Apple Picking

Last weekend we had a free weekend which NEVER happens. It was a great weekend for a family activity. The girls were absolutely loving every minute of it. We went to Tuttles Orchard to pick apples. We we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find out that they had pony rides, hay rides, a play area for kids, and apple picking of course!! I was able to get tons of great photos. Kate walked around with an apple in her hand most of the time it was really funny she ate quite a bit of it. Sam's face was covered in carmel after she devoured her carmel apple. It was a great time and ended with a pan full of warm apple crisp made with the super fresh apples. YUM!!

Our Beautiful Flower Girl!!

Sam was the flower girl in Jordan (Zane's brother) and Leah's wedding. We so nervous when we went to the rehearsal and Sam said she didn't want to do it and She didn't want to wear the beautiful dress that she didn't want to take off when she had tried it on a week ago. Sam surprised us and did an amazing job! It was so cute to watch the other flower girl (Sage) turn around as they were walking down the isle and ask Sam to borrow some rose petals because she had run out. We were so proud of her and thought she looked absolutely beautiful!!!

Our Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago by my friend April's sister in law Angela. I think she did such an amazing job and was very pleased with how they turned out. The link is just a few preview photos. I'm anxious to see the rest.

First day of PreK at Sam's new School

Sam did such a great job at her new school today. She got up, got her clothes on, and brushed her hair before she came down stairs. This is a big change from last year. I stayed with her for about 10 minutes and she was fine. I was so proud of her. I cannot believe that after this year she will be in kindergarten!!! I never realized how much they looked alike until this picture
