Apple Picking

I enjoy apple picking each year with my family and friends. I love the fall colors, pumpkin donuts, tart apples and of course the fact that it only takes fifteen minutes to fill a bushel of apples. This year Michelle and I took a total of seven kids apple picking and as usual it was a blast..(next week is pumpkin picking)

Ashlynn's cartwheels

Cartwheels, Cartwheels and more Cartwheels

This fall Cahill has been doing gymnastics at the YMCA with some of her friends. This is absolutely her favorite part of each week. But each week she struggles with doing cartwheels. A friend of mine mentioned having her watch the McKenna Gymnastics movie on Netflix. Well after watching the movie all we do is practice cartwheels everywhere. This week at gymnastics I saw her do a almost perfect cartwheel. (I am not sure who was more excited Cahill or I)

Suprise Birthday

This year for my dad's Birthday, his girlfriend rented a house in Boyne Mountain and paid for all of us to come and suprise my dad. Justin even flew in to stay the weekend. My dad's reaction was priceless and he was a very happy and thankful man. My girls loved spending time getting to know Uncle Justin and snuggling with him. Of course Kurt and dad loved the golf course and the kids and I enjoyed the waterpark.

Little ballerina and Science Experiments

Okay I admit it, we have way too much at my house. This year at co-op Cahilll is taking a ballet class and a hands on science class and among a few more. We decided this week to bring our experiment to Ashlynn and she loved it also..

Swinging

A couple of weeks ago Ashy finally figured out how to pump all by herself. It was so cute to see how both Cahill and Ashlynn were excited about this new accomplishment.

Beautiful Weather

September for the most part has been a beautiful month for us in Traverse City. So the girls decided to do a little sunbathing in between their hard life of playing and schooling..

Tired Baby - Being three is really hard

Piano Playing with Friends

Cahill started to piano practice this school year (thanks to some nice Birthday presents!!!). She has been doing very well and enjoys practicing about half of the time. Today she decided that gopher would watch her play.
