Devine Acres Farm

Here are a few more pictures from our Pumpkin Patch experience this morning. They are mostly taken with my new camera, but I need to figure out how to take good pictures in the shade and with shadows. We had a blast though! 















They were all pretty tired by the time we took this picture. We might need to try again :)

Fall Fun

Just a few random pictures over the past few weeks.




Pops showing the kids how it's done!




For several weeks in September we had an unusually large amount of butterflies swarming the city. Like a crazy amount! I loved it, but it also mean we found injured butterflies around that had been hit by cars, etc. Kyler loved holding this one.


Levi's teacher sent me this picture from school. He volunteered to hold the cockroach that the Critter Guy brought in. IIIICCCKKK!



Within two days Levi got a black eye and a smashed finger. He's really becoming a full fledged boy! He ran into a friend at school, head first (both by accident). And put his finger under the shopping cart the next day. OUCH!


Grammy, Katelyn and I went to the Sound of Music at the Majestic Theater and we loved it! We went with Aunt Peggy and a group from our Poth Family as well. Such a fun girly time!



Kyler is officially out of his crib. We converted his crib to a toddler bed and he has done great! Although, we had one morning where he woke up super early, so I put him back to bed and I went back to sleep. When my alarm went off, he came in my room with a bag of pretzels and said Good Morning Mommy! He had also tried dragged a chair into his room and tried to climb up and get the band aids to put on his knee (on a boo boo I couldn't even see) and a few other things had been moved about. Needless to say, he now has a baby gate in front of his door until we can trust him a little more :)


Our MOPS group took another visit to the Fire Station and the boys really enjoyed it.







Levi graduated another Level up at Aquatots. He learned so much, but we're taking a break until the spring time! Love that he can feel more confident in the water.


Welcome to Leville!



This slide makes Lex look small....it's huge!


Lex and I were able to go to a friends Gala for her Non-Profit Organization called Kinetic Kids. She and a friend started the organization 15 years ago and now more than 20,000 special needs kids have been able to play sports, dance, swim, etc. We had a great time and were so impressed!



This is a first....they are usually too chatty to sleep in the same bed.


First tennis lesson. Hot, but they had fun! 



Biking Boy #2





We went to visit Drew at the hospital this past weekend and while I hung out in the room, Mimi and Pops entertained these 3. They had a blast and even got to pet some miniature horses. We were so glad to see Drew and Cindy and pray that he is able to go home soon!


New Camera

For my birthday, Lex got me an awesome new camera. My old camera broke several months ago, so I've only had my iPhone which does not take great pictures. Especially of kids that are constantly moving. I haven't learned a lot about it yet, but even on Auto it takes great pictures. Here are some of my favorites from the past two weeks.









 

These are from today at the Devine Acre Farms....such a fun place!










Hopefully I'll learn more over time and take some really good pics, but I'm pretty happy with how AUTO looks too :)
