Zoo in the Fall

A couple of weeks ago, our family went to the Knoxville Zoo. This was the first time we visited the zoo in the Fall. We loved all the Fall decorations and the cooler temperature. Before we went, Riley was looking forward to seeing the monkeys and Ethan wanted to see the elephants. We certainly did not get leave disappointed!

Fenders Farm

On Saturday we decided to go to Fenders Farm. It was a beautiful day outside so it was the perfect day for it! We all had a great time together!

Kitchen Remodel

I am finally getting around to posting some pictures from our kitchen remodel. It was a much needed project and I'm so glad its complete. Tim did almost all the work. He's so talented!! It turned out amazing!

 Its actually inspired me to cook a little more and I'm looking forward to cooking a meal in my crock pot tomorrow.

Happy Birthday

On Saturday, we had a Birthday party for Riley and Ethan. Their Birthdays are so close together and most of their friends have siblings that are close in age of both of them, so it made sense. Riley wanted a jumpy. Tim and I decided to get them a trampoline so they could enjoy it more than one day. It was a hit! Riley and Ethan loved it and so did their friends!

They also played with a pinata. Everyone had fun trying to hit it.

Riley had decided he wanted a Yoda cake and Ethan wanted a Mickey cake. I found a way to pull them together and my good friend, Jama, made the cake for me. She did an amazing job!!!

On October 5, Ethan will be 3 years old.

He got a little shy after he blew the candles out.

 Riley turned 5 years old.

Present Time 

On Sunday, I had a race and then we came home to get ready for a family party. While we were waiting for family, Tim jumped on the trampoline with Riley and Ethan.

We had a great family party! They both loved being with everyone, especially their cousins, Cody and Carson. After we ate dinner, we heard the Kona Ice Snow Cone truck. So the boys sat on the curb and waited. The snow cone truck comes every Sunday so its become a tradition for us!

And the truck finally came!

Riley made a pretty rainbow one.

 Ethan likes for someone to feed it to him.

Then we had just a few more presents to open.

It was a great Birthday weekend for Riley and Ethan! Tim and I are so blessed to have such good friends and family members who love them both so much!
