Fall Party (a little late)

About a month ago, we went to our friend's annual fall party.  As always, it was a fabulous night!  Good conversation, great friends, excellent food, lots of kids, and lots of fun!  It was a chilly night, but thankfully they have a heated barn, so we were able to keep the babies in the group warm (made for a very nice night)!

Charlee and Kyran were talking all night.  Not sure what they were talking about, but they sure had a lot to say!

My Boys!

Just a few random shots of our boys...love, love, love these two little guys!

I heard a funny noise coming from the kitchen...this is what I found!  He's such a stinker!

 These two boys play in the bath every night!  All I hear is giggling and splashing.  I'm so happy that I have two boys that love each other so much (at least for now)...so blessed to be their momma!

We have a Grandpa Jim look alike!

Playing catch up!

It's been almost a month since I've posted...I can blame the harvest, the toddler, the baby, the job, or I can just be honest and say that time has just gotten away from me!

Not much has happened in the past month, just our everyday life.  Andy finished up harvest a couple of weeks ago.  Ben enjoyed lots of time in the combine.  Kyran made a few trips around the field, but stayed with mommy for the most part.  We managed to slip away for a camping trip with the boys and friends, we took Ben to a Purdue Volleyball game, traveled to my parents for a Halloween party, two different friends homes for fall parties, and made a trip to my sister's to see little Lucy!

Here are some photos from the past month...our life in pictures.

Boo!



6 Months (just a little late)!

Kyran is 6 months (actually he's almost 7, but I'm just a little behind)!

He had a great visit to the doctor.  He is 25 1/4 inches and weighs 19 lbs. and 4 oz.  He's in the 75% for weight and 95% for height.  He had to get some shots, which he did not like at all, but he recovered quickly!

Not only is he growing, he's also moving.  Since turning 6 months, he's discovered the army crawl, the wiggle crawl, the throw your leg in the air crawl, and an actual hands and knees crawl.  He's definitely a mover and he loves to get into everything.  I think we had the whole house baby-proofed before Ben was a month old...of course, Ben never touched a thing.  Kyran, unfortunately, is not following in his brother's footsteps.  If he sees it, and he can reach it, he's into it!

Not the clearest picture...but evidence of the mover we have.  Andy takes the boys to breakfast on Saturday's, and he's now resorted to taking the walker so that Kyran can stay entertained...he's not one to just sit on our laps and play.  I love our small town restaurant!!!

He loves all food, is having lots of fun trying to figure out how to get cheerios into his mouth, and we're working on a sippy cup.  He's really growing up!

Welcome to the world, sweet Lucy!

My sister and her husband welcomed their third daughter, Lucy Anne, on September 26th.  Little Lucy entered the world weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces and is 20 inches long.   We are so happy for all of them!

Bye Bye Summer!

This past weekend, we loaded up the boys and headed to Raccoon lake for a last minute camping trip.  Our friends, Chad and Callie, invited us to go, and we actually had a weekend with no plans...so, why not!  We were able to borrow Andy's, Uncle Ed's pontoon boat, and let me just say, THAT is the way to go on the lake with kiddos!  It was so easy to get in and out of the water, we could put Kyran in his exer-saucer in the back, and there was plenty of room to walk around and enjoy each other's company!  The weather was perfect and I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the adults...we were just sorry that we had to pack up and head back home.  What a way to cap off a fantastic summer!

The cutest little skipper I've ever seen :)

Nap time!

These boys had SO much fun together!

Brian and Taylor came down on Saturday afternoon and joined us on the water.  Kyran found a nice spot to nap!

When we weren't on the boat, we were lounging back at the campers...don't the dads look comfy :)

Fun at Aunt Stacey's!

We loaded up and headed to my sister's house the other day to visit with them for the afternoon...they are preparing for baby #3's arrival in a few weeks, so we thought it would be easier to head their way!  Andy's sister and her family went with us to help deliver a sofa-sleeper (anyone that has ever had to move one of those, knows that you definitely need help)!  Mom and Dad also stopped by, so it made for a very nice afternoon!
