Birthday Celebration for the Keagster

Keagyn chose to have her party at Twalla's, with pizza, root beer and brownies.  YUMMY for everyone!  Enjoy the festivities....we sure did!

Keagyn Schmegyn turns 4!!!!

Happy Birthday to Keagyn!  Happy Birthday to Keagyn!  Happy Birthday Dear Keagyn!

I can hardly believe that this little munchkin turned 4 today.  What a great girl she is!  She is our princess/fancy nancy queen, and we wouldn't want it any other way.  She has the most beautiful BLUE eyes, and she has a Bostonian accent, you know "park the car" and such nonsense.  She can be found singing or dancing or playing with babies.  She is the best little and big sister that could be asked for!  So, to my dear sweet Keagyn, I love you and am so delighted to you have you as my daughter, you bring sweet smiles, tons of laughter and great fun into our family, thank you for being our surprise!  

Love you!!!!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas....

Winter Wonderland here in Connecticut!!!

Auryana in all her glory!

Aury loves to do this every single time we feed her.  It is cute, funny and annoying.  Especially when she won't let go of the spoon.

This picture is demonstrating that she has quite the reach on her.  She grabbed her food from off the table and then dumped it down herself, she was very hungry!!!

Still fascinated with her feet....

And her beautiful face!!

Clyde's Cider Mill

Oh the memories of the donuts and the fresh cider......ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh!

Working Mom slacks on blogging.....

So, now you all know why there hasn't been any new postings for over a month now.  I am back at work, a love hate relationship.  I work at a dermatology office in Mystic.  It is a beautiful place to work, with lovely people and I couldn't ask for a better place, if only they would pay me to stay at home with my girls, now that would be ideal!!!  Maybe someday.....I will now be premiering my girls' first dance recital, and Clyde's Cider Mill (all occurred in November), ummmmm and some other random pictures of the chica's, so please enjoy!

Halloween and all that....

Trunk or Treat at the Church

Frankenstein

Werewolf, polka dots and spider web pumpkins.

We had a great time for Halloween this year, Brynn and Keagyn had class parties at school that I was able to go to.  I have decided that Halloween was made for Keagyn, all within one day she was a Fairy, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland.  Brynn was a Fairy and then Mulan.  Aury was simply a ladybug, but a dang cute one.  We went to Trunk or Treat, which was inside this year due to the weather, and then to Brynn's school with some friends from church for trick or treating there.  Needless to say, we made out like bandits in the candy department, not good for my hips!!

Apple picking

Cortland apples

Brynn and Keagyn with their apples, they were so excited to pick them themselves.

Mutsu apples

My girls with their yummy treasures.  

Okay this was our family home evening for last week.  I decided that really fresh apples would make the best pie for Brynn, so we went to Holmberg Orchards to pick apples.  The girls had so much fun!  We talked about faith and how the apple trees come from a seed and likened that to faith.  I was very impressed with how much the girls understood the message. 

Running through the orchards.  The apples are most delicious too!!!

Brynn's Birthday

Thank you to everyone who wished Brynn a happy birthday, she enjoyed the cards, phone calls, and the message left to her via "the blog".  It was a great day for her and for us here are some of the pictures from her dinner.  She wanted apple pie instead of cake, and she took cupcakes to her class.  The missionaries came for dinner and she really enjoyed them as well.  Good times.
