Here are some pics of our fun winter weekend here in Bel Air. We got around 19 inches of snow and Grayson absolutely loves the snow!! The kids also opened their Christmas gifts and below are some pics from that. What a fun weekend!!

We didn't have a sled so Daddy pulled him in the laundry basket.

Getting ready for some fun in the snow!!

This is the front of our house...you can't really tell but it's pretty deep here. Our front yard has a small hill.

The snow was so deep Grayson had to crawl in it.

The neighbor let us borrow their sled. This is our front yard!

Merry Christmas!

Wanted to do a quick update before we left for our big trip back to Kansas next week. Tonight we went to see Santa at the mall and it was so much fun. The picture turned out so cute!! Unfortunately, I can't post it but we did take some snap shots before we left for the mall and they turned out pretty cute (see below). Merry Christmas to all and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

Kaitlyn is almost sitting up. She has to do it tripod style but she's starting to get the hang of it!

Kaitlyn and Grayson right before we left to see Santa!

I love this picture...I wonder how much longer they'll continue to play so nice together?

Kaitlyn bounced herself to sleep in the jumperoo.

Halloween!

For Halloween we took a road trip to Poquoson, VA (near Virginia Beach) to hang out with Brent and Sherrie for Sherrie's 30th birthday. We had a great time even though Grayson ended up with a fever most of the weekend.

Grayson is sitting in a wheel barrow waiting for Brent to come and push him some more.

Look how sweet I am!!

Spiderman and the Ladybug

Grayson wanted to ride his Spiderman scooter while we trick or treated.

Pumpkin Patch and Carving Pumpkins

Yesterday we headed to the pumpkin patch for some family fun. We rode a little train, did a kiddie maze, played on the playground, and picked out pumpkins. The below pictures are in the opposite order of the how the events happened (sorry, I uploaded them wrong).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

Kaitlyn says this pumpkin tastes good!!!

Say cheese!!!

Grayson picked out a dragon for daddy to carve.

Grayson wasn't really excited about carving the pumpkins and getting his hands messy.

Kaitlyn loves rolling over on her belly and this time she took the blanket with her.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....carrots!!

Kaitlyn rolling around on the floor. She found her feet and loves to grab them.

After sunday school, church, lunch and then the pumpkin patch, Grayson passed out on the couch when we got home. He was so tired, he kind of fell of the couch and didn't wake up!

Grayson picking out the perfect pumpkin!

A friend of ours in Bel Air is trying to start a photography business and asked if she could take pictures of our family for free so she can start her portfolio. Well I wasn't going to say no to free pictures!! They are wonderful pictures and we couldn't have been at a more beautiful place or picked a more beautiful fall day. Below are a few of the shots that she got. Enjoy!!

I'm been getting grief for not updating the blog so here are several pictures taken over the last month. We haven't done a whole lot in the past month, just enjoying what was left of summer. We did make a trip to Richmond a couple of weekends ago to celebrate our Godson Benjamin's 2nd birthday. It was baseball themed and so much fun for us and Grayson.

The above picture was taken about a month ago.

Grayson and Ben at Ben's birthday party.

With some assistance, Grayson broke open the pinata and the boys went to town!!

Here he is breaking open the pinata.

Grayson and I enjoying some snacks at the birthday party!!

Kaitlyn...our future biker chick!!

Here is Grayson flying down the sidewalk on his "super spiderman scooter."

This was taken just this past Sunday after church.

Kaitlyn loves to sit in her bouncy seat in the kitchen and watch mommy make dinner.

Such a happy girl...just taken this evening!!!
