Frisbee and Basketball

Kyler and Ben enjoyed a fun frisbee game outside... Kyler amazes me with his athletic ability. He was doing a good job of catching and throwing the frisbee.

After their game Kyler wanted me to make a video of him playing basketball:

Cows-N-Corn

We spent the day at a local farm where we got to pet some animals, go through a corn maze, play on a cool tractor and train play ground, play in corn, and even make butter. The kids had a lot of fun.

Ben took this video of Meggie playing in the pumpkins:

Soccer and Kyler's Birthday

Bradley had his last soccer game and at the end they all got medals. He was excited that it had his name on it and everything.

On Kyler's actual birthday he wanted to make Batman cupcakes. He love to help me cook things and he enjoyed putting all of the stuff in the bowl and mixing it up. He also really enjoyed putting in the food coloring... he decided to make them purple and to put sprinkles so that they would look cool. I think he favorite part was eating the extra batter after we filled the cupcake pan... but he did share with Bradley. He thought Ben's rendition of Happy Birthday was hilarious but we had to sing fast because Meggie did not like having to look at the cupcakes without having one to eat... as you can see she was trying anything to get to them.

Kyler's Birthday Party #1

Kyler wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday and have a cookie cake... so that's what we did. We went on Friday so that it wouldn't be as crowded and the kids had fun playing tons of games and eating pizza and cookie cake. Even Meggie won some tickets!

The "Chuckie Machine" was a huge hit... Kyler though that was awesome. Here is a video of him trying to grab tickets inside the machine.

Dinner Table

We had our little table in the playroom so the kids could use it for crafts or play dough, but we realized it wasn't being used very often so we brought it upstairs. Meggie loves to stand in her high chair so we decided to have lunch at the little table and see how she did. She sat the whole meal and didn't try to stand up once... imagine that!

We also took this video of Ben feeding Meggie dinner. She is such a messy eater that if she has already had her bath we will feed her if it is something messy. She has decided that if we try to give her anything besides the food she wants she will scream her head off. For example if we have corn, potatoes, and beans and she wants a bite of beans she will scream until you offer her beans (even though she likes all of it). She also likes to throw the other food if you try to give them to her. This video was toward the end of dinner, so she is a little upset, but it's still pretty funny. Our little diva...

Meggie Having Dinner

Meggie grabbing a snack at Bradley's soccer game.

Bradley did a good job of running (and not asking to be taken out of the game) this year.

After the game we stopped by the playground... Bradley didn't want to let go of Meggie on the slide even though it was 3 feet long and I was waiting at the bottom to catch her! Ben worries I don't watch the kids well enough... that's because I don't have to with Bradley around!

Apple Orchard

We went to a local apple orchard and picked some apples... the kids had fun and we got some sweet pictures of them.
