Elegant Famer

On Saturday we headed to the elegant farmer with Tony, 

Abby and Baby Katy.  We took a hayride out

to the apple orchard and picked all of our apples right

off the tree!  They told us to taste as many as we would

like along the way.  Owen must have eaten 3-4 apples!

This will definitely have to be a tradition for the years

to come.

Eberts Greenhouse

This is our second year going to Eberts to

have some fall fun.  They have so many fun 

things for kids to do and see. This year Owen

could participate in most of them. It was a beautiful

fall day!

                                                                               a blast

                                                                    A box of corn to jump in

Betsy Pictures!

We had our picture taken again this year

by a friend of Courtney's, Betsy Delzer.  She does an 

amazing job!!  We especially wanted to have 

some pictures taken near the train tracks as 

Owen truly loves trains these days. She captured

it all and more!  I couldn't pick just a few 

to post, so here are several! 

"So Big"

"Show Betsy Your Muscles"

"Choo Choo"

Happy 1st Birthday, Beckett!

On Sunday we celebrate Baby Beckett's 1st Birthday.

Owen had so much fun running around with his cousins

and playing with all there toys! Beckett was such

a smiley guy all day and really LOVED his cake!

He had no hesitation before he dove in and ate the

whole thing!!! I was busy taking these pictures

with Courtney's camera so I had to steal some from

her blog.

Cake face!

Owen and Beckett chatting over the grill

First time hitting a pinata

He talked Grandma into opening some candy

Choo Choo Pancake (at least that's what I tried

to make :))

Our neighbors (and Owen's babysitter) gave us

this truck because their kids are too old for it.

It was one of Owen's favorite things at her house.

Now we are practicing driving and turning the

wheel before he runs into things.

More Choo Choo

Owen and I went to visit my parents

while Jordan was in training for work.

My Dad took the morning off and we

headed to Geneva train station to catch

a commuter train in action. Not only did

we see the commuter, but we saw 2 freight

trains!!! What a bonus!
