Update on our last month or so

Since I think that my kids are so cute in so many of their pictures, I decided to do one mass post of a ton of pictures. These are things we have done in the last month or so. Here we go!!




We went to the Ellis Hollow Fair and saw this firefighter in all his gear. The kids thought he was cool. The funny thing is that we thought he was a statue, well except Evan - he was pretty sure he was real. It turns out Evan was right. This guys was an AMAZING statue! I almost poked him to show Evan he wasn't real. . . glad I didn't!!!

The kids got to sit in the driver's seat. They LOVED it.


Brayden really enjoyed his cotton candy and doughnut. Evan told me he was done with his cotton candy because it was "just too sticky". Funny kid.



We also went grape picking one morning. The kids had a blast. And I was overjoyed to finally have FRESH grape juice. It took us the rest of the day to make the 122 lbs of grapes into juice.
It was all worth it though. I'm so lucky to have such a great husband who really did most of the work!







Brayden is just plain cute in this picture with all of his "puppies". We have Patch jr. on the far left, then Patch, the big one is Rufus, and Charlie is on Brayden's other side. He says, "they love me soooooo much!!" He is just so cute.


In between sessions of General conference we decorated for Halloween. The kids are happy to have all our Halloween friends back out in the open.







We just went to Grisamore Farm to pick apples last night for FHE.


Evan had his own bag.


Evan also posed for this picture. I didn't tell him to, he just did!

Evan must get it from his Dad! Josh wanted to make the blog, so he posed as much as possible!!

The kids get a lot of their cuteness from their Dad. . . as evident in these pictures. They also all love to pose for pictures. Brayden didn't move from this spot for a couple of minutes. . . just to make sure I got a good one of him saying "cheese". So funny.




So many apples, so few hands!!

Well, that is all for now. It's been a fun month. I am almost done canning and drying. We canned and dried 1 and a half bushel each of peaches and pears. Juiced 122lbs of grapes, and I now only have about a bushel of apples (which we just got) to dry. We are very happy with all our results!!

We also REALLY LOVE FALL!!!

Andrew Freeman Cobb

Well, good news!! I was able to FINALLY get my scanner to scan in this picture better. I don't know why it didn't work last week, but I decided to have another go at it and IT WORKED!! I am very happy about this. Our doctor's office got a new machine and they can now do the 3D/4D pictures of the babies. We were only able to get Andrew on this particular day - Addison had the cord all in front of her face - but we hope to get them both again in a couple of weeks. But for now. . . doesn't he really look like my other boys?? I think so. So crazy this new technology!

So, I would like to introduce you to Andrew Freeman Cobb. So CUTE!!

Evan's first day of Kindergarten

Evan started kindergarten today. He couldn't wait for it to happen, but I could! It actually was kinda lucky that I had a doctor's appointment so early because then we were all rushing and leaving at once.



Evan ready for school.


Evan waiting for the bus.


The Bus coming (It's actually coming to drop him off as I was not thinking well to take a picture in the morning).


Evan getting off of the bus this afternoon. He had a great day at school. He loves it!!
Now I just have to wonder when I'll stop worrying about him all day long until he gets back home!!

Sleeping outside

We finally had a Friday night in Ithaca that didn't consist of rain!! The kids finally got to sleep outside with their Dad on the trampoline. I think the had fun. They seemed to sleep well, and no wimps came inside in the middle of the night! Aren't they so cute! Of course, I didn't join them seeing as how getting on and off is a problem now, as well as the frequent bathroom trips that I take in the middle of the night. Maybe next time!!

Our Twins

These are the only pictures I will ever share of our kids naked!! But, considering it's such great news and all, I figured I would allow it this one time. Here are the latest ultra sounds of our children.


This is the boy's profile.


This is how we KNOW it is a boy.


This is our GIRLS face. She is looking straight at you.


This is how we KNOW it is a girl.

How excited we are to have a girl and a boy. It will be so much fun, crazy and busy!! Wish us luck!

Painting our living room

So, we decided to paint our living room. No, I didn't take before and afters, but I did let the kids help. I quickly realized that red is not really the color to let the kids help with. . . it's not as forgiving as other wall colors. It turned out well in the end, and they had fun, so no real harm done.

Grandpa and Grandma Dance come to visit

We had a lot of fun last week when my parents came up. We toured them around Cornell's potato breeding program, and showed them the waterfalls, then we went to Niagara Falls, Palymra, and all sorts of cool church history sights. We all learned a lot. We even checked out the outlet mall. It was a lot of fun, and mom got new shoes!! :) Thanks for coming and having fun with us Grandma and Grandpa!


Brayden talked his Grandpa into jumping with him. They had a lot of fun!



Evan road his bike in the garage while they jumped.


This is in the line for Niagara's Fury. Not really worth it, but still fun. Everyone looked cute!


Like I said, everyone looked cute!! :)


This is what it looks like when you try to take a picture while a waterfalls is pouring down next to you. . . doesn't work to well.


There was still a bit of mist in the air, but what a great picture!


Got Evan to take a similar picture. This is right above the horseshoe falls on the Canada side.

Since my mind is still out of comision, I failed to get other pictures of the other fabulous places we went. But it was a lot of fun, and we encourage everyone to come and visit us!! It really is a blast!!
