Favorite Pictures

Not sure if anyone even still looks at this since I haven't posted in so long. We have been going through some old pictures recently and I just had to post these. They are too cute not to show off.

These are the last pictures I'll post of the pumpkin patches. The children from our church met one Saturday at Evan's Orchard for a play day. Ian loved playing on the pumpkins. This is his friend Calah from church who is 2 months younger than he is.

Our MOPS group went to Bi-Water Farms for some fun.

The kids Loved the hayride. Ian was fascinated by the tractor! (He's definitely my son!)

The had several play areas there as well. I loved the look on Abigail's face. Soren must not be a very good driver!

Yee Haw!

More Pumpkin Patch Fun

Yes, Abigail and Ian were there too. Soren was just the more adventurous one that day. Although they all loved this big slide! I don't have any video of Ian sliding down since he was on my lap and I am pretty good at avoiding the camera! He would just laugh all the way down and then get upset when we stopped at the end!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

I have been away from the blogging world for a while. I have a lot of pictures I'd love to post, I just don't seem to have the time to actually download and post them. Oh well, I'm back for now. We have gone to a couple of pumpkin patches these last few weeks. These pictures are from Evan's Orchard. Tim and I couldn't believe that Soren was brave enought to ride the camel all by himself. Abigail was going to ride too until the camel started talking right before she got on.

After the camel experience Abigail wouldn't ride the ponies either.

I am sure that my son loving a John Deere comes as a great surprise to you!

New Bike

My Dad fulfilled a life long dream and bought a Gold Wing motorcycle while we were there. The kids thought that was GREAT!

Tennessee Times

These are some more pictures from our time in TN at the end of July. Things have been a little busy around here for me since our MOPS year started! Abigail and Ian are definitely my water babies! They LOVE the water!! Soren likes the idea of the water more than being in it. He has always been my cautious one.

Oh the Challenges

Oh the challenges of getting 5 people to all look and smile at the same time! Sometimes you just have to take what you can get!

Computers

Soren got this Thomas computer for his second birthday and the kids LOVE it. I think it ranks in the top 3 all time favorite toy! Even Ian loves it! It was definately worth every penny. Even though the mouse no longer works and so you can't play some of the games, it doesn't matter - they Love it anyway!

Lastest Cullinary Adventure

Mmmmm....Doesn't this look good? We bought some blackberries at the Farmer's Market and used them to make a pie. I had never made a blackberry pie before and I must say it turned out quite good. This is actually my second pie (or what was left of it when I remembered to take the picture!

Pictures

We had pictures taken again of all the Richards Grandchildren in July. They have to take a certain number of poses so they got some of my kids by themselves too.

Creative Culinary Skills

Sometimes I impress myself when I come up with something fun like this. However, don't be too impressed since the idea wasn't original! Soren and Abigail think I'm cool anyway and that's what counts!

More Summer Fun

We love being outside in the summer. Sometimes just to play and sometimes so that Mom doesn't have to clean up messes! Abigail sure did enjoy the cupcake!

A Day at the Park

In the beginning of the summer we would go to a park on Friday mornings and play. Soren and Abigail's favorite things to do were the slides. I was much more afraid of them going down the big slide by themselves than they were (especially Abigail who knows no fear!)
