Hunting Camp 2009

Every year Grandpa Jack (Justin's dad) goes hunting/camping for a week.  The past few years Justin & Dailey have joined him over night, but this year we just made it up for an afternoon.  It was a chilly afternoon, but we had a great time!

The little artists

Dailey got this little easel for her birthday & the girls love it!  It is so nice that they can both be using it, but not sitting right next to eachother...that usually leads to crayons being taken & major attitudes by both of our (mostly) sweet girls.

And no, this wasn't Halloween...Skylee just likes to wear her tutu's :)

Dailey's 3rd Birthday

On October 27th Dailey turned 3 & we had a little birthday party for her at our house.  She had a great time carving pumpkins, cracking open the pinata (or fiesta as she calls it!), opening gifts & playing with the kids.  We are so lucky to have so much family that lives close to us & is able to share in special times.

I still have a hard time saying that I have a 3 year old because it doesn't seem possible that she's already 3! She has such a happy, joyful little soul that constantly makes us smile.

Pumpkin patch trips 2009

Here are some of the pictures from our pumpkin patch adventures in October!  As you can see, we had a great time & ended up with lots of pumpkins from each one :)

happy happy birthday!

Tonight Dailey was reading through her birthday cards & I laughed each time she came to this one. Her expressions crack me up!
