Apple Orchard and stuff

Bubbles-check, jets on-check, toys-check, goggles-check! Cannot take a bath unless you look cool doing it!
Woohoo! I may actually be caught up after this post...well, I'll be in the month of October at least. I think I do probably have some pictures on my camera to download. I did a few photos for church this past weekend so I'll have to download soon:) The children's director wanted me to get some photos of the preschool age kiddos for the church website. Plus Caden sang in church so I have those to post too-wait did I say he sang? I meant he stood on stage and looked good. No, he actually did do the movements and sing the words to one of his favorite VBS songs from this summer-Tear the Roof Off. Amy this song is on your mp3 list:)
Colton has been trying his hand at fashion designing. I don't think it's in his future. His latest design is ziploc mittens and socks/boots/shoes. He thinks they are pretty cool and bound to be a hit. They are great if you don't want to buy ice skates also-works wonders sliding on the carpet. If you would like to place an order just gives us a call:)
We had our annual MOPS Fall bake sale in September. I made some yummy caramel crispix and packaged it all pretty because if you are like me it's all in the packaging:) We also had some left over wood and tin pieces from a craft we did so I made up 8 magnetic frames with magnets for the sale.

On to the orchard...this year we went earlier than other years. Last year we had a hard time finding the apples-most were at the top of the trees. This year there were apples aplenty. The boys-and by that I mean Doug also-had a blast filling full 2 bags. Colton could not get enough of the apples as it shows in the picture below.s.

Welcome to my world

I have to post this Caden funny before I get on to finishing up our summer catch up series. Doug brought me home a Sprite and as he was opening it for me said "I'd better take a taste to make sure it's good" and Caden piped up from the table "welcome to my world" Background story: after church we stop by the Retro and grab a coffee/smoothie drink and the boys get a huge cookie and soda. We Doug opens Caden's soda and every time says"I'd better take a taste to see if its good". so I guess I now know what it is like to live in Caden's world.
On to the month of August-yes, I know it's October but still........

We went to the Hamel Rodeo......The boys thought it was okay for awhile but got bored. We did manage to stay to the end by buying some goodies.
We went to Valley Fair with Doug's company. Caden had a blast-too bad he wasn't tall enough to go on all the big rides like he wanted to. Maybe next year.
We had a double birthday party for Colton and Gracie. Both of them had fun opening presents, swimming in the pool and eating yummy food.
We then took Aunt Amy out to the farm and the boys enjoyed so fresh garden veggies. I was surprised they both ate the peas, carrots and potatoes-and liked them. Colton was brave and tried a green onion and liked it so much I caught him eating the whole thing-green part and all.
We also finally got to use our gift certificates from Terri. She gave the boys cards for Build a Bear workshop and they were happy to go in there and use them up. Caden has been in there before. He built a bear for Colton when he was born and he built one for cousin Gracie when she was born. This was Colton's first time but he did everything. They even had enough left on the gift card to outfit the bears.
And just because he always does something too cute...
