How do you fix a broken jack-o-lantern?

With a PUMPKIN PATCH!!!!

Speaking of pumpkin patches, we have gone to THREE!!! That's what was keeping us too busy to post the news about the twins. (See previous post to find out the genders!!).

Ben's Giant Pumpkin Farm, Sugar Grove. In attendance: Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Mike, Unlce Kyle, Aunt T, Kyri, Tessa B, Me, Bryan, Aubry

Aubry was so excited that her shirt matched Kyri's

Tessa loved the wagon ride

Aubry was not too fond of the "search for a pumpkin" part. She hung out with her dad.

Tessa will be walking in no time! Look at those strong legs!

The Burritts

The Knutsons

Is Tessa really sitting on a pumpkin all by herself in the background? Impressive!!! (And amazing photography skills!!) (Aubry is not enjoying the activities today)

Love it!

RIB NIGHT at the Grenber's = more pumpkins! (and yummy food!)

Instead of carving, Aubry and Kyri colored pumpkins - Thanks Aunt Sandy!

Kyri & Pop toasting their marshmallows 

 Aubs hangin with dad again, with a bowl of carmel corn

Some of the fire spectators

Sonney Acres, St. Charles. In attendance: Grandma Karen, Grandpa Dale, Me, and Aubry

"Mom, no pictures please, I wore this shirt 2 days ago in other pictures!! How embarassing!"

Aubry's favorite ride. She rode it 4 times, and had to have a different vehicle each time. 

She begged Grandpa Dale to take her - does it look like she had fun?

Funny thing is, she asked to go again!

Kuiper's Family Farm, Maple Park. In attendance: The Boston, Dolls, Staschs, Burritts, and Knutsons.

Aubry & Tessa. Aubry wore 2 braids all day. She looked so grown up.

Cutie Mia

Ethan is taking Aubry for a ride!!

Aubry & Kyri had help climbing the hay stack so they could go down the slide.

But Aubry would only go with daddy.

The kids: Reese, Ethan, Mia, Tessa, Kyri, Tatum, Sophia

notice whos missing? Our very own Aubry. Miss Stubborn had to sit on a stack of hay on the other side of the barn.

Other randomness that we have missed posting:

We got together with the Bucholzs, Connellys, and Staniaks.

Here are all the kids - they played so good all night!!

Chase (3), Blake (1), Avery (4), Aubry (2.5), Nate (2.5), Reese (3.5), Olivia (0.5), James (4), Noah (5), Logan (0.5)

Aubry loved the giant Hulk hands. They were hilarious on her!

 A nice Saturday afternoon nap. I looked exactly the same on the other couch. :)

 Kissing Cousins

 Ice Cream lover. We didn't expect her to eat the entire Dove bar. She proved us wrong.

 Little Miss Princess. Every once in a while she will put on her tu-tu, bracelets, necklace, and crown, and tell me she needs her glass slippers. I help her put on a pair of old jelly shoes and she insists that we "dance at the ball". We sway back and forth for about 30 seconds, and then she says "all done" and takes her "costume" off.
