Future Helicopter Pilots

This weekend the kids went to Eagle Ranch for a pumpkin festival with their dad, while mom was in math class. They were busy bouncing in the bouncy houses when a Flight for Life helicopter circled a few times and landed. The kids were instantly attracted to the helicopter and ran over to check it out. Apparently Davis was so enamored with it, he bypassed the line, scooted to the other side of the helicopter, batted his eyelashes a few times at the pilot, flashed him his famous grin, and got special treatment. He got right in...it was like he had a VIP pass. Lilly thought the helicopter was cool too! Who knows maybe they will be pilots when they grow up! Pretty neat experience for them both.

Happy Birthday Buddy

Can it be possible our Buddy Boy is 10 years old? He looks just like one of the kids, and quite often acts like it! Happy Birthday Buddy...we love you!

A cow says MOO!

Just a few of Davis' many talents: cleaning and animal noises.

Singing in the Tub

Maybe she watches too many princess movies?

All good parties lead to...

a sleep over! Mommy's friends came over for dinner and there were a whole bunch of kids; the Dekanichs, the Pribramskys, and the Places. The mommies had fun hanging out while the kids had fun riding Cheese (the mouse wheely ride) up and down the hall and playing house. Then Lilly's BFF, Quincy, spent the night. It was a good girl's night; although Davis appreciated having Thomas and Joseph Dekanich here to balance things out.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch out at 4 Eagle Ranch, while daddy did his bike race. The best part was picking out pumpkins...there were so many, it was hard to choose. We also got in a wagon ride before it started to rain. A fun fall day!

A Day with Ryder

Today our little buddy Ryder Poole came over for a playdate. Lilly took her responsibilites as being the big helper very seriously. She entertained him, fed him, and made sure that he was well cared for. Davis was a great big helper too. Davis would bring Ryder toys to play with inbetween bites of avocado. Davis would also put Ryder's pacifier back in his mouth during our stroller ride. It was great fun having Ryder Poole hanging out with the Places...can't wait to see him again soon!
