In no particular order because there were WAY too many to sort! Happy Birthday to Korinne and much, MUCH more!

I took some birthday pics of Korinne.  She was not excited about it at all! She does not like her birthday dress and was pretty tired! She got sick the next day so that might have a little to do with it.

We took some more pics of her downtown on a different day (and a different dress) and those went much better! 

Korinne was not happy that we lit the donuts because she really wanted one right away. 

I ran the Pink Laundry 5k on Oct 5th - I got third in my age group. 

Karlee loves to bake.  She baked and decorated this cake by herself (for the most part!)

We have had a lot of unique medical situations the last few weeks.  Kohen woke up one morning with a swollen ear forehead and eye.  They beleive it was from bug bites but it was one of the craziest things I have seen.  The ear was enormous!

Korinne woke up from day care last week and wasn't able to walk.  We went to urgent care and CM ER but they were not able to figure out why.  By the time we were at CM ER she was back to walking.  Mystery!

We had a couple weeks of sick people!  Karlee had to go to the urgent care during Korinne's birthday party.  She ended up having strep.  Ben came down with pneumonia the same night Korinne went to the ER and had to stay in the hospital for 3 days.  He is much better now. Thank goodness!  It seems everyone is on the mend and hopefully it stays that way!

She really does not like this birthday dress! We made the switch to the Foofa dress and she was much happier! 

1st present for her birthday.  Of course, she wouldn't open it. So, Karlee took over. 

This was Korinne the night of the Wild Card game.  The beginning of the night very tired .... didn't look so good but then out of no where, they came back!  She was celebrating right along with them. 

Let's go Royals!

Prepping for the birthday party.  My helper dusting and my other helper sleeping ... and of course waking in time to lick the batter! 

Family Fun Night at school

pretending to sleep at grammie's

I think she likes the turtle just as much as Kohen does! 

She loves to play with babies and we find them "sleeping" all over the house.  She is so nice that she covers them with her most prized possession!

Korinne's favorite place to hide!

Mark had a work event on Wednesday night.  I'm sure he will love that I posted this picture! 

Why, ma'am, you have a little chocolate on your lip!  I believe she snuck a scoop of the Ovaltine before making her chocolate milk! 

I got my hair cut a couple weeks ago.  I am really still trying to get used to it.  I miss my long hair!   Oh well, I guess it will grow! 

Loves to swing

Spirit Week - Mis match, excessive accessories, pajama day, sports attire and school spirit day

Kohen has been going around to all the windows and drawing characters.  This one is April O'Neil from TMNT

Reading a book to his sister and me while I cooked dinner.

National Walk to school day - you can't see them but Grandpa and Kohen are walking up the hill.  The darn sun was too bright!

Last swim of the year - this makes Korinne sad!

He has been looking for jobs so he can earn money for some legos he has had his eye on.  He helped me stamp/label some letters for work.  Great helper! 

Vala's Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska.  My parent's took the kids and Ben up to the Omaha Zoo on Friday and we met them up there Friday night after work.  We watched the Royals bring home another win and headed to Vala's Pumpkin Patch the next morning.  Below are some pictures from the weekend. 

Watching Karlee ride the pony.  She was going to ride but opted out at the last minute

Not sure about those camels! 

Korinne was pretty tired by this point and didn't want to pose to get her height. 

The pumpkin patch will wear you out!

Her new toy that she got from Grammie and Pa for her birthday. She really likes it and likes to sit in it and also likes to pose behind it, fluff her hair, and say "cheese".
