More Fall Fun

We went to an apple orchard last weekend and got some cute pics. It was a fun day but very crowded! Here are my cuties...

Fun Fall Day (in 80 degree weather!)

We started out the day at the same pumpkin patch that we've been going to since Kyri and Aubry were born. Now it was Tessa's first time to join in on the fun. We were looking forward to bringing Bryan and Kay's future additions next year, but we found out today that this is the last year that this farm will be selling pumpkins. It's kind of sad that our tradition will have to end after just three short years. But we got some great pictures again this year. I don't know why pumpkins make such great props, but I love fall pictures!

Special thanks to Caty and Kevin Handell for the adorable shirts!!
















My favorite of my two girls together.

And then it was time to be done with pictures!!


Later in the day, we went to a rib party/bonfire at the Grebners. It was a blast, and the weather was perfect! A little more like summer than fall, but I loved being able to sit by the fire in short sleeves! Thanks Sand and Steve for hosting a fun time.

Tessa and Uncle Scott

They had their own table!

Mmmmm...ribs are good!!!

Time for S'mores!





While most of us stayed out by the fire, some went in to watch Mary Poppins.

Aunt Sherry and K.J.

Aubs all snuggled up.

We had a great day, and the weekend has only just begun.
Lots more planned for the next two days. I will post more soon.

This and That from the Past Month

It's been a long time since my last update! During the summer I do weekly or biweekly posts, but during the school year the updates are more like monthly. That's partly because we've been having some relaxing weekends with nothing really blogworthy, and partly because I have been forgetting my camera a lot!



My parents hosted The Knutson Invitational Golf Outing a few weekends ago.
Here is Tessa waiting patiently to go to Nancy's Nursery to play with the other kids.

The big girls loved playing outside while watching for the golfers to go by.

Tessa got to meet Chase (a distant cousin)
Pop and Stephanie entertained the girls


Last weekend I pulled out these adorable boots that I got for Kyri at my baby shower almost three years ago. They were brought all the way from Alaska by some family friends. I was so excited that they fit this year! Kyri got so many compliments in them. She felt very cool. : )

Here are just some random shots of Kyri hosting tea parties with her friends. I love when she goes and plays pretend on her own. The conversations she has are adorable.



And this weekend we had a great time at Charlie's 3rd birthday party. (Unfortunately I forgot my camera! So, these pictures are from my phone. Sorry about the bad quality...)

Can you believe she's 3 already???

Wish this wasn't blurry!

Charlie giving Tess a big kiss!

Here are the three babies playing together.
Gwyneth wanted to show off her belly!

It's hard to get a pic of all three of them because they move so quickly. I love this one, though. Look at Lillian's face as Tessa moves in on her toy! Ha!

And here is Uncle Kyle with cutie pie Gwyneth.
