Singing Through the Seasons

Tonight the twins were part of a kindergarten concert.  Their class teamed up with another kindergarten class to sing songs about each of the four seasons.  They did a great job, but boy were they tired when it was over!  Performing sure takes a lot out of ya! :)


Here are a couple of the songs they sang. 

I apologize if the picture is shaky...I was videotaping with one hand and trying to keep Raegan from running around with the other.  Haha...  I think she would have ran up on stage if I would have let her.

My babies are 6!!!

"Time sure flies when you have kids".  Well that's what they tell you and you know what...they're not lying!  How it is possible for my babies to have just turned 6, I have no idea!  But what I do know is how precious they are to us!  I am thankful to God for allowing me to be their mom.  

You only turn 6 once, so we invited all of their friends and everyone in their class at school to celebrate the occasion by bouncing and sliding to their hearts content.  If you have never been to Pump It Up, you definitely should go!  All the kids had a great time, and although presents were discouraged on the invitation, the kids made out like bandits!  It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see how many people love my  kids just as much as I do.  Well maybe not quite as much as I do - but close.  :)

They had a great turnout!  Everybody say cheese...

 

Silly face time!!

Trick or Treat

Trick or treating fell on Sunday this year, so we weren't able to trick or treat in our own neighborhood. We went Saturday night with our neighbors, the Mikes', to Susie's mom's neighborhood and boy did we bring in a haul! I didn't get a lot of pictures, but here are a few. :)

Pumpkin Patch

Here are pictures from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Raegan was old enough to really enjoy all the fun activities we did there, however she decided she didn't want to pick out a pumpkin.

Showing off her face painting. She picked a spider!

Brandon picked a pumpkin.

My happy boy!

I thought Raegan would be afraid of the corn, but she loved playing in it. As you can tell, the twins kinda liked it, too.


Petting zoo.

Mommy and Raegan.


Ok, her hair needs fixed, but I thought this was a really pretty picture of Natalie.

The farmers - Natalie & Brandon. Check out who is peeking through the "arm" hole between Natalie & Brandon.

How tall are you, Raegan?

These were too cute not to post.

I love the cheesy grins!

Getting ready for the train ride.

What we have been up to...

Wow! It has been extremely busy around here lately! I'm sorry the posts have been lacking, but hopefully I can catch everyone up. I have taken on a temporary babysitting job and that has kept me quite busy the last couple of weeks. Also, my neighbor and I have taken on the Girl Scout co-leader positions for Natalie's girl scout troop. So let me try to catch you up.....

School Pictures

Here are the kids Kindergarten school pictures. I need to get Raegan's pictures taken...soon! I will try one day next week and I will add them on here for you to see as well.

First Day of Kindergarten!!

Brandon is ready for his first day of school!





Natalie tolerating pictures when what she really wants is to go next door and talk to Laney about getting on the bus for their first day of school.




Here the girls are discussing all the fun stuff they will get to do at school this year!


Raegan felt like she needed a backpack, too. All the big kids were doing it. :-)





The kids posing before the bus comes.


Loading the bus!!



As you can see, the kids were very excited to go to Kindergarten! The kids had a great first day and have been really enjoying school this year.

It has been TOO long!

I know, I know...I have been really BAD with keeping up with the blog this year. There are so many things going on now that the twins are in school that I should have plenty to blog about. I am really going to try to keep you guys updated. I know you enjoy seeing the pictures of the kids. I have a few minutes here before dinner so I am going to post pictures of the kids first day of school. Hopefully I will get more on here VERY VERY soon!! :)
