Family Time ......

My Parents are here, I am not excited or anything. hehe
We love when they get to visit for more than a day or two. We have been baking and eating and loving the time together. My sister and her family arrive tomorrow afternoon, another highlight. I just want to hug my nieces (of course only one of them will like it and not say no or scream at me. ) and my sister, and say hey to my brother in law! :)

A few pics so far from this week...

October

October has come and gone so quickly.....
Few highlights from this month

It was funny one day, I came in the dining room and
found Olivia sewing with one glove on, its the kind
with the finger cut off. Still no reason why! :)

Emilie and Allie carving pumpkins

Olivia and Annie, it was hard to get in there, the
pumpkins were huge this year. We ended up
laying them down.

September Craze

September was a busy month for our family, I started a few posts and finished none of them..so here's a little bit from each on them.

September 1-
Olivia turns 10 and the Buckeyes kick off the Football season. My parents also came up for the weekend.

O-H-I-O

Olivia opens her card, "9" cause I have been telling her
 she wasn't allowed to turn 10. She got the joke, and
I love Allie's face in this pic.

MI Chiller books, her favorite series at the moment.

Star Wars legos

Grma Coffey came over with a gift, sewing box and
sewing stuff.

Happy 10th Birthday, Olivia Anne!!

Ready for the first day!

September 19....
Annie and Allie have a birthday and turn 6 years old!

For the girls 6th birthday we let them get their ears pierced if they choose to. Annie and Allie both wanted earrings. So we were in Ohio the weekend before their birthday so mom and I took the twins to Walmart and had their ears done, separately. :) Annie went first while mom and the girls walked around the store and then we switched and Allie got hers done while they walked around again. Worked perfect.
On their birthday we were able to go over to Darren's parents house to have cake and open gifts, the big treat was Uncle Ryan, Aunt Roxane and baby cousin Avery were visiting so we were able to spend their birthday with them too.

The Birthday girls!

Opened gifts at Grandma and Grandpa Coffeys



Singing Happy Birthday!

Farm Fun by the Girls

The girls took a camera for a few minutes today at the farm. These were a few of the many they took. I spared you some...hay, puddles, and poop pics. :) 



Annie with "her" cow.

Annie likes this one cause its the smallest calf we have.
She even says it smiles at her. :)

LEGOLAND Trip in Chicago.

July 15 we decided to take the girls to Legoland in Chicago. They were having a Star Wars day so we decided the girls would love it. We told them the day before and they were so happy. They couldn't wait to lay out their outfits, Star Wars attire of course!

They had tons of legos made into a city. We had to find
 the Star Wars people hidden in here and do a scavenger hunt.

Darren and the girls (so dark).

Girls with a tiger made from legos.

Olivia, Emilie and Allie with their 4D glasses on,
we saw a short lego movie in 4D, that was awesome.

Annie with her glasses.

The girls with a life sized Darth Vader
made out of legos.

R2 D2 made with legos, Annie's favorite, cause its little.

Hard to get her out of the lego store. (And Darren) The girls
went in with a limit set by mom and left with a limit changed
by Dad. :)

We had a good time. The 4D movie was the favorite part. It had wind and water come on us, plus the images came out to your face. A few times the whol theater jumped. :)
