Apple orchard and family fun

Aaron, Maggie, Brett, and Claire enjoy some time at the apple orchard over the weekend!

Maggie loved the apple cider- the face was b/c the sun was in her eyes!!

Notice- Brett only has one (loose) top tooth- so he had to eat the apple off to the side!!

We took some family pics for mom and dad's christmas card....
they turned out well considering all the kids!!

Amy Lynn and Maggie Lynn :)

Halloween party time at my friend from work, Nicole's house. Play time, snacktime, haunted forest time, and smores...what a great party :)

Pumpkin painting 10-10-10

The Maehl's came over for some pumpkin painting fun this Sunday.
Here are the kids with their finished products!

Claire works away! Even though we talked about not mixing colors and using one brush for each color, Claire just couldn't help herself! Much to Brett's dismay!!

Brett concentrates on his masterpiece pumpkin! He even painted the stem :)

The Maehl girls (Brody was under the table!) hard at work!

Two teeth in One day!

Brett lost two teeth on October 4th. 1 at school and 1 at Shelly's house (daycare).

He was all sorts of excited...especially when the tooth fairy left him a
total of $3.30 in bills and change. He thought he was rich!

Go Dodgers!

Me and the kids dressed in our red and black gear for Fort Dodge's homecoming! October 1st, 2010
