Morgan's choice was inspired by her love for everything "princess", Taryn wore the same costume all our girls have worn, and Jenna decided to be a witch!
My mom came to visit in October, and of course we went to Bi-Zi Farms! This is our fourth year going, but first time on a weekend without a group. We loved all the "extras" available on the weekend.... bigger pumpkins, duck races, pony rides, corn grinding, and the PUMPKIN LAUNCH! We had a blast.
Jenna and Nana on the hay ride.
Duck races, fueled by hand water pumps.
Morgan playing "follow-the-leader" with Nana at the red barn park.
Taryn's love for the swing is fading... she was trying to climb out. Taryn bonded well with Nana.
Who's idea was the giant pumpkin? It was a bit of a circus act getting those pumpkins back on the hay ride and to the car:) We tried convincing Nana to take one home on the plane.
By the pumpkin launch.
On a trail behind our house, we loved our walks with Nana.
Morgan and Mr. Caterpillar.
Morgan, Jenna and Taryn... our sweeties.
Taryn received this cute baby doll from Grammi and Papa. I'm sure T won't mind if Morgan borrows it;)
Taryn's friend, Troy, came to her party with his family. Emily and I were walking buddies when we were pregnant with these two. I can't believe a year has gone by!
Taryn taste tested her cake first...
... then discovered she could make a mess and put it in her hair. I think some of it made it in her mouth.
Jenna LOVES to plan and prepare for parties! She carefully made the top two "Happy Birthday" signs, and Morgan contributed one as well. They were both such good helpers.
Before church today I just had to attempt a group photo:)
Here is the cake the rest of us enjoyed.
This reminds me of the picture in my baby book with Kami holding me, and Becki by my side. I think my mom's caption was "Don't drop me, Kami!" So, in keeping with tradition, "Don't drop me, Jenna!"
Whereas Morgan has completed a month of preschool at our house, Tuesday was her first day at another teacher's house. She was excited to go to "Daniel's" house and was all smiles when I picked her up. It was "D" day, and they made dog ears, plus did a lot of fun activities. Morgan is practicing writing letters. We are working with her on saying "L's" and "R's". She is such a fun-loving, imaginative girl. She loves to play house with Jenna, and is very nurturing with her baby dolls and play animals.
Here is Justin holding Taryn in our classic hand-me-down dress that all the girls have worn on the 4th.... that would be Taryn, not Justin, in the dress;)
After completing my first 10K since the 8th grade, we all sat down and enjoyed our city's annual parade. Emily and I ran together finishing somewhere in the middle-to-end of the pack:)
My friend, Sheena invited Jenna and Morgan to participate in Muttin Bustin at a rodeo this summer. Jenna was no. 8, Morgan 9. 
The girls did awesome. Jenna rode the sheep for 6 seconds, and Morgan did her best until the clown took her off fearing she was too light and would fall. For participating they received these t-shirts that they love wearing as pajamas.
