happy halloween

Happy Halloween to you from our firefighter and cupcake!

Charlie says, "I'm not in the mood for pictures and I really need a haircut!"

(on a side note, Charlie's costume did come with a red firefighter hat, but with Charlie's 

above average size head, it did not quite fit...)

Trick or Treat

More Birthday Fun

On Adeline's actual birthday, we had a low key morning at home with a yummy breakfast.  We gave Adeline a big girl bike for her birthday, and she took it for a spin in the garage (it was raining outside).  It wasn't so long ago when her legs were too short to ride her tricycle...  We spent the afternoon at the Mall of America riding some rides and having dinner at the Rainforest Cafe with Uncle Chris, Auntie Emily, and cousins.

Now, that is a BIG smile!

 

Adeline's 4th Birthday Party

This was the first year Adeline had an all girl birthday party (with the exception of having daddy and Charlie there). She's 4 years old, and we can hardly believe it!   Since Adeline likes coloring, painting, and all sorts of crafts, we decided to have her party at a local pottery painting shop.   It was the perfect venue, and we had a great afternoon celebrating our little Adeline!

Our birthday girl!

Thank you grammy for making these sweet aprons for all of the girls!

The birthday girl loved spending the afternoon with her friends!

Thank you everyone for celebrating with Adeline!

Anniversary #7

I still think I have the most wonderful husband and Adeline and Charlie have the best daddy... so blessed.

Corn Maze

Yesterday afternoon, we headed to a corn maze that some friends run every year.  The temperature was nearly 80 degrees, and it couldn't have been a better day to be there.  The giant slide was a big hit with Adeline (and Patrick)!  Jensens joined us for the afternoon as well...always sweet memories with good friends.

Adeline not quite "enjoying" the slide on her first time down.  

There's a smile from Addie...

Dads & their girls - I think the dads are having just as much fun!

sweetness...
