Applesauce weekend

Last weekend we had our annual applesauce making weekend with Mark's family. Once again, it was great apple picking weather, and we now have yummy applesauce for the next year.

Here is Hayden learning to play "War" with Grandma

Ready for apple picking!

The apple pickers

Having fun in the wheelbarrow

There were lots of dandelions, so when the kids were worn out with apples, they stayed busy blowing dandelion seeds :)

It took Lilly a little longer to learn how to blow the flower, but once she ate a mouthful, she quickly figured out how to do it the correct way!

Our littlest apple picker!

MMMMMM!!

After apple picking, we went to another farm to find some pumpkins

Hayden was proud to find a white one. He says he's going to carve it into a ghost!

Where's Lilly?

Sitting on the hay bale maze waiting for the punkin' chunkin'

At the pumpkin farm, they had a pumpkin cannon. Here it is shooting out a pumpkin! The pumpkin went REALLY high in the air and landed 1/4 of a mile away!! It was fun to watch

Once we made it back home, it was time for some applesauce making!! Hayden was the #1 "helper". He wanted to know about each step of making applesauce.

Taking a break opening some fun presents from Auntie Colleen and Uncle Ryan

It was a fun weekend. We have been enjoying our applesauce!!

Misc. pictures from the last week

1st time in the swing. Lilly and Hayden love to push the buttons to get it started and are learning to swing "gently"!!

My 3 boys :)

Momo came for a visit last week to get in some baby time. She didn't get much "lap time" with Caleb since Lilly loves holding him!

Sweet picture. I think they love him!!

Big Brother

Hospital and Coming Home

Finally getting caught up with posting ALL the pictures we have taken in the last week. I can't believe Caleb is already 5 days old today! It seemed so long waiting for him and now he is finally here.

Here is the last picture of my pregnant belly ready to go to the hospital!

One last picture of our family of 4. Couldn't really get a good one...oh-well!

Sweet Caleb

Nice and peaceful!

Coming home! The kids couldn't wait to see him and were excited that Caleb was finally getting to come home to them! You can just see how Lilly wants to squeeze him! They love their little brother!

1st time in the car seat. They always look so little!

Pretending with all the baby things. Sleepy babies :)

Having fun with the things we brought home from the hospital

Getting to hold Caleb is always fun!

Hayden loves it when Caleb "holds" his hand

Lilly likes to hold Caleb's hand too, but it's a little different idea :)

1st bath with good helpers!

Fresh and smelling sweet!
