Apple Picking at Kimmel Orchard Sept 2009

What a wonderful day in Nebraska City!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!! Oh kids you are so precious!!!

You are so clever!! She thought this was so hilarious! She kept calling my name..."
"mommy mommy look what I can do!!" I turned around and laughed and snapped a picture of her silly moment!

What can I say...ADORABLE!!!

You are so beautiful my girl...what pretty flowers... always finding such pretty and cheerful things!

What did you find little man? BUGS MOM...WHAT ELSE!!!

Love this picture of Hailey!! What a poser!!!

Another Beauty Kaitlynn!! Yummy!!

Oh my sweet boy!! Good apple little man!!

Kaitlynn was very particular with the apples that she picked...they had to be the one that she wanted and had to be very pretty and without any markings...Much like her Daddy, she was very selective with her choice and picked some of the BEST apples!

Oh yes, I had fun too!! Reminds me of the days picking apples with my Mom and Aunt Lorrie!! Wonderful memories!! Wish we could pick again together...someday?

Love this one of Hailey!! This is the first one she picked and was so over joyed with being able to pick apples off the tree! Reminds me of when I was at Mike grandparents house and I picked Lemons for the first time!! I too had this look of joy on my face...wonder where she gets if from!!!

Mikey loved being lifted up high to get the apples!! He makes quite the apple picker because he would grab more than one at a time! I love this picture of my BOYS!!!

Hailey LOVED to pick apples...All the kids did!! They were so excited! We should have bought more bags...we would have had apples for months!

There are moments that they are so sweet to each other!!! I have proof!!! LOL!!!


Kaitlynn was so excited to see that she could get a dolphin on her face!! She loved the sparkles and when it was time to wash her dolphin off, she cried so hard thinking that she would never see her "special dolphin again"!!! It was quite the emotional moment for her. We told her she would see her dolphin anytime because we would print a picture just for her to have! That seemed to fix the problem!! Our little sensitive one!! ;)

Hailey loved getting her face painted!! She picked a rainbow which I think suites her perfectly because she is such a joy and wonder! Much like Cheer Bear she can brighten any room with her smile and when she laughs and gives hugs its the best feeling ever!! That's our little energy child, Hailey!!!

Sorry Babes...Your too hot to not put on here!!!

Love you honey!!!

My girls!!

Boy's will be Boy's

Mikey was so silly!! Playing with his fishies and doing goofy things with his sisters cup!! He loved messing with the lawn mower and anything "man tools" he could get his hands on. He was all over the place and it was great to just let him roam a bit!! ALL BOY!! Just like his Daddy! Silly BOY!!!

Where do I begin???

I can't tell you how wonderful it felt to ride again! I have missed it so much! My heart was beating so fast and when Dodger (the dark brown horse) wanted to take off when the field opened up...so did I!!! Of course I restrained myself, but that feeling burned inside me! I could ride every day. It was a wonderful day. The kids had so much fun, we ate great food and played really hard and had great conversation with friends (most newly met). It was a very very great day!!!

Just Horsen Around!!!

My good friend Deb with Kaitlynn who was all smiles!! She let Deb know that she would love to go faster the whole ride!! LOL!!! Mikey was full of smiles and horse sounds and Woah and yeeehaaa!!! They all had a blast!!!


The kids were so thrilled to ride the horses! Mikey finally rode!! He didn't want anything to do with them last fall when we took the kids to ride a pony on Kaitlynn's birthday...he couldn't get enough of being around them!

He is so FEARLESS!!!

Such a little poser!!! She has two gumballs in her mouth and a Cool Aid smile....priceless!!!

What a fun DAY!!!

Hailey just loved to pet this old cat!! As you can tell, I don't think that cat minded either...aaaaaachhhheeewwwwww for me!!!


Hmmmm....I wonder which picture shows the after a swig of Daddy's Dr Pepper....

This is the only really good picture I have of Kailtynn's class. I will have to check with the other Moms.

This is after the recital. Daddy bought them each some flowers and they were so excited to have something special of their own! They also received a certificate from their dance teachers and we took them out to Red Robin for dinner! It was a fun evening! I had so much fun doing their hair and getting them ready! The girls were very excited to wear some of "Mommy's Make Up". We couldn't be more proud! We recorded them and hope to get them sent out to the grandparents soon!!

I finally got some shots of Hailey by herself! It took some coaxing, but she got into it! What a doll!

Dance Recital May 2009

Kaitlynn is a very good dancer. This is her second year and she has really become quite good for her age. We have been told on numerous occasion that she is shown something once and she can do it! I love to watch her dance and see the joy in her face when dancing. They danced to Can't wait to be King (from the Lion King) and Me and My Teddy. Adorable!!

Dance Recital May 2009

This is Hailey's class and best friend Leah. They danced to Yankie Doodle and Lets Get Together. This is Hailey's first dance class and recital. They did a great job for 3 year olds! Too cute for words too!!
