Fall Fun!

It has been a great autumn season! Beckett loves raking and playing in the leaves in our front yard.  He also loves riding his trike. One of his favorite things is our nightly family walk where he gets to walk "Boo."  We are not totally convinced that Bean likes it...oh well. Landrie is really close to crawling.  She gets up on her knees and leaps forward.  She also loves to roll everywhere!  She pick up her baby puffs like a champ and loves to wave hello and goodbye! Check out some fun autumn pics below! 

Obligatory first day of school picture!

Landrie and Beckett's first trip to the famous Jordan Candy Barn!  We spent a small fortune of course.  We then headed to the pumpkin patch!  it was Landrie's first trip to the pumpkin patch!  We went with Grammy Gwen, Papa Joel, Auntie Jocelyn, Uncle Chris, cousins Brookie and Charlie, and their Grandma and Grandpa!  


Beckett really debated between the big green one and baby orange one...in the end, the baby orange pumpkin won! 

A happy baby and family photo ops...

Hanging with Grammy & Papa!

SUMMER 2014

We have had an amazing summer!  I can't believe that school starts next week and that we have to return to the work world.  Beckett has grown-up so much this summer.  He is talking like a little man with the cutest little lisp!  He continues to love animals...especially his puppy "Boo" and really loves playing outside.  His favorite place to play is the cabin where he runs off the dock by himself (wearing a life jacket of course) and pops up from underwater like it's no big deal!  We are very impressed by his aquatic abilities!  He also loves to "shump" or jump as the rest of us call it :).  He jumps off furniture, on our bed, on his new big boy bed, on trampolines, in jump houses, etc...jumping really is his favorite thing!  Landrie has celebrated her 3rd, 4th, and 5th months this summer! She was also baptized this summer! At her 4 month check-up she weighed 17 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long.  She loves to babble and she also makes the cutest little growling sound...just like her cousin Quinny! She is rolling everywhere, so we have to be careful where we put her.  She can sit up assisted and is loving solid foods.  She especially likes bananas and sweet potatoes.  She has continued to be an amazing sleeper.  We truly had an action-packed/non-stop fun summer.  Check out some pictures of our summer adventures...

Landrie turned 3 months old on June 4th!

 Landrie loved the bears.  As soon as we got up to the window one of the bears looked right at us and then came super close to the window.  We must have looked like lunch! :) Check out the progression...

Beckett loved the Minnesota Zoo so much that we decided to take him to Safari North which is the brand new zoo right by the cabin.  It was a hit!

 Once again we got a show from the bears.  We must just have a way with bears!
