Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! Just wanted to post a couple of pictures from our many Halloween festivities. The Sunday before Halloween we all had fun carving our pumpkins. Daddy went online to find drawings to put on our pumpkins....Jason and I arn't very artistic, so this is as close as we got. Kennidee really wanted to put Barney on her pumpkin, but we couldn't find a cut-out of him, so she settled with a horse. She is really into horses right now, so she was carrying around her pumpkin all morning with the horse paper on it. We weren't sure if she would let us carve it since she was so attached to the horse paper, but in the end she was excited to see it light up. Jason carved a cat and pumpkin on his, I had a lizard, and Landon had a smiley face. Kennidee was so excited to see them all lite up on the porch!!

I was able to get a couple of pictures of Kennidee and Landon together with their Halloween shirts on. I love the one of Kennidee showing Landon the little pumpkin. She is such a good big sister and is now sharing most of her toys with her little brother(we'll see how long that lasts).

This year Kennidee was a bumble bee and Landon a cow. Kennidee absolutely refused to wear her hat and threw a fit when I tried to put it on her head!! I even bribed her with a sucker, but nothing worked. I think I got one picture of her with the hat on...oh well...at least she wore the costume. We had our friends, The Dresslers, over for pizza and trick or treating. They live a block over, so it was convient for them to just walk over our house. The kids had a blast playing together and going house to house. Kennidee & Noah made themselves at home at the first house...they walked right inside and Noah started to take his costume off. They both saw the toys and wanted to play!! Too funny. I think Kennidee had 4 suckers that night.....needless to say she didn't go to sleep right away and talked in her crib for like an hour!! Jason and I enjoyed eating some of her candy!!! Yumm Yumm Can't wait for next year! Enjoy

Happy Halloween!!

I can pedal!!

Here are a couple of pictures of Kennidee on her big girl bike. We were all outside the other day and Kennidee decided to get out her bike. She usually just sits on it and then pushes it with her feet on the ground. Well, much to our suprise she put her feet on the pedals and started moving!! Jason and I were so proud of her. I ran into the house and grabbed the camera so we could catch this moment on film!! Our little girl is growing up fast.
We're so proud of you Kennidee!!!

Landon-Snapshots

Just a couple of snapshots of Landon. He is quite the little ham and is very quick to smile. He is now laughing a lot and loves when mommy says "get you get you" and when I sing "ring around the rosie". I was singing it to Kennidee the other day and Landon was laughing and lauging(he was probably laughing at mommy singing!!) He loves his baths, playing on his play gym, his big sister, and his swing(he still takes all his naps in the swing(swaddled)....whatever keeps him sleeping!!) Enjoy the picts of our little man.

Post Farms!!

Can you tell we like going to visit farms!! HAHAHA Kennidee abosolutly loves animals and we've been spending a lot of time at some of the farms around town. We hadn't gotten the chance to get pumpkins yet, so about a week ago we decided to go to Post Farms in Hudsonville. We went on a thursday evening and we were only there an hour before it got too dark. Our mission was to go on a hayride, go to the pumpkin patch and pick out our pumpkins..that didn't happen. Kennidee was too excited to see all the animals, so we spent most of our time feeding the goats and ponies and holding and chasing the little kittens around. She would not leave the kittens alone and was on the verge of tears when we left and couldn't bring one home. At one point she chased a kitten down, grabbed it by the tail(I tried to run and catch her but didn't make it in time) which the kitten didn't like and it scratched her...that didn't faze Kennidee she still went after more kittens! Needless to say we didn't go on our hayride and picked out some pumkins that had already been picked by someone else....oh well...Kennidee had fun and that's all that matters. Our little buddy, Landon, slept most of the time in the stroller.
I think we're done with farms this year!!!

Post Farms!

Fruitridge Farms!

Hello!! Here are pictures from a couple of weekends ago when we went to Fruitridge Farms. The Haartmans asked if we wanted to go with them to a farm near their house, so we thought it would be fun and tagged along. We had just gone to Klackels and didn't have time to pick out pumpkins, so what better place to get pumpkins. HAHAHA, we didn't have time to pick out pumpkins there either!! The kids had way too much fun feeding the animals and riding the rides. Kennidee LOVED riding the horse. We paid for three tickets and she just had to ride the horse twice. She cried when she got off the first time b/c she wanted to get right back on. We convinced her to ride in the pig ride with Conner and she seemed to like that too. The kids had so much fun and they were both hungry for donuts after all the running around. Landon and Morgan enjoyed the farm too....next year they'll enjoy it even more. Thanks for a fun time Haartmans!!
