Nat and Ry

natalie is a banana freak...and apparently now has become even picky about which banana she actually wants.....

these were obviously all tested and i guess none of them to were her liking :)

with tyler and hailey either at school or hanging out with friends....natalie and ryan actually get some alone time together

this is the 2 of them after their afternoon naps

how cute are they!!!

with ryan growing more and more everyday...natalie loves to play with him and treat him as her baby....and by the looks of it....ryan doesn't mind at all :)

Ry

can you believe he will be 7 mths on Monday, has 2 teeth, is trying his hardest to crawl, and is the cutest thing ever!!!

i'm so far behind on posts....check out my header...ryan is older than natalie is in the header and i haven't changed that or added him :) whoops!

Happy Halloween!!

Our First Hike

Cameron Lake

 gorgeous isn't it?!

 the water was cold, but there was no keeping the kids away from it :)

 so pretty

 heading off into the wilderness :)

this was a nice little short hike...perfect for the kiddos

 it lead us to another beautiful lake....

we were excited to see some wildlife, so we were all on the look out! we saw a deer and then we saw something in the water, but they ended up being some ducks bunched together :) they have bear signs all over, but I'm glad we didn't see any on the hike!!

here we are....thanks eileen for the picture!!
