Hangin' with the Dzwinel's

Connor and Lily chilin'

Somehow Smores came up and as I looked around, we had all the ingredients.
Jo LOVES smores.  After her 1st smore, she found the marshmellow bag and had about 10 more marshmellows.   

Such a cute pix of Erin and Lily

Connor's 1st time making smores.  He loved them.

Potty Time

 Connor was interested very early in going potty (16 months old).  He started asking to go when Jo was learning and has kept on going.  This week (Nov 17th) he has started to ask to go.  That's my big boy!

Connor's 1st time on the potty! 
At 16 months, he started to use the potty. He was so proud of himself. 



Just a little reading material while I go potty

WOW!  I did it!  I made pee pees in the potty!!

Our 1st apple picking adventure

Connor picking his apple all by himself.  Such a big boy

Jo and Connor made a friend while apple picking.  The farm dog kept running in between the tree lines.  Each time the kids saw him they would yell and chase after him. 

Jo loved picking apples. She is showing off her pickings. 
Johanna kept picking all the apples at her eye level. 

Teamwork. 

Kids in Motion

A little late, but here it is. Our last playdate before school started at Kids in Motion.

Johanna loves purses.  She collected them and then went for a little shopping.



Our friend Brook performing on stage, for one day only. Don't miss it.

Kris and Lydia playing

Silly Brook, wake up!

Bubbles!  Every hour or so a bubble machine goes off and a whole corner of the room is filled with bubbles.  Johanna had so much fun running through the bubbles.

Boo...to you

 On Friday night we went to Boo at the Zoo with some friends after a spooky dinner.  Connor and Johanna were dressed in their Halloween costumes.  YeeHaw!

My cowboy and cowgirl

Jo waving to the crowd.  She definately hammed it up for the audience.

Johanna won 1st place for best posture while riding!  The other riders won for Best Balance and Best Confidence

Thank you for coming out to support Johanna for her big day!  She was very proud of riding for everyone. 

Mots Kite Festival

I took Johanna and Connor to Mots Kite Festival downtown while Tom was at ND with his buddies.  When we got there we ran into a co-worker and her son, Eli.  We had an awesome time!

Oops, Connor has pig tails and Jo is the boy - it was all about Jo reaching a hole by herself.  Next time I'll have to check the picture on the front.
