Pumpkin Patch 2011

First of all, blogger drives me insane trying to figure out how to upload pictures in any kind of order....urgh!!! These are completely out of order! oh well.
Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch was a success!!
We had a great time!
The kids loved the animals and the tractor ride the best!
Me - I'm there for the treats (hot apple cider, etc)

Mom and Dad with the kids. My obnoxious son wouldn't let poor Pappy sit down.

and then their own dad couldn't sit for a picture either. we were on the brink of double meltdowns at this point!

SWIM

My kids can't get enough of the water which is perfect for Mark and I since we love it as well. It had been about 2 months since our last swim so it was clearly time to make a trip to an indoor pool. Kailyn did her usual swimming underwater with eyes open the entire time. Luke had lots of fun on the lazy river with Emmy. Mark was there so I could visit with my sister - PERFECT! Allie played and took care of the little ones. The kids had so much fun!!! We will definitely be heading back to Taylorville for a swim again.

Fun at Aunt Marney's House

I loaded up the kids on Monday and headed to Shelbyville for the night. The kids were so excited to play with Allison and Emily (Lucas calls here M-E-M). Lucas and Emmy got marshmallow guns for Christmas and tried them out in Aunt Marney's house. They had the best time! They played with those guns for hours and Kailyn enjoyed following behind them eating marshmallows (nice). I was able to meet Monica and Mills for dinner that night while my sister took care of the kids. When I got home Lucas and Emmy were sleeping together and Kailyn was in bed with Allison. Kailyn lasted until about midnight and then slept with me. It was a great visit to the ville!
