Norah Turns One!

Norah had a super fun First Birthday party on Saturday. It was so cute how she knew that she was the center of attention for the day!
This is the rocking chair that Grandma Ellen painted for Norah. She LOVES to climb into it herself and rock...it puts the biggest smile on her face!
Norah was mesmerized by the candles and all the singing!
And she loved the special cake made just for her!
Yummmmmmm...

Andrew's 3rd Birthday Party!

Andrew has his 3rd Birthday Party on Sunday. He had a "Cars" birthday party theme and really loved it!


Andrew really loved all of the gifts he received...thanks everyone!
Norah and Adelyn got a little bored with all the gift opening, so they made a little fun of their own. It looks like Addie was using all of her muscles to push Norah!!

Happy Halloween

Norah the Monkey and Andrew the Lion. You should have hear his ROAR!!!
Daddy went as a zoo keeper to make sure the animals didn't escape!
Andrew had a great time trick or treating this year!

Afternoon at the Apple Orchard

Everyone had a great time on our annual trip to Afton Apple. Andrew loved the pumpkins!
How cute is this chunky baby and her little nubby teeth?
Andrew was showing Norah this tiny pumpkin he found. She is always totally engrossed in what her big brother is doing so she thought this was awesome.
Adelyn Wietecki and her parents, Sarah & Dave, joined us for the fun afternoon. Addie and Norah were only born 10 days apart!
Apples are yummy!

The Hatlen's Visit

Our niece Libby celebrated her 1st Birthday while Brian and Beth were in town. She loved the cake!
The girls took a fun trip to the apple orchard...
Look at the crazy October snow we had!

Warming up with a cup of hot cocoa!
