The kiddos!

Our nine month old is growing up!

Olivia turned nine months this week, and she's growing up so fast. It seems to me the more we have, the quicker they grow up! Time goes by so fast. She started crawling at 8 months, and now climbs and pulls up on everything. She our happy baby, and loves playing with her sister and brothers. She says Dada, Mama, and Bubba (for Adrian) and lots of other babble we don't understand yet :)

The kids put her up to Adrian's school table the other day, and were so excited they wanted me to take her picture!

A little blurry, but cute anyways!

Pumpkin farm....

A few weeks back we took the kids to this farm not far from our house that has all kinds of fun things for the kids to do. We went to this place last year, and they had such a blast, so we took them back this year, and it's even funner for them the older they get. There were haybails to climb on, hay rides, a corn maze, a train to ride, ropes to climb, go carts to operate manually, and fresh jam to taste.

This baby girl LOVES her Daddy!

Feeding the cows!

The train ride..

Olivia had a blast playing in the corn kernels!

As you can tell by these pictures Olivia loved this!

Going thru the corn maze, and finding all the marked posts.

Hospital days with Brandon

Brandon and Sage looking out the window, and wishing they could be out there!

So I uploaded these backwards, but here are some pictures from our 13 days in the hospital with Brandon's surgery on Sept. 21st. There were so many up and downs, good days and bad days, so we were very thankful when on day 13 things really turned around for Brandon and we were able to go home. Patrick, Olivia, and myself spent every day there with Brandon, and Mom brought up Adrian and Hannah-Lynn in the afternoons to visit.

This is Brandon's surgeon, Dr. Bleiweis. He's such a great doctor to Brandon and very caring.

We have so many nurses that have become our friends from the first time we were in there back in 2007. Lots of them are still there, and know us well. This is Josh with Brandon on the day we got to go home.

Happy to be going home!

This little girl got to spend lots of time with her brother, and was such a good sport for having to spend so many days confined to a playpen or being held.

Off for a ride in the wagon.
