5th Anniversary

We celebrated our 5th anniversary with a getaway weekend a couple hours from home and left the kids with mimi and pappy. We took a 10 mile bike ride and went for a horseback ride. Both were lots of fun!

we had the back of the train all to ourselves...probably because it was rather chilly out we were the only nuts that wanted to sit in the open air car.

Brothers, what could be better?

The boys having a great time playing with each other

my new favorite picture, this one is getting framed!

I think next year we'll just make a dirt pile and skip the garden, I think it would get more use!

when daddy works late....

we go on treasure hunts to collect sticks, leaves, acorns, stones and anything else that catches our eyes.

Fall has come so it's family photo time!

We visited a local historic barn with some friends of ours and took family photos, the boys did a wonderful job and were very cooperative!

The energier requested a picture with me, how sweet is he :)

Looking for some pigs, although there really weren't any it's the only way I could get them to all look in there... we just got a great picture out of it

We took the boys and cousin T to a train event in our area, they had a wonderful time. They got to take several train rides and loved every one of them.
