Pumpkin Patch!

We took our annual trip to Tweites pumpkin patch last weekend and luckily we did because it was beautiful out and this weekend is FREEZING!  We can even see snow flakes falling in between the rain that is pouring down right now!  We are not ready for snow yet!   The girls had a lot of fun and LOVED going down the big huge slides all by themselves this year.  They picked out their pumpkins and are all ready to carve them for halloween!

 Hay ride!
 



 Out to the pumpkin patch they go!

Happy 5th Birthday Livy Lu!

I just can't believe we have a 5 year old in the house!  It does not seem right!  Every time I look at these pictures, I just think, wow, she looks so grown up!  She is loving preschool and learning so much already there.  It's hard to believe she will be in kindergarten next year!  We had a fun and busy day for her birthday.  We had her favorite.....donuts....for breakfast, opened presents, had her first day of sunday school, and then we went to Chuck E Cheese with Grandma and Grandpa Stenzel who were visiting for the weekend.  Happy Birthday to our big 5 year old!

Livy's 5th Birthday Party!

Well Olivia sure had fun at her birthday party!  She wanted an Ariel "The Little Mermaid" party and got to invite some friends which she was pretty excited for too this year.  Here are some pictures from her party.   Thanks to everyone that was able to come and celebrate with her!
