A.Hildy (and Nana and Papa) stayed at our house while we were at the wedding and I got this picture from A.Hildy.  Isn't it the best?   

Love my Ruby girl!

wedding fun!

This weekend we headed up to Wisconsin to celebrate cousin Brandon's wedding!  What a fun time!  Every detail was planned and so thoughtful. 

 The girls absolutely LOVED the whole weekend.  Taking everything in.

 

Snuggles in between the wedding at the reception.

 A goodie bag for the girls when they got to the reception.  My girls were the only kiddos there besides the ring bearer and flower girl.

football camping weekend

Little Tykes Pumpkin Patch Weekend!

Notice the girls shirts?  It was also the ND vs. MSU football game.  We tried, but just couldn't cheer enough for a victory.  Good thing we had lots of fun activities to keep us from thinking about the loss.  First up picking pumpkins.

 Then on to ceramics.

 

 

 And then trick-or-treating.  Pocahontas, Cinderella, and a ladybug.  Even Ruby dressed up as a pumpkin.  She loved it...can't you tell?  ; )

 We met up with Yogi while trick-or-treating.

 

 

 Then it was off to mining.  The girls are LOVING it this year.  Asking to go every time we go to Yogi's.

 

 

 

 

Chad likes it just as much as the girls, I think. 

 And then it's back to the camper to sort through all their finds.

Notice Addy's feet?  That's a true camper right there...dirty feet and all.

Reese came home from pre-school with this sticker for knowing her phone number!  Go Reese!!

pre-school

Well, my baby girl is off to school now.  Pre-school.  3 days a week.  Hard to believe.   

 (It was a bit chilly out and she wasn't feeling pictures....)

 But, she wanted me to get a picture of her backpack that she picked out. Love.

 Half-teary eyed forced smile....love her anyways.  : )

 There, if I hug myself I'm a bit happier (warmer).

 School is off to a great start.  She already had a turn to be the helper and was happy to take in the snack along with her favorite book for Miss Judy to read to the class. 

 

Sister love.

 Inside, and all is warm again.  :)

And while I was waiting for blogger to upload these picture I took a look back at Presley's first year in pre-school, her second year and Addison's year.  Crazy how these little girls have grown up.  Tear...

grandparents day

The girls were lucky enough to have their grandparents come to school and visit with them in their new classrooms again this year for Grandparents Day.  A.Cindy went to stay with the daycare kiddos so Mawmaw and Pawpaw could come this year.

 And Nana came down by herself. Papa was busy working on the farm, but we know he would've liked to visit as well.

Thanks so much for loving these girls!!!  They sure have the BEST grandparents around!!!
Last year...and two years ago!
