Disney on Ice and more...

We have continued to stay busy with all of our fall activities. We had a fun weekend last weekend when Kaylie and I got to have a "girls night out" and go see Disney on Ice with one of her friends and his mom. It was so fun to get to spend time with just Kaylie while Landon was getting one on one play time with Grandma (daddy got a night out in Chicago with some friends). We had a lot of fun and Kaylie really enjoyed the show. I went to these shows when I was little so I was excited to take Kaylie and see her excitement.




We passed up the cotton candy but did allow them to get flavored ice.


Landon continues to love to stand up and walk around. I have become Landon's personal walker. We make several laps around the house and yard daily. I discovered 2new teeth that came in today that I didn't even know he was getting. He got his bottom 2 teeth when he was 5 months and has not gotten any new ones until this month the poor kids has gotten 6 new teeth in the last few weeks! He is a trooper! He now has 8 teeth!

Here are a few pictures of our monkey's before bedtime. Landon enjoys pulling himself up to the railing and jumping and of course Kaylie loves to jump along with him.



The kids enjoy being outside, although it is getting a little cold these days. Kaylie loves riding her bike and Landon enjoys "driving his car."



Last night I raked our leaves for Kaylie to jump in. As you can see we don't have very many leaves but she still thought it was a lot of fun.

Fall is here...

I hope everyone is enjoying fall and this beautiful weather, although it's a little chilly for me. We are excited to do some fun fall activities over the next few weeks which includes, going to a pumpkin patch, apple orchard, and trick-or-treating at the zoo. I will have pictures when we make each trip. Each year since Kaylie was 10 months I sit her on our porch with our fall decorations and take her picture. I enjoy looking back and seeing how much she has changed over the past year. As I took her picture today and looked back at the past few years it made me really sad to see how fast she has grown up and how much she truly does change each year. I see my "baby" not looking like a baby anymore and looking like such a young little girl. Although I love each new stage, when I look back at these pictures, I remember those fun stages as well. I am excited to start this new tradition with Landon as well and watch how much he changes each year. I am not ready for him to grow up either. He had his first fall photo shoot today. Enjoy.

The other big news here is that Landon still has no interest in crawling but loves to walk, so we have been walking all around the house. He wants to hold our hands and walk all day or sometimes when I get tired and he is forced to use the walker he does that as well. So hopefully before long he will be walking on his own. Here is a little video. I think it's so cute when they are learning to walk.
