Fall Fun

The last few weekends have been filled with Fall Fun! We made a quick stop at the Minnetonka Apple Orchard last weekend to help Vinny celebrate his 1st Birthday. The kids loved the little train ride behind the tractor, especially with Daddy along for the ride.

October 16th was here before we knew it and our little boy was turning 4!! We had a little party on Sunday night with family and a few friends. Ben picked out his cake, a CARS cake was his choice.

Murrays joined our family gathering and Ben was so excited to have his buddy Cullen at the party to help celebrate.

He did not lack love, attention or gifts that day. He cannot tell time yet but still insisted he wanted a watch for his birthday. Grandpa and Grandma across the street came through.

(as a side note this morning he said " we have to go in 5 minutes, that is what my watch says, mom")

Thanks to all who helped celebrate with Ben!

This weekend was also filled with firsts for Olivia. Friday night we moved her into her NEW room and her Big Girl bed. We did family story time, gave her kisses and walked away. She gave me a little sad lip but then we did not hear a peep out of her. She has done great every night since.

She just looks so little in that big bed.

So once the swing set was moved across the fence it needed a few new parts. It now has a new rock wall, ladder that is safe for Olivia and a new slide thanks to Grandpy and Grandma. The kids love it!

Thanks Grandpy and Grandma for our new toys that will provide us years of fun!
