Snow Angel

Snowsuit Sweetie

Jayney had a great time playing in an early November snow! Last year she was too little to play in it but I think she had fun this time, and she stayed nice and warm in a snowsuit from her Great Aunt Lynn! The snowsuit was supposed to fit her last winter based on its 3-6 month tag but I am so glad it seems to run way big because it is just perfect for this winter!

Eating snow...
Brrrr!
Happy with Dad
Making an angel
Trying to crawl
Figured out how to take off her mittens
We think she is the CUTEST!

Halloween With Our Little Bug

We had such a fun Halloween this year with our little lady bug! Jayney visited friends and family members houses to celebrate. For a good part of the JJ was quite happy about wearing her costume getting treats that are probably way too sweet for a baby of her age and taking lots of pictures. However she did have a few outbursts of cranky behavior where she looked a bit more like a stink bug than a lady! ... But I guess that is too be expected and it was still pretty cute! Here take a look for yourself :) Thanks to my mom for taking the pictures!

Our Apologies


We are very sorry about our lack of blog posts lately. Between a hectic harvest, some major computer problems, and the general busyness of life winding down summer and into fall, posting just got pushed off the top of the to-do list. We finally are nearly caught up… maybe not quite 100% up to date but at least respectably behind. For the three people that read our blog, please note we have back dated several of our posts so they reflect a more accurate timeline. If you scroll down ALL the way to the bottom of the page you will see an “older posts.”  To catch up on all our adventures, you will have to click this button several times. Or you can use the “Blog Archive” at the right side near the top of the page. This has all our posts broken down by month. Just keep reading until you get to the fourth of July or you fall asleep, whichever comes first will do in our book. Here is a teaser of the topics I hope to catch up with blog posts in the near future: Fall family pictures, Halloween, 9month update, Lake work, and MUCH more! Thanks for reading we hope to share more often through the winter :)

Erin's Choice!

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! I love the vibrant colors and the cooler temperatures and perhaps the fact that it is the season of my BIRTHDAY! This year I requested breakfast out and a trip to the parks to play in the leaves with Jayney. Well the first stop was at Manito and JJ, who had not been informed of this plan, napped the whole time we walked around. Not to worry, it did not cause a birthday disaster. Really it was good because when we got to Finch she was in a super happy mood which made for some great pictures. Here is a look at our fun day.

Green Bluff Fun

Every year we make a trip up to Green Bluff. This year we made two! The first trip the weather was just amazing! We could not have asked for a more perfect Fall day! Jayney was fascinated by the apples and by the faces she was learning from Grandpa Tim. The second trip was a little colder but still lots of fun and a good excuse for JJ to wear her Halloween tutu!

Swimming Shrimp!

Our little lady took her first swimming lessons this Fall! I use the word lessons rather loosely as it was for babies that cant even walk let alone swim on their own yet. None the less it was a great water exploration and splashing around playtime! We went to classes at the YMCA two days a week for a month. We even had Grandma Kim and Daddy come to watch. On the last week Dusty was actually able to get in and swim too. It was awesome to see Jayney get a little better and more comfortable in the water each lesson.
