Marshmallows...

A few shots from a couple nights ago. Brian made a lovely fire in our outdoor pit & the girls had a blast roasting marshmallows & playing with left over sparklers from last 4th of July. I cherish each of these little moments with my family. The pictures are a little blurry because it was hard to capture a quick shot in the lighting, but you get the point :)

Baby Genius...

"Look Mom, I'm reading!!" - he may only be five months but he's way ahead of the average baby ;) Just kidding, I'm not one to boast about my kids but I thought this was pretty funny. The girls are always doing interesting things to baby Emerson. Guess that's the result of being a third child AND the only boy. Good luck buddy, good luck haha

This is just another example of what I mean...

(good thing daddy wasn't around for this one!!!)

Pumpkin Patch...

I know I have a lot of updating to do but my sister asked me to put these photos of our pumpkin patch visit up on the blog...sooo here they are!! We had a lot of fun this year (as a family of FIVE! still can't believe that!) so I hope you enjoy the pictures :)
