Filled Weekend

What a weekend! 

First on Friday afternoon Brian and the girls and I went and picked apples over at the Dutch Farm Market. The apples were huge and the girls had a great time.

Then we went to the Post Family Farm on Saturday morning with Aunt Kellie and the boys and Aunt Ash and Grandma Krol.

The girls had a blast here too, we got to do some exploring and had fun with our cousins.

We rode in some "pumpkin" barrels.

Aunt Ash and Brennan got some snuggles.

Aunt Ash is so awesome....she took all of these three rug-rats down the slide!

We went for a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

And the girls found some pumpkins.

Addison and Landon went for a walk

And on the way back someone was close to being done. But at the mention of donuts everyone chippered up and got to enjoy some great donuts and apple cider!

Wordless Wednesday - Fall Is In The Air

Pumpkinfest

So we didn't just get to work on our house this weekend. We got to go to Pumpkinfest in Zeeland.

The Critter Barn was their with some animals and the girls loved it!!!

Savannah thought it was so cool that she could pet and touch the animals.

Charlotte wanted nothing to do with them.

Addison thought she was big stuff that she got to hold the baby chicks.

We got to play fun little carnival games.

And we got our faces painted.

And got our pictures taken in the pumpkins. Addison thought she was so cool to be a pumpkin head.

Then bright and early on Saturday morning we got to do the Pumpkinfest run.

Addison and her cousins got to do the 100 yd dash.

Addison may have finished in 2 place.....to last.

But we all got cool medals.

She was so proud of herself!!!!!!!
