family pictures

We had some family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago when the leaves were really changing colors. Here are a few....(I should also note that I am in the pictures that the blond is me, yes I am blond now)

apple orchard and grandparents

My parents were in DC for the past few months, for my dad's work and so we got pretty spoiled being able to see them just about every weekend for the last 2 1/2 months. They left for home today so I took some pictures with them and the kids before they left. We will miss them!

Last weekend we went down to Charlottesville with the grandparents to the apple orchard. Sam was on a mission to fill his bag with apples and boy did he. Now I need some good apple recipes to use up all the apples we now have sitting on our kitchen counter. Any suggestions???
Here we all are getting ready to pick apples.

Caleb wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do but he sure looked cute sitting in the grass.

He may not know how to get the apple off the tree but he knows what to do with it and is happy to share.

We met up with our friends, Matt, Debbie, Kylee and Parker.

Sam and Kylee are such good friends. Sam was helping Kylee pick apples.

So this was the best shot I could get with everyone in the picture. I'm not sure what Sam is doing but it's pretty funny.

There's my cute Sam!

Caleb just loves his grandpa and especially loves his hat. He loves wearing Grandpa's hat and gets a huge grin every time it is put on his head.

This picture I just threw in because I think it's really cute. This guy is really loving preschool and learning and will sit for more than 3 seconds at a time now. Yay for preschool and great teachers! I'm so proud of him. He's such a smart kid and growing up way too fast.
