Busy Busy Busy

We have had a very busy, fun fall!  We traveled to Minneapolis the first weekend of October, then Memo and PaPa came to visit, Aunt Katie got engaged, pumpkin patch time, Boo at the Zoo.  The kids have done amazing and have enjoyed all of the fun activities and mom and dad are TIRED :)  I will let the pictures tell the rest....

So many pumpkins to pick from!!!

Loving Fall

Hard to believe that it is already October!  This year has gone by so quickly and it amazes me each day how big our kiddos are getting.  Benjamin has started using the potty each day at school and at night.  We have several times throughout the day where he stays dry, but we are not quite to the big boy pants just yet.  I must say he has done a pretty good job, but he just gets a little too busy and forgets to tell us. 

Samantha continues to be the laid back one for the most part.  She just comes along wherever we are going and if she is tired she will nap and if not then she will just hang out.  She is rolling both ways and is getting close to sitting up.  The little lady is pretty determined to sit up so that she does not miss any of the actions.  She loves the outdoors, which is great considering we are outside A LOT with Benjamin!

Yesterday Luke and a few buddies went to the Chiefs game, so the kids and myself went to the zoo with one of Benjamin's friend and his mommy!  Benjamin talks about the animals all the time, so it is great to go!  He loved the train ride and the merry-go-round.  Samantha even sneaked in a little ride on the merry-go-round as well!

Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks!
