Kiddo Catch Up

So much has happened with my munchkins since my last post.

Ella got a puppy from her Bubba for her Birthday.
She named him Jude and he is DESTRUCTIVE which is driving Brandon mad. 
Oh, and he is HUGE now, so I will post more about the animals later.

Check ups with Dr. Bies and everyone looks great



Took these two girlies to Holiday World and had a blast.

This cutie started sleeping in his bed all night, but only lasted about a month
and we are now back to getting up once in the night.
I can't really complain though, we are usually only up for about 10 minutes
and he's right back to snoozin.

Our Tay Tay spent the summer with us again, and oh how we love her so.
Allie and Brittany even got to make a few guest appearances and help out too.

Ryder hit lots of milestone this summer too. He started sitting well on his own to play,
and he is now crawling army style aroung the living room. When he does occasionally get up on all
fours he just can't quite make those legs go. No worries, I'm in no hurry for him to grow up!

Ella has been working on the farm this summer in her spare time,
when she isn't playing Barbies or making me listen to Selena Gomez songs in the car.

You know the usual, building fence and herding cows.

River fishing with uncle John

Ella is in her second year of Preschool with Mrs. Peggy and Mrs. Brenda.
Next year she will be going to kindergarten.

Ella's new best friend has been Brittany's boyfriend Brannon.
We tell her it isn't nice to pick her friends based on their toys, but she just loves
riding in his combine. But seriously, he is a total sweetheart and we hope
 he makes a permanent place in our family.

This little stinker has started looking more and more
like my Grandpa George every day.

Fall has brought sweatshirts and wagon rides from Grandma Cindy,

and football

and more playing in corn fields

Ella made a very pretty Cinderella, and Ryder a very snuggly dragon.

We dug all of Ella's old baby toys out for Ryder, and he just thinks they are the coolest.
I love watching him giggle over and over at a cow going round in circles.
It's the little things.
