this was at schnepf farm. it was lots of fun especially for ryan because they had some fun rides that he loved going on.
i wish you could see this picture better. ryan "had" to go on this roller coaster. he had never been on one before and he barely made the height requirements. i was so nervous that it was going to scare him to death. well, he actually ended up loving it and had to go on it about 6 or 7 times. he would keep his arms above his head the whole time (we had to literally hold him in on a few of the tuns so he wouldn't fly out). if you double click on this picture you can see his face better.
my happy girl. she would point to all the pumpkins and say "bubbles" - that's what she calls balloons.
sweet kids. they had so much fun.
i have never known anyone so young who LOVED shoes as much as she does! she tries so hard to put them on herself and gets so frustrated that she can't. i imagine she will be able to do it any day now with all the practicing she does. she will bring me her shoes and say "shoe" clear as day. we can't even walk past shoes at the store without her screaming if i don't let her hold the ones she points to. she especially likes the sparkly ones.

you might think that emily is practicing to be a doctor when she grows, but the truth is, is that she thinks the stethoscope is a necklace. she wears it around her neck all the time. it is one of her favorite things.
ryan riding the four wheeler at the fair. he went on so many rides, but the pictures did not turn out very well because of the motion.
emily driving the tractor at the fair.

ryan was so excited to be a leopard. he would tell everyone everywhere we went that he was going to be a leopard for halloween.

here is my little fairy. isn't she so cute!?!
