Happy Halloween!!!

We went to a pumpkin patch in town with some of my coworkers and their children a few weekends back and we all had a great time.

This was the corn maze & the kids picked up all of the pieces of corn they found laying around. Audrey was running through the maze, giggling the whole way.

Audrey loved this horsie!

There was a mini-petting zoo so Audrey pet all of the animals.

Almost a strike! This is Audrey pumpkin bowling with a little girl named Gretta.

Here's Audrey pulling the wagon & picking out our pumpkins.

Bay Beach visit

We took Audrey to Bay Beach at the beginning of Summer, but she wasn't so sure about riding the rides by herself... so Mario & I had to ride with her.

Kelly Lake

We were invited to celebrate Jed's birthday at Kelly Lake, where Jed's dad has a cottage. We got to see his dad's petting zoo. Audrey loved the animals. He had three horses & we were able to get up close & pet them.

He also has a lot of chickens, ducks, turkeys, and grouse. Below is a picture of Audrey petting a baby chick.

State Fair

Audrey's first cream puff! MMMMMMmmmmm.

Audrey loved the cows! Also, she loved Erin -only wanted to hold Erin's hand. : )

It's been a while since our last posts...

Sorry for the long delay in no posts! It's been such a busy (yet very fun) spring & summer that I'm just getting to updating this. Here are some of the highlights from the summer:

Mario's parents came and stayed with us in July and were here for Audrey's second birthday party. Audrey had a great time playing every day with them and Mario's Omi, too.
This is a picture from Audrey's birthday party...with her cousin, Owen. She still isn't sure about him moving in on her territory, but she's warming up to him. : ) We love him a lot.

Here was her pretty birthday dress that didn't stay on very long. And a great shot of Audrey's great Omi, who we call her Oma. Miss you!

Happy Easter!

Above is Easter Sunday at Grandma Diane's. Audrey got a little protective when she saw Owen was trying to swoop in and "steal" her grandma. : )
Audrey's Easter bunny ears!

Festival had an Easter egg hunt and fun little stations for the kids to get treats at. Audrey had a great time and took her little friend, Kaitlyn (below). Kaitlyn was busy checking out the beer station while Audrey grabbed a cookie.

They also had the Easter Bunny! Audrey felt pretty much the same about him as she did Santa. Maybe next year.
