Fall Fun!

Corbin loves digging in the garden and looking for bugs in the rotted produce left over from picking them too early!

Brody is growing up quickly-don't ya know he's been almost 7 for 9 months and his birthday isn't until December!

Julia is still our little princess & will always be! She must always have the right shoes, hair, & purse for every occasion!

Sage wanted a serious picture! He's growing up so fast...he's almost as tall as I am (he's up to my shoulders) and he's only 8!

My sweet Julia will be 5 soon!

It's hard to believe that my sweet baby girl will be turning 5 in a couple of weeks! She will have a birthday party the weekend before the actual day so we will not run into delivery day for mommy & hopefully I'll have more energy! She got to invite 5 little girls & a big girl (our church's children's ministry assistant). I found some really cute games on the internet and it will be a fun time for all I hope!

I now have 5 1/2 weeks left in this pregnancy and this past week I've become pretty uncomfortable. Brody took this picture before church this morning since I haven't really taken any pictures of myself this pregnancy.

Sundance Kid

Here is the picture of the kids after breakfast with Sundance. Brody challenged him to many quick draw contests and Julia got dolled up in dresses, all 15 or so bracelets, necklaces, and about 12 bows in her hair, eye shadow and lipgloss before heading out to look for him wherever we were. He talked to her all about his little sister (5) who has a pink saddle for her horse and that immediately endeared him to her. That and the fact that he noticed her pink cowgirl boots and pretty hair. She is all fashion and her love language is definitely words of encouragement. We could be in for it if any teenage boys figure this out later in life. To be fair, Julia did catch the fancy of Wild Bill and Wyatt Earp also. She is a very beautiful girl and they loved to listen to her talk in her little pixie voice.

Julia's prairie bonnet

Julia loves her new prairie bonnet and wore it at the fair this year. Aunt Debbie was so wonderful (and speedy) to make it for her. We'd been looking for one for awhile. Thank you, Aunt Debbie!
