First Day of Sunday School

Yea, yea, I know. They've been going to Sunday School for several months now:). Better late than never, that's my philosophy!!

These were 2 excited boys, let me tell you!! They have been in the children's program at BSF for over a year now, and they were excited to have another "school" to go to on Sunday mornings:). We are, too. We actually got to listen intently to Sunday morning church for a whole month before Ali was born:).

Do you suppose I should have combed down their rooster tails?!?!!? Oh well. I was probably doing good to get them dressed and out the door on time:).

They are growing up so fast - I must have blinked;).

Fun with friends

In September, we got together with some group of good friends in Indiana. I did not take any other pictures other than these 2:(, but they were so cute that I had to share:)!! These were taken Sunday morning after church. It isn't all of the kiddos, just the 4 youngest. They are good buddies, and it's fun to see their friendships grow.

We must have been lucky, because I'm not sure how we went from this..........

..........to this - all smiles and looking up. Such a good lookin' bunch of cuties!!

Labor Day parade 2011

On Labor Day we headed downtown to watch the annual parade - the longest parade that I've ever seen. It lasts over an hour!! It was a nice day, but in the shade of the buildings, the wind was downright cold!!!

Snuggling with Aunt Kara while eating their breakfast - we're not early morning eaters at our house, so we had to take our breakfast along:).

Waving at the fire trucks - our favorite part!!

"Any more fire trucks coming??"

"Yes!! I can't wait!!"

The whole parade watching crew - minus Aunt Kara (someone had to take the picture:).

Another favorite - the super sized Radio Flyer wagon.

Kyle depositing their candy in the bag. "Can I eat some, please??!?!?"

Brock adding to the stash.

Good-bye Labor Day parade. See you next year!!

Some Ali cuteness!!

Ali is growing quickly and changing every day, as babies do:). She is a good baby and we are thoroughly enjoying these baby days as we now know how quickly they pass:(. Here are some pictures from early December. I'll try to get some more recent one's up soon!!

Brotherly lovin'!!

Double the lovin':).

Some silliness for the camera.

Silliness times 2!!

Pretty in pink.

Even prettier in bright pink!

She looks so tiny here - my how things change in a month!!

My 3 snuggle bugs, trying to rock together:).

Visit with Santa

Here's our annual "visit with Santa" at State Farm picture:


Looks like Santa and Mrs. Claus have their hands full:). So do 2 other people I know!!

Labor Day fun at State Farm Park

Over Labor Day weekend, we were able to spend some time with Rob's brother Dave and his family at State Farm Park. It was too cool to swim, but there were still many things for us to do. The boys got their first shot at miniature golf earlier in the summer, so this was their second time out. They loved it!!

Daddy helping Kyle line up his shot.

Brock's turn - getting started with Dad.

Brock on his own - they did remarkably well for 3 years old:)!!

Kyle trying to get it in the hole.

Another tee off for Kyle.

The other Leman family posing with Chomps the giraffe.

Brock and Kyle under Chomps.

Brock just fit under Nibbles - the smaller giraffe:).

Playing with the big kids:).

Kyle's turn.

Some good family pictures - thanks Stacy!!

Not sure what this little critter is, but the guy on his back is sure cute!!

After golf, the boys tried their hand at shuffle board.

It's a good thing the court is large - two 3 year old's with long sticks can be kind of un-nerving:)!

Funny story - after Brock got tired of shuffle board, he sat with me and watched Grant and Maddie shoot baskets on the basketball court next to the shuffleboard court. He watched intently for a while and then said, "Mommy, I like watching Grant and Maddie shoot baskets, but I sure do wish there were some cheerleaders here!". Love that boy!!
