Cute kids, falltime

 Little miss cute Evie has been so tough lately! She just has power struggles with me all day long. She wants to run the house! She also stopped napping the majority of days and learned how to open doors so now she is impossible to keep up in her room during quiet nap time. She will at least play with her toys for a while though. She is very jealous of Andrew going to school and wants to go to. Hopefully we can get her in school once she turns 3; she may just need some independent time! She does love to have me all to herself while Andrew is at school though. We have tea parties and she brushes my hair for an hour haha. She just loves all girly things.

 Ball pit slide! We play out back while we wait for Andrew to come home from school. The van picks him up at 11 and he doesn't get back till 4. Evie likes to play with Layla and Layla loves it too.

 Layla is getting better at sitting up by herself!

Layla has so much fun in the swing. She doesn't get to do much when we go places but at least now she can swing. 

 If i push her a little too fast she gets scared, haha. She still doesn't like being thrown up in the air or anything fast. She likes to take it easy.

 Evie and Andrew like to push her too.

 We took Andrew to another evaluation and they said he is not on the autism scale anymore so thats good. He was pretty delayed in his creative play and his communication. So grandma helped us get him some toys to encourage self play. He loves paw patrols and knights right now and did pretty good playing on his own after I got down and showed him a few different things he could do.

 Just realized Evie's hair is mess in almost every picture of her, haha. She has got some crazy hair that won't stay put!

 Evie gets so tired after church. Andrew was taking pictures of her and trying to wake her up but she wouldn't budge!

 I love the day before garbage day. I go out and find stuff on the curb much to Brandon's dismay haha. He thinks I'm crazy doing that but it's just going to go in the garbage truck so I don't feel bad taking it and getting a little more use out of it. People get rid of so much cute stuff! I got a fun new tea party table and chairs for the playroom. We had fun playing with Elsa serving our water. Layla thought she was big stuff sitting up in the chair with the kids.

 She has the cutest little face.

 Also got a fun little shopping cart, dollhouse with sounds that still work, and a jogging stroller! Our single stroller is falling apart so this one definitely beats that!

 Also found a a fun little push car. It's pretty beat up but the kids don't care.

 

 Andrew was so cute pushing Layla around the block. The weather was cool and so nice today. Can't wait for fall to come!

Apple picking

 Matching cuties!

 Layla loves to sit on her ride on toy. She giggles and squeals. She watches the kids go on their bikes all day long so she likes to get out and do it to.

 Grandma got us super cute owls to put on the wall. The playroom is the best room in the house!

 Layla is crawling now. She can get anything now. She is such a busy body! She loves to pull things off of shelves so I'm going to have to start baby proofing again.

 The weather turned cold on Sunday so we got to get out our awesome jackets! I'm so excited for fall!

 She can sit up in chairs now! She is getting so big.

 We went to an Apple picking orchard. They had a bunch of fun playground stuff for the kids too. It was nice and cool out and the kids had a lot of fun! We went on a hayride picked some apples and got apple cider.

 We got to see how they sort and clean their apples! Andrew got flapping pretty good watching them roll down the ramp and go through the machine.

Best apple cider ever!

School, U.S Open,

 Andrew loves his new baseball shooter. It shoot pretty fast! He can get a piece of it but sometimes it just hits him in the head. He still thinks it's fun!

 The kids love the game Feed the Woozle.

 They love to try and grab each others hands when they swing. Evie thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

 Andrew's first day of Preschool. He was so ready to go. He loves school and the teachers. He gets extra speech therapy and behavior therapy at his class too so that is great! He was crying when I picked him up because he wanted to ride in the school van with the other kids and have no mommy, haha. The van picks him up from our house and takes him to school and home now so that is super nice for me :)

 Evie got to go out for ice cream with mommy while Andrew was at school. She loved having the attention for herself. She had fun playing with Layla too.

 Layla went on the swing for the first time and loved it! She is so sweet.

Brandon got a whole week off so we got to go to the U.S Open tennis in New York. I have always wanted to go so it was so amazing to get to go! We got to see some great matches and just had so much fun being on our own. Brandon's family watched all three kids for us for a couple days so that was really nice to get a break. I feel a lot more rejuvenated and ready to start another long month of residency hours.

 Had the best fallafels ever in New York.

Roger got to bless Layla while they were here so that was so nice! She screamed during the blessing just like Evie haha, but it was a very sweet blessing. She is such a sweet little thing and we love her! 

 Evie got princess shoes from Grandma and wears them everywhere. She is so girly, haha.

 Andrew had been begging Grandma for a magical bracelet that would turn him into a mermaid for months so he got to make a mermaid tail. He loves it so much, haha.

 I got to go shopping for some new clothes! So nice to shop without the kids.

 Someone was throwing away scooters on trash day so we swiped them. The kids had a lot of fun. Only a few bumps. Andrew is pretty good at balancing on it.

 I've been dying to paint the playroom so Roger helped me paint it pink and white! I had a lot of fun painting. It turned out so cute! So much better than the old chocolate brown. Andrew misses the brown but I love the pink. Roger also tiled our bathtub; it looks amazing!
