Fall Fun!

It's that time of year to find activities for Mauren to do inside.

Mauren likes playing with Play-Doh!

Snack time on a Sunday afternoon ....

Mauren is very much into babies right now.

Her most often used quotes lately,

"My baby puked. I need a wipe."

My baby pooped. I need a wipe."

Below she is changing Old Lady's diaper!

The next Picasso?!?

Mauren had lots of fun today painting!

I think maybe Mommy had just as much fun watching, helping and photographing!

Everyone (including our 11 year old junior partner, Colby) messing around after a yummy big breakfast out!

Happy Halloween!

Mauren had a great night dressed up as a little Cookie Monster!

She wants it to be Halloween every day!

It's definitely fall!

Papa has been to visit a couple of times and gone again.

He was on the way to the hunting cabin

but had to stop and see his little girl!

There is not enough book time in the day for Mauren!

Mauren showing Papa how to use the Ipad!

Awwwwww!

Silly smiler!

I tried braiding Mauren's hair again.....still need more practice

While the boys were away the girls played!

Erick left for a long weekend to hunt so Mauren and I visited

Cross Orchard Farms where we saw lots of trains, took a hay ride,

watched how apple cider was made and petted some farm animals.

We also were spotted out shopping on two occations!

Mini trains

medium sized train

Adoption Day ~ October 1st

October 1st is just like another birthday for Mauren! We celebrated by going to McDonalds and eating ice cream! Here's some pics from Mauren's special day.

I took a stab at braiding Mauren's hair again.

I still need practice but was pleased with the results!

Mauren's hair is getting sooooo long her afro look won't do for much longer.

Now I just need a squirmy two year old to sit still longer!

I think this picture makes Mauren look like she's ready for Kindergarden. WHAT????!!!!

The braids only lasted two days (hence the need for more practice) but the best part of braids is the crazy hair-do after the braids are taken out!

We have scheduled Mauren's 2 year pictures next week and have been practicing her smile.... I think we need to have the protographer tell her to smile instead of us!

It needs some work!

Mauren's new favorite toy is Daddy's iPad. There are multiple apps on there for her but she loves 'Wheels on the Bus.' At two she already knows how to find her folder and choose between her apps!

Crazy! Do we have a 'techy' on our hands?!?
