5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate....

The 5 of us had a great time carving pumpkins last night!!!  I love this time of the year with the kids - it is all so exciting.....  

Cousin Fun in Philadelphia!!!

We had such a nice visit with family in Philadelphia this past weekend.  It's always so nice to see everyone and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins!!!  The kids all have such different little personalities - I am so happy and thankful that we are able to see each other as often as we do despite living across country.  It's just so important right now because they change so fast.  I'm still not over how big Keegan is already.  We were able to celebrate Dillan's 3rd Birthday and be a part of Little Keegan's special Baptismal day.  We are looking forward to seeing the family again in a few weeks at Nani & Poppi's house for Thanksgiving!

Philly - Here we come!!!!

The kids and I are headed to Philadelphia tomorrow morning to celebrate little Keegan Patrick's Baptism.  Dillan also had her 3rd birthday this past week - so we get to party with her as well!!!!  We are so excited for some COUSIN TIME!!!!

A Beautiful Fall

We spent the weekend enjoying wonderful weather and this beautiful Fall we are having.... 

 I love this time of the year ~ It's my favorite!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

The 5 of us had such a nice time at the pumpkin patch this year.  We have been going to the same farm every year since Grace was a baby.  It's the cutest little place where "u-pick-em".  They also have a little petting farm, a big hay maze, and really tasty treats.  I always love this day with the kids ~ It is so fun to watch them find the perfect pumpkin! This year, the girls each wanted the biggest pumpkin they could find and Jack was really happy with a pumpkin he could carry himself.  (I will post pictures after we carve them later this month)   

Millie the 6 year old Dog

Our Millie Dog turned 6 this weekend......  We hope to celebrate with Millie for a long time!!!

She really is one of the BEST dogs in the world - - - - - - - - - - -

A Successful Slumber Party!!!!

We had a great little slumber party on Friday night to celebrate Gracie's 7th Birthday with all of her little friends.  It was actually a really fun night getting to know everyone's personalities. We had a total of 9 little girls, including Grace & Norah.  We played lots of games, ordered pizza, ate cake, and ended the night with popcorn and a movie.  Everyone was asleep by 10:45. 

(I think that's pretty good)  At 3 in the morning, I woke up to some basement noise.  I walked downstairs to find Gracie and one of her best little friends playing dolls.  I explained to them that it was the middle of the night.  It was very funny though as they defended themselves by saying they didn't know what time it was.  I had also told them that the first ones awake should be courteous to the other people sleeping and quietly go downstairs to play. (I then had to explain that I didn't mean the middle of the night)  Luckily, they both fell back asleep until everyone woke up around 6:30.  Gracie had such a blast but was super exhausted for days.....

Our BIG 7 Year Old!!!!!

It's so hard to believe that my first little baby is 7 years old today.......  After a great little birthday morning at home, she gets to celebrate her special day with her friends at school.  This evening, we are having 7 of her little girl-friends over for a slumber party  (wish me luck with that.....)  HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY GRACE KATHRYN!!!!!!!
