Christmas Creek Tree Farm

We cut our tree from Christmas Creek Farm this year. I think after our 3 years of tree cutting experience, this is the best place we've been to!  This place was great!  We found our tree, cut it down, went on a hay ride and saw Santa!

Gung Gung, Emi and Kenzi

Sisters

**added some posts below...still behind so come back for more updates**

These two have been keeping me busy these days.  Emi has school and swimming twice a week.  Kenzi has Kindermusik once a week.  It's been great getting both Emi and Kenzi into activities this fall.  I'm still behind on blog updates so check back :) Thanks for visiting!

Grandchildren

I love how my parents get to enjoy their grandchildren!  It's fun when we are all together at their house.

Peek a boo!

The gang!

Thanksgiving with Grandpa Greg

Grandpa Greg came over for Thanksgiving dinner {a day before Thanksgiving} we had a yummy dinner and a lot of fun playing with Grandpa Greg. We were having so much fun we didn't take enough pictures together...next time! Thanks for coming over!

Kenzi 9 months

Kenzi is 9 months old!  She is as smiley as ever and races around on her hands and knees to see what everyone is up to.  She can now ring the door bell on the play house, very exciting for Emi!  Kenzi has been growing more teeth, soon she will have 4 teeth on the top and bottom!  She can snack on Joe's O's and she's tried raisins.

Here is Kenzi at her 9 month check up.

Halloween!

Since Emi is in the Ladybugs class she decided she and Kenzi were going to be ladybugs this Halloween!

At the annual Expedia Halloween party.

We went over to see Melanie at Gung Gung and Po Po's house on Halloween...

Emi, "Kenzi can hold this piece."

Melanie the little cupcake, Kenzi and Emi the ladybugs.

Emi and our neighbors who came to trick or treat at our house.

Emi only went to a few houses on our street but she had a fun time walking around in her costume and checking our neighbors' Halloween decorations.

Happy Halloween!

Emi is already telling me ideas she has for next year's costumes...maybe a carseat, maybe a bee or butterfly...we shall see!

Swimming

We got Emi back into swimming!  The first session was hard, she fell in the first day of her first session, and there was a lesson in every lane of the pool so it was very loud.  This is Emi in her new session at the Boehm's Pool in Issaquah.  She is doing much better with the morning class with less distractions and noise.  We miss taking her to Kinderswimmer but she's getting used to the water again and she is making progress!

Kick, kick, kick!

Floating like a pancake

Time to get out.

My Little Mommy

Emi is always trying to do this just like mommy...today she decided to put on the ol' hooter hider and pretend to nurse her little baby...sigh...

Pre-Halloween Fun!

We invited Emi and Nathan's friend Bella from school to play on Friday. Their class did not dress up for Halloween so I thought it would be fun for them to all come over in their costumes. It was so cute to see them playing in their costumes. Bella was dressed as a garden gnome, Nathan as a shark, and Emi as a ladybug.

Playing in the play house!

Dancing together!

Group hug!

Emi, "I really like Bella!"

Fox Hollow Farm

We met up with friends at Fox Hollow Farm.  Emi still does not like the smells of a farm...as you can see below she is always covering up her nose around the animals and telling me, "it's stinky!"

At the farm we saw a herd of sheep...

We heard some loud geese...

Waited patiently with our friends {Auntie Amabelle and Tyler} to ride the pony...

I was surprised and happy that Emi was brave enough to ride the pony, she waited until all her friends went first.  And then she didn't want me to walk around with her, instead she wanted Auntie Anne to help her :)

It was a very fun afternoon at Fox Hollow Farm!
