Wooooo Hooooo Snow!!!!

I think we were all surprised by the snow we woke up to this morning....and it's still going!!!! Natalie could hardly wait to get home from church so she could play in the snow. Justin is in that stage that by the time we get him all bundled up he can barely move....but that didn't stop him for joining in the fun. Here are a few pictures:

As much as I love snow...let's hope this is it for another week...I don't want any snow getting in my way to the sun and sand in Mexico!!!!

Fall Catch Up

So I'm a little late...but here are some pictures from the last few weeks. They include pumpkin carving, a Halloween party and parade, Eating Owen's Birthday Cupcakes, Trick-or-Treating, Sydney's 2nd Birthday, and cleaning up some leaves.



Hope everyone has a great week!

Halloween Sneak-Peak

Our church had it's annual Fall Party on Sunday and the kids got dressed up in their costumes for the first time....here's a look at Tinkerbell and Peter Pan:

And here is a video of Natalie bobbing for ghosts....one of her favorite games...I think this was the third time she did it!

Second Fiddle and Cows Galore!

Ok....so I leave for a few days for a church leadership retreat and Aaron stayed home with the kids...and I have now become second fiddle to dad. The kids must have had an awesome time with Aaron because even though they were happy to see me when I got home, Aaron is definitely the kids favorite right now. He's super dad and nothing makes me happier then to see my kids smother him with kiddie love. As you can see he did a good job while I was gone....how sweet is this picture:

Today we hit a fall festival at a pumpkin farm and cheese farm. Here are the Curtis kids getting up close and personal with some cows:

There is apparently no way around it...those ag-roots are showing through!!!

Justin's New Dance Moves

Here's a clip of Justin shaking his groove thing after breakfast this morning.....

Pudding Pops, ABC's, and Tailgating...what more could you ask for?

I remember pudding pops from when I was a kid...so when I saw them in the store I had to get them. Now...for some reason to me they aren't quite as outstanding as I remember...but it must be a kid thing because Natalie and Justin inhaled them! Now...I didn't think Justin was quite ready for a popsicle type item...but during a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Curtis's house he was offered a Dora popsicle and he quite enjoyed it so I figured...put a bib on him...put him outside...let him go to town...and the result...a choco-fied toddler:

As for Natalie...her pudding pop made her a bit goofy but she stayed much cleaner then her brother:

Natalie is also really into performing for the camera...so when you have a minute you'll have to view her ABC's song and dance because I'm sure you'll see it again in about 20 years when she's super famous and her biography can say that she began her singing career when she was just 3 years old!

And finally....ISU tailgating has officially started. We had really nice weather and the kids ran wild. Here are a few pictures from that day:

End of Summer...Beginning of School

So...it's that time of year now...summer has come to an end and Natalie has started preschool again. We ended the summer with a few little adventures which included a night at the ISU Fan Fair, a road trip to the Lincoln Balloon Festival, a trip to the zoo with cousin Sydney, a day at Make-A-Mess, and an adventure to the Fondulac Farm Park. So summer went out with a bang! Here's a few pictures of these little adventures.

Today Natalie headed off to her new classroom for 3 year olds. She did awesome and I had to chase her down to give her a kiss good-bye. This year she'll be going three mornings a week and from the way things went today I think she's going to really enjoy her time there. I'm looking forward to having a little one-on-one time with Justin while she's in school...of course today he spent the entire time taking a nap...but don't worry we had plenty of bonding time last night around 2 am! Here's some school pics:

Let's just hope she stays out of the "Try Again" chair while at school!!!
