October

Addie's half-birthday was on the 4th, so she is now officially 4 and a half years old!  She got a travel-sized dollhouse and some gum!

 Happy Birthday, Daddy!

 Daddy and the kiddos

 Levi now wears gloves to bed at night to keep him from sucking his thumb...it's been working!

Puppet show at the Nature Center

 The Nature Center is the closest thing we have locally to a zoo.  We were there with friends from our MOPS group and had a great time!  Here are Addie and Levi with their friends, James and Maggie

The fair

The fair was last month, and I took the kids and we met some friends there for a few hours.  Everyone had a blast!  In the past, animals were the main thing we focused on at the fair, but this year was different.  The kids knew there were rides (we had been driving past the fair for at least a week before going), and they wanted to ride them!

Levi on "Dumbo"

 Addie's best fish face

 Levi was scarily a natural at writing the motorcycle.

 Sweet girl

Playing in the corn with Noah

 Addie with the newborn calf directly behind her.  The mooternity ward is always a hit with her!

 Addie and Summer

 The girls rode several rides together

Levi's riding buddy was Noah anytime Noah was tall enough for a ride.

 Summer's little brother, Zane, even got to do a couple of rides!

 Such great friends

 Cotton candy time!

Gymnastics

Addie and Levi started doing gymnastics this fall and are in a class together.  They love it!  Their friend, Summer, is in the class too, which makes it even better!

 I don't know if you can tell here, but the balance beam Levi is on is green.  It's his favorite.

 Touching toes to the bar!

 Addie can do it too!
