the farm

tonight was so much fun! we headed over to staheli's farm and had a ball! trey was in heaven, he ran from place to place and couldn't get enough. we started out at the petting farm. trey petted the goats, the mini horses and of course we can't forget the pig. he did jump when the turkey's started to gobble. elle wouldn't touch any of the animals but had so much fun looking at all of them. from the animals we went to the slides and the big dirt pile.the kids took a train ride around the farm. then we took our hay ride to the pumpkin patch and trey picked out a pumpkin that he could carry. from there it was back to the slides and riding around on the stick horses. elle's favorite part was talking to the witch! we took our ride to the maze and trey was a great leader. he took us around til we got lost and then when he had to go potty we made it out super fast. cale was lost within minutes, he always tells me that he doesn't have any sense of direction and to tell the truth he doesn't. trey does though so he must have gotten it from me :) we made our way back and let the kids play for a little while longer. again i forgot my camera. so we have cell phone pics. they did turn out okay but we didn't get that many. enjoy!

3 really is a very magic number

3 is a magic number because we are having baby number 3 in april!!! we are super excited and can't wait for it to come. cale and the kids are hoping for a boy but we won't care if it is a girl. well trey might. :) we ask trey if he wants a brother or another sister and he tells us "ummmm a boy!" we will keep you posted on how things are going.

bike ride

trey has learned to ride his bike all my himself with no training wheels!!! he's such a big boy now and it only took 3 days to convince him that he didn't need the training wheels. now he rides like a pro!! way to go trey!!!

our little miss elle belle got her ears pierced this week. she woke up on wed. morning and told cale that she was getting her ears pierced. cale of course got on the computer and started showing her videos of other little girls getting their ears done. after watching them she wasn't so sure she wanted to get them done anymore but she didn't back down. note this isn't the first time she's mentioned getting them done.

trip one to claires: we got the earrings picked out and did all the paper work. the whole time she's saying she's getting them done. we get into the chair and ask if she's ready. her hands go up over her ears and she says "i'm not getting them done, i don't want my ears pierced." we ask her to make sure before we leave she's sure. we don't even clear the mall doors before she is asking to get them done again. we tell maybe we'll try again later. i go back to work and all cale hears about the rest of the day is "i want my ears pierced." are all girls so adamant when it comes to something that they want? cale strikes a deal with her that if we go to get them done she has to do it or else we will wait a few years before we will try again.

trip two to claires: we walk in ask elle if she is ready. "yes i want my ears pierced." get the earrings picked out again and tadaa! she's finally done! she picked out pink daisies and they do look adorable on her. She cried for a second but now has been so good about letting us clean them 3 times a day and hasn't played with them once. i'm glad that's over but i am not looking forward to the next thing that she puts her mind too. unless its riding a bike. :)
