Hannah even got Grandma Miller to smile =)

And last, but not least Daddy's cake for his 36th Birthday.  A couple of candle blower helpers =)

Vala's Pumpkin Patch

It seems that it has become a yearly tradition for Hannah to go to Vala's pumpkin patch the weekend before her birthday.  The Vala family has a large acreage where they yearly grow thousands of pumpkins.  They have some live animals and use a ton of people to help them make a family fun spot every fall.  Here is a quick photo on the train...Eli not so sure as we hadn't started yet.

Rollin' on the Choo-Choo...E couldn't be happier!

Hangin' in his own wooden choo-choo train - hard to get the little man out of there!

The Corn Pit - no fun at all - wink!

Yeah, he's being naughty - throwing corn at people...

Jumping with Caitlin on the trampoline surface...not sure who is having more fun!

Swingin' on the tire...

Ridin' the horse swings...

Hannah on her pony ride.

E on his first pony ride.

Pumpkin trouble...

Micky Mouse with 3 cuties!

A couple more...

Sweet, happy boy...

3 cooperate...1 ghost wouldn't...

Peek-a-BOO!

Just silly...

Grandma, don't you think this is where I belong?

H and Grandma on the tractor ride...

The tractor playground...E lovin' it.  Hannah is mad she didn't think to drive 1st!

That's better.

Sweet girl with a sweet ending to the morning at Vala's!

Pirate Day - 2nd try

Pirate Day at school - more Pippi long-stockings, but the rules were for stripes...

I am diggin' the stockings!

Arggh Matey - Blow the man down!

And a little cheese - unfortunatly, Hannah decided to tell her friend that her
outfit was the best and she didn't want to play with anyone else...
Oh, dear - Miss Becky took away story time and outside time...rough day...
Not sure where she gets the ideas since Curious George, Cat in the Hat, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 
do not contain story lines like that.  We lost some "puff balls" at home so we can use 
nice words with our friends and that it doesn't matter what our friends look like. 
It matters what is in their hearts....
Like I said before - 4 going on 14...

Happy Birthday Hannah!

4 years ago...this baby girl came into our lives and changed them forever...

And here we are 4 years later...similar look, just 4 going on 14...

Our beautiful baby girl.  Still the Hannah - boat.  Still "the Bug" (originating from Cuddle Bug).
Happy Birthday little girl of our dreams!
You bring joy to all you meet and have a smile that melts hearts.
We are so excited to watch you continue to grow.

Our cupcakes - must have ones for the GIRLS and the BOYS...we'll let you guess who got which kind.

And then we have the cupcakes that never made it to school...lots of sparkling icing and sprinkles...licking...you know...whatever...

And every day he loves to line them all up and play.

So proud of the truck and check out those rocking socks!

Joy...

The line up....

Sunday Morning Paper


Sunday mornings...yep the Sunday paper.  Eli loves to sit at the table with
 his daddy and read after breakfast and before church.  
This is his favorite outfit (or lack there of) for the newspaper.  
As you can see, the auto section is one of his favorites.


So many cars to look at, so little time...

Mom...this is serious business!
