fall

Look at these handsome boys that I get to live with. I love these guys a lot and I'm so lucky that they are here in VA with me to keep me busy and keep me happy. Yesterday was the primary program and Liam and Sean both did a great job saying their parts that they memorized. It was a nice program and it went well.
I love the ties. You might not be able to tell but Adam's shirt is really tight at the neck but he didn't mind bc he loves doing anything that his brothers are doing.

On Sat. we got a Halloween package from Grandma. We're so grateful to those who send us mail. Liam asks every day if he got something. The Krumholz family sent us a package a week ago Sat. so October has been a fun month with packages. The kids just love it!




She sent starbursts, swedish fish, jelly bellies, toys, games, pumpkin keychains, a little something for everyone.
Here we are at the Farm collecting pumpkins and doing all kinds of fun fall festive activities.

We went to the petting farm and my kids were all over chasing the animals and petting them. I thought they were scared of this kind of activity but they loved it. Maybe we should live on a farm.
Here is Adam trying to join the chicken family. I tried to tell him that he already has a family but he really wanted in with the chickens.


We went on a lovely hay ride.
The boys.

A visitor!

Allyssa came to visit us for one whole week. We were so excited and happy that she came and stayed with us. We love it when people come to visit us. This is a picture of Sean and Adam smiling about Allyssa.My wonderful Michael made us breakfast in bed the first morning she was here. Look at this beautiful plate. I'm also secretly married to a professional chef.
Not only did we get bfast in bed we also got two smiley faces welcoming us to morning time.

She got in late Fri night and the next day on Sat we went to the Neptune Festival in VA beach. We were excited to see a parade and a sandcastle competition.



They were throwing out candy and other treats. Liam and Sean were sure to catch many treats.


Here is Adam. He caught a necklace and some suckers.

Always a sign of a good day. Sleeping children are happy children. The boardwalk was filled with lots of booths and fun things to see.
While Allyssa was here we made these delicious cake pops from Bakerilla.com. This treat has become my favorite treat ever. I just made some cute pumpkin ones last night.

Here we are at the zoo. Here in VA we have beautiful trees and flowers. We were very happy that Allyssa could hang out with us all week. She watched my kids while I went to a Pres. mtg and she watched the kids so that Michael and I could go out to dinner by ourselves. The kids loved having her here and she has been in all of Sean's prayers since she left.


This is a buzz lightyear costume that Grandma sent us. Dolores always sends the best stuff. We have an entire library of good books thanks to her. Sean occasionally believes that he is Buzz Lightyear so this costume was perfect. Thanks Grandma.
Adam says cheese now when I take his picture. He's one of the cutest people I know. He's such a happy little person and he's so fun to be around.
