Melanie's One Month Celebration

We  were all at my parents house on Melanie's one month birthday!

That same weekend we went to Melanie's house for a big family celebration!

Jeanie, Melanie, Po Po and Gung Gung

It was a fun day with lots of family and friends!  Melanie needed some quiet snuggle time :)

Jubilee Farm

The Ladybugs Class met at Jubilee Farm to check out the pumpkin patch and see some animals.

It was a chilly morning and Emi and a few of her friend piled into
Nathan's car to keep warm while we waited for more friends to arrive.

Ready to head to the farm.

Emi is excited to show off the pumpkins {yes her eyes are closed} but I thought it was a cute shot of her.

It's the pigs!  They were fed some apples for breakfast.

Next we took a hayride down to the pumpkin patch...

Emi's trying to decide which pumpkin to pick, maybe this one...

Kenzi 8 Months!

Kenzi is now 8 months old!  She's sweet, easy going and of course growing way too fast!  Kenzi can now clap when we play patty-cake, wave and we think it sounds like she's imitating the words "bye bye," of course she makes a bunch of other cute baby words too.  She's a speedy crawler so she can keep up with her big sis and is pulling herself up on furniture, toys, anything to get a different view.  Kenzi has four teeth, the top ones are just coming in.  She's into eating puffs and most other pureed food, she'd really would love it if we just fed her food off our plates but she's still a little young for that.  We love our little Kenzi Wenz!

Nathan and Emi

Nathan and Emi took a little break in September from their weekly play dates but now we are back at 'em!  Emi and Nathan see each other at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then on Wednesdays and Fridays  Corey and I take turns taking the kiddos for a few hours.

I noticed they played really well today and I'd like to think it's because of school.  I loved hearing the way they were talking to each other and so understanding if they didn't want to play the same thing at the same time.

Time to make our fall trees!

Nathan was doing a great job and seemed much more interested in the project than when we did our summer tree.

Emi was neutral on the project... 

Ta da!

I love these two little munchkins!

Remlinger Farms

One our preschool friends invited us to Remlinger Farms, since Erich was taking this Friday off we were able to go and have Nathan join us too. What a fun place to enjoy with friends! Nathan and Emi had a great morning together along with a few of their buddies from school. We didn't get any pictures with the other kids, there was just too much fun to be had! Thank you Jennifer and Jackson for organizing our trip!

Before we left for the farm we had to squeeze Kenzi's adorable cheeks!

"My turn," says Emi...not quite as fun when your big sister is smooshing your face, haha.

Mommy and her Kenzi bear!

Oh, look over there!

And, look over there...they saw a donkey (I think).

They were still concerned about a stink they smelled about 15min. earlier by the geese.

Hanging out with Daddy on the haystacks.

Lil bear!

Time for jumping!

And  more jumping, they played here for a long time!

Emi loved the soft landing.

Watching Emi and Nathan on the mini ferris wheel.

Up high!

So fun!

Nathan gives this pony a thumbs up!

Woo hoo!

Time for some spinning in the barrels.

Riding the pumpkins, it was funny because we forgot to
tell them to pull up on the handle to make the pumpkin go up.
After some shouting and hand motions they figured it out.

The last ride was the mini roller coaster! 

(Uncle) Erich had to make sure Nathan and Emi put their hands up before the drops.

What a fun morning together!  

Birthday

I had a great birthday this year!  Erich took the day off and we went shopping at Bellevue Square (well I shopped a little and Erich took the kids up to play) then we had a nice little lunch at the Nordstrom cafe (they are so kid friendly).  We had my parents, sisters' and their families over for cake!  It was nice and simple, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!

Auntie Jeanie and Melanie

Auntie Jeanie and Melanie came over to play today. Jeanie is getting the hang of traveling with a little one now that Uncle Marc is back at work. Emi was too busy to take pictures with us today so that's why you don't see her.

Melanie and Mommy

Melanie is trying out Emi and Kenzi's rain forest mat.

It looks like Kenzi is trying to help Melanie with a diaper change.

Checking out Melanie's bum bum cream.

Peek a boo!
