Fall pictures

Fall has been really good to all us.  Halloween was a lot of fun for the girls.  We carved pumpkins and went trick-or-treating.  Sydney and Sage dressed up as Minnie Mouse.  We had a lot of fun with Chris and Ann White, who visited us from Texas.  This last week Sydney and Sage supervised mom and dad, as we put the Christmas lights on the house.  Lately, we've been spending most of our time outside as the temperatures are still really good.  We're getting ready for a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Albers over Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving with the grandparents should be a lot of fun, as we've rented a beach house in San Diego.  We plan to visit the USS Midway and San Diego Zoo next week.

Minnie Mice for Halloween!

I tried sphegetti for the first time and I loved it!

Dad made me Mickey Mouse pancakes before daycare!

Snuggle time

I love playing learning games on my Ipad.  Thank you Gma & Gpa Aho.

Man, that looks comfy!

Mommy likes to take the girls for a bike ride.

Sydney and Sage like going to the park.  Sydney goes down the slides; Sage eats the sand.

We want food! We want food! We want food!

Gma & Gpa Aho and the Reinders Visit Sydney & Sage

Grandma and Grandpa Aho and the Reinders visit Arizona and spend time with our family.  With grandma and grandpa, we spent Saturday at the pumpkin patch in Marana.  Then Jen, Abby, and Belle arrived on Wednesday.  They spent their entire trip playing with Sydney and Sage.  This past weekend, all of us traveled to Sedona to see the sights, go shopping, swimming, and take the scenic train ride out of Cottonwood.  It was a great trip with the whole family.  We wish Steve could have made the trip, but I'm sure we'll see him soon.  Below are some of the pics from our family, the pumpkin patch, the train ride, and Sedona.

October Pictures

Fall is upon us and the weather in Southern Arizona couldn't be better.  The intense Summer heat is gone and perfect sunny days are with us for the next 8 months.

Halloween decorations are starting to come out in Oro Valley and evening walks with the kids are lots of fun.  We have a giant black cat in our front yard that blows up every day at 4:30 pm.  During the day in deflates and Sydney thinks the cat is sleeping.  On Monday, Sage started crawling.  She travels at a wopping 10 feet per minute, but she's gaining speed.  Below are random pics of the girls from the last couple weeks.

This upcoming weekend we await the arrival of Kristin's parents, Rod and Kathy, who will be staying with us.  Also, next week Wednesday, Kristin's sister Jen and her daughters visit the Albers.  We are all very excited in our house!  There are lots of fun activities planned.

Don't let her fool you, there is no need for the band aid.  Sydney just likes wearing band aids!
