October 2012

October was a fun month! The highlight of the month was welcoming our new niece, Audrey Mae into this world! The girls are so great with her and we are so greatful to get to see her so often now that we live up here. We also went sightseeing at Devil's Lake this month, had Nana and Pop come to visit, went to a Halloween party and had a fun Halloween! Here are the photos from this month:

Halloween

Halloween already? Where had the year gone?

Fun was had by all once again this Halloween. We carved pumpkins and the girls did a great job taking all of the seeds out themselves. Nana and Pop were here visiting, and we think they enjoyed watching the girls get all messy too!

Getting the seeds out for cooking

This year we had an Ariel and a cowgirl. Both costumes turned out pretty darn cute! Mikaiya got to wear hers to her Daisy party and then again at a school party and for Trick or Treating. Braenna got to come into mommy's work and participate in the costume contest, have a party at school and Trick or Treat. She really enjoyed the work costume parade and I got so many comments about how cute she was and how well she did! Halloween was a lot of fun for everyone again this year!

Devil's Lake

We decided in early October that we wanted to find some nice fall foliage to check out. So I asked around, and hands down, Devil's Lake was the top recommendation. We had never been there before so we had no idea what we were in for. It was absolutely GORGEOUS! We hiked up this huge rock formation and saw spectacular views all around. We hiked through the woods and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of fall. Wow, it was so worth the trip and this will definitely become a yearly destination!!

September Photos

Somehow I missed posting September photos! The last month and a half has been a whirlwind! Mikaiya started 1st grade, Braenna started 4K. We had Casey's baby shower, we went apple picking, I went to a girl's weekend...it's been nuts! Here are our September photos:

New York Visit 2012

We made our annual visit to NY this August. The girls (as always!) had a blast! They swam and swam and swam in Nana and Pop's pool. We have two little fish! Braenna even learned to swim under water without her life jacket...quite the accomplishment for her! The girls also got a lot of time with their cousin Max who was there the whole time we were this year. Aunt Jen, Uncle Johnny and Ethan even came to see us while we were there!

The highlight of the trip for the girls this year though was their first ever visit to the ocean. We went to Bradley Beach on the Jersey Shore and they had a BLAST! Mikaiya loved the water from the moment we arrived. Braenna took a little time to warm up to it, but ended up having a blast as well! We will definitely have to make this a tradition!
