Happy 🎃 Halloween!

Here's a pic from Trick-or-Treating tonight! Emmy is Princess Elena from Avalor and Luke is a Bulldog!! Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!

Brown County

Over Fall Break this year we made a last minute decision to head down to Brown County and were surprisingly able to book a night at the park in a little cabin. It was perfect, right next to the Lodge. The kids had so much fun exploring on the trails and playing at the indoor water park. We were all exhausted that night. Except for Luke...he thought it was pretty neat that we all were in the same room for bedtime. And when we said goodnight he would giggle and say, "ni night" which was so cute.....but the sweet boy just kept saying it! Every time it got quiet we'd hear his little "ni night" and then his infectious laugh. (Emmy thought this little game was quite hilarious too which just made Luke do it even more.) And then on our way home we stopped in Columbus for the kids to play at the Children's Museum and indoor play ground. It was such a quick weekend but we had an absolutely wonderful, much needed, enjoyable time together. On our way home Emmy summed it up best when said from the backseat, "Brown County is my new favorite state!" Ha! We couldn't agree more sweet girl!! ❤

So precious....

Emmy was so proud of the walking stick Josh found for her, we were calling her Trailblazer Emmy as she lead the way for us :)

Emmy still loves holding up her signature "I'm a whole hand!"

They both loved walking the trails...and so did we!

It cracks us up that Luke has his tongue out all the time!

The museum was great!

There's that tongue again!

Emmy thought the toilet bowl slide was hilarious!

A few more of our favorite pics from our special weekend away.....

Special day w/ Ashlynne

When we asked Emmy if she wanted a "Friends" birthday party she thought for awhile and then asked if she could have a special day with Ashlynne instead. :) So sweet! Emmy planned the day and they had so much fun! We went to the Children's Museum, had pizza, played dress up, and then Ashlynne got to spend the night too. It was the first time Emmy had ever had a friend spend the night, other than family. The girls were SO excited and had a ball together! I have a feeling these two just might be forever friends. Here are a few pictures of their special day together!

Zoo Boo 2017

Now that Luke is on the mend we were able to meet Melvin, Lacy and the boys for our annual trip to Zoo Boo. It had been raining all morning so Emmy (or maybe it was me!) decided she should wear last year's costume so she wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet/dirty. So she was Princess Sofia and Luke was a Bulldog, of course that made Daddy proud :) Grayson was a Star Wars character and Oliver was Captain Hook! So stinkin' cute! Thank you Plowmans for another fun family outing!!

Quarantined.....Again!!!!

A little over 3yrs ago we were quarantined to the house because Emmy had picked up Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. Well.....fast forward to this week and now poor Luke has it! He thankfully has a very mild case so far, and hopefully it will stay that way! Here are a few pics of him....(and her from 2014!) It's a little hard to tell in the pictures but he has spots around his mouth, lips, under his nose, a few on his ears, his fingers, hands, arms, a few on his legs and then a lot around his diaper area, poor little guy! But check out those cheesy grins, on both of them, despite the pain!!!! :)

As soon as he saw the camera he gave me his biggest smile!!

This one cracks me up, such a little ham!!

Emmy Jane with HFM @ 21 months, still wanting to play dress up ;)

Emmy + Pre-K :)

Emmy's teacher recently sent out a few class pictures from these first 2 months of school (I can't believe it's been 2 months already!) The pics are super cute, and I absolutely love getting an inside look on what she's experiencing at school! Because apparently they had a special guest bring animals in one day, which she never told us about! Haha We also especially liked the ones where the class was learning all about apples and was doing a taste test between apple butter vs. apple jelly....Emmy's face is hilarious! Needless to say, she was not a fan of the apple butter!
