Thanksgiving Point

We promised the kids all of August that we'd take them up to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. So of course on the last $2 Tuesday we finally made it up there.

The kids had a blast taking a pony ride

Bela kept saying "No, moo cow!" when she thought it was getting too close for comfort

These chickens had the longest feathers on their feet

It was a fun family night and even Asher seemed to enjoy getting out.

They Love Him So Much

I cannot set this kid down for even a second before his big brother and sister are running over to be with him. They love this little guy so much!

Boondocks

Brad's company had their summer family party at Boondocks this year. I didn't feel like it was the best place to take a 4 week old, so Bela and I stayed home while Brad and Johnny partied hard.

They ate a fun dinner

Got soaked on the bumper boats

Played some fun games

Raced around on the go-carts

And even braved the "scary guy" on a 3-d movie ride

These two had so much fun and even earned enough tickets to come home with a barrel of monkeys.

Stylish

This sweet girl makes me so happy. I love it when she mixes and matches her jammies, and especially when she adds a fireman hat to pretty much every ensemble.

Love Them

I love these two handsome guys

Check-Up

Our pediatrician wanted to see Asher before his 2 week appointment because of the few complications he'd had, just to make sure everything was still going great. We also scheduled Johnny's 3 year check-up, and Bela's 18 month check-up at the same time. (Yes I'm fully aware she will be 2 soon).

All 3 kids did great! I loved how Johnny set such a good example for Bela so she followed all of the doctor's directions and wasn't scared at all. She needed 3 immunizations, and they brought the needles in at the very end of the appointment. Poor girl did not know what hit her, she cried and cried. Johnny walked over to me and said very seriously, "Mom, I do not think I want what Bela is having." For her bravery, we swung by the McDonald's and got her a cone, and her brother was so sweet in helping to comfort her.

Coming Home

We came home from the hospital today!

Johnny and Bela are so happy their baby brother is home to stay. I'm glad to be home and together as a family again. Here's to the sleepless nights and that constant, "Please don't touch the baby!" that I know are coming. I can't wait!
