Blakes Orchard

A few weekends ago we went to Blakes Apple Orchard which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.

Of course we had to eat our fill of apples that we were not charged for... we started off with us helping Emma-Grace eat her apple.
Super model Anna.

Picture break from eating... see what Emma-Grace is doing? That is the sign for eat.

Ken helping Emma-Grace eat.

Anna eating.

Emma-Grace still eating.

Different apple... Emma-Grace still eating.

The ladies... Emma-Grace is bummed that there isn't food in her mouth.

Ken lifting Anna up to get the apples.

Emma-Grace still eating.

We just all came to the conclusion, that Emma-Grace could hold her own apple. She agreed with that plan. Look at how serious she is taking this. Notice the square stance and face expression. Eating is serious business.

Anna's turn to help Daddy reach up high. She is really strong.

Oh, here is a cute picture of Emma-Grace still eating apples.

Emma-Grace eating raspberries.

Emma-Grace eating again.

Pretty girl in the raspberry patch!

Remnants of a doughnut on her face. I didn't grab the camera fast enough to get a picture of the process.

Anna!The ride home... tired.

I Lied - A Few More

Here is just a mish-mash of pics that are quite funny!

Silly PJs and new boots... Anna got new boots too... Do you like her pants? That is what happens when your four year old can go potty by herself...

See food!

Anna and Alice (her doll) wearing matching outfits and taking a nap on the rocking chair in my room.

I haven't talked to Emma-Grace about how horizontal stripes do nothing for the stout girl...

Sister love...

Again with the empty tote... forget Barbie this Christmas...

SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another strange picture of Anna sleeping....

Our parent group turned four in September. We started off with 12 and are down to 8 (not including round two and the first round three kid... not me!)

Ken is going to hate this... but look at this big sack of potatoes! (Emma-Grace not Ken!) She is so big!

More Girl Stuff

Well, its late, so I will leave you with a few cute ones... I will post about our Blakes Orchard trip later!

Ready to go!

Mommy and Anna!So cute. They look so much alike!

Anna still lays out her clothse every day.

Anna is excited to eat her spinach.

Dinner time 'do. Emma-Grace likes to style her hair with an all natural food based hair slime (her dinner).

Strange PJs

My Aunt from Montana sends us clothes from her kids, which we love hand me downs! We received this strange pair of PJs when Anna was little. I think of them as Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka Oompa Loompa inspired PJs. They are so strange... but absolutely hilarious that we put them on both girls and thoroughly documented the event... They are nice PJs by Carters... but so odd... FYI... the girls are the same age in these pictures... 16 months and 14 months... Do you love Anna's hair (which is in barrettes) and Emma-Grace's baldness? I sure do!

Emma-Grace September 2009

Yates Cider Mill

I have not been able to update our blog because our computer has had some serious viruses and spy wares on it that required two visits to the computer doctor. But all is well (at least for now). So hooray! I get to blog again! Here we go.

We went to Yates Cider Mill last week and here are some pictures of our outing and years past outings...

Here is Anna in 2007

Anna in 2008And Anna in 2009
And baby sister in 2009... yes, she was around last year, but she couldn't stand up at the measuring apple.

And just a cute pic of Emma-Grace... yes that is her with two hands on a hamburger with lettuce, pickles and cheese. She doesn't do little pieces.

Loose Ends

Look at this thirteen year old - four year old gossiping with Nana on the phone. Look out, she needs space!

A few nights ago, it was time for bed and Anna told me that she wasn't tired... yeah, right. There were tears involved ans she spent some time sitting at the foot of her bed whinning about how she wasn't tired while I ignored her. Less than 7.5 minutes later, I walked into her room and found her passed out cold like this on her bed:

THen, of course, I had to take a picture of the little bubble butt sleeping three feet away from Anna.

Birthday Wrap Up Pics

Sara took some shots with her fish eye lens.

Bouncer fun.

Emma-Grace - Budda Belly

Of course, fearless, Emma-Grace had to get in on the scooter action... with the helmet! Safety First!
