Pumpkin patch playdate

Reese had a playdate at the pumpkin patch today. A totally different experience from taking her last year! She LOVED running all around and checking everything out.
She is also a "snack bandit" she went around stealing snacks that people had left unattended in strollers. I must have taken away like 10 snacks from her!
I love this place!

Just taking it all in

Reese and her friends Eva and Emy

Reese and Emy are SO stinkin cute together!!

She wasn't too sure of the pigs at first

But then decided that they were OK!

Family Lunner

We had our first Drake family "Lunner" at our house on Sunday. A lunner is a combination of dinner and lunch. Since all of us live so far apart, we have an amazing meal at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that way everyone can get on the road at a reasonable time to get home. My Aunt came up with the name and it has stuck!
I am so excited to have a house we can entertain in! The weather was so nice out, we took advantage of probably our last outdoor meal before the rain starts.
They wouldn't look up because the food was so good, they didn't want to stop eating!

Yum Yum Yum

Randoms

Just some random pictures of the kids lately.
It was so hot for a few days, so Reese got to play in her crabby pool one last time for the year!
She also discovered the hose
That girl loves the water

Excuse me, why are you in MY pool

Caleb hid in this box and popped out for the longest time, and she would laugh each time like she had never seen it before!




She loves that bubba

Back in the blogging business

Hi everyone! Did you think I had forgotten about this? No I have been so bad about taking pictures of the kids since moving. In all honesty I couldn't find my camera for a week or so, so I was using my phone, and it does not take pictures good enough to post!
So we are all settled in the new house. I love it. The kids love it. Jim hasn't been home enough to enjoy it, but I think he loves it too! I will post pictures of the house later in the week. My family is all coming this weekend to visit, so I will take pictures when it is extra spic and span clean;) haha!
Jim is in full swing with his paramedic internship, so he is gone 4 days at a time now. But it's only for a few months, so it will be over before we know it.
Caleb seems to be doing well in middle school. He is getting great grades so that is excellent!
Katie, where to start with Katie? She is actually doing pretty good right now. She has good days and bad, but thats expected. She has been having lots of dr appts with specialists, to try and figure out what is going on with her body. She has her MRI tomorrow morning. We have been waiting for this for 2 months now, so hopefully it will hold all the answers we need(all good of course!)
The best news is Katie will be going back to school soon! We requested a one on one aid for her and we got it! So as soon as they hire someone and they are trained she will be back at it. Yay!!
Reese is a beast. She is getting 2 molars right now, so she is a drooling crying mess right now. It's a lot of fun let me tell you. She is jabbering up a storm and I can tell she is getting frustrated that she can't communicate her needs and wants quite yet.

Reese a hairstylist?

I'm starting to think that Reese is going to take after me and be a hairstylist. Either that or we just spend WAY too much time together and I'm rubbing off on her.
Katie now has a positioner for laying on her side. Reese loves this because she is unable to get away and she can play with her pony tail the whole time she is in it. And watch TV at the same time as she is doing in this picture
Look at that concentration

Another day, another hair style

And it's not just sissy that gets the special treatment. Caleb gets his hair done too.

Speaking of which I think he could use a cut don't you?
