Fall Fun

Today was a very happy day! It's one of those days that mommy is sitting here at night, smiling as she reflects back at the day. Sweet moments, smiles, and fun with friends and family.

Today Auntie Sharon came up to Fort with cousin Drew and we went to
Busy Barn Adveture Farms.

Let me just tell you......AWESOME!
So so SO much fun.

Here are the pics to capture some of the day...

This first pic of Drew captures the joy of the day!

It was so overwhelming at first...we didn't know where to run to first.

Actually, this pic is a little deceiving...
Hannah wasn't keen on the idea of the large group of us running wild...
so she stayed close to Auntie most the morning...

But...she was stylin!
Mommy has to point out this GREAT corduroy garage sale find
(on the way to the farm) today -
it was perfect for a day like today!

Little Wesley got in on the fun too!

Mommy and Auntie Sharon had a tough time pull us away from these tunnel slides.
Who woulda thunk....big piping and a piece of carpet put together
could be so much fun!

I think this was my favorite activity.....I can see how hamsters get hooked! :)

and a great treasure to take home with us...to start our autumn collection!

(can't leave out something for little e-man....
who stayed back to "nap"...with supervision, of course!)

and even a smile out of my little drama-girl by the end of the morning...
a success!

Thanks for coming Drew (and Auntie)!!

quick re-cap....

Here are some pics to "catch you up" on the last month-worth of the Baldry household.

Well, we spared the tantrums, and "lessons" learned and parent/3 y.o. power struggles,
because you take a look at this face and smile and think....
maybe they haven't been so bad!

Elijah has been getting initiated into the group...
joining in on some of the floor-tumbling fun.
(under great supervision, as Hannah still has a way of
endangering her younger brother with her "love")

She looks so innocent, but don't be fooled! A great threat to the wee ones :)

And yet has a soft sweet side that has been surfacing more and more
when she's not "in the wild" (running around with her big brother :)...
what can I say, I have a lot of energy and can't help but to share the excitement!

(but a future tom-boy none the less
even in a dress!)

And little E-man....the smiles and giggles are rolling in!

very tolerant of our endless lovin (and smotherin')

And that's a wrap for tonight! NITE!

great celebrations!

Last weekend we celebrate great grandpa's 90th birthday!

Cousin Holly was able to capture a great group picture!
The WHOLE family together....now that's a rare feat.

Auntie Teresa was able to sneak in some one-on-one Elijah time too

and of course, another opportunity to spend time with cousins

We love you Great Grandpa!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair Days

What is better to a 3 y.o. than a trip the local county fairs?

Animals....

tractors...

rides...

d
i

food...

and games...





as you may have noticed...these were only outings for us big boys. Mommy didn't think chasing Hannah and carrying Elijah around the fair would be quite as enjoyable...so it was just something special us "big kids" got to do! I have a lot of fun with cousin Drew, including a fun sleepover we had this summer too.
