Addie's First Field Trip

Addie's class had her first field trip to the Zionsville Pumpkin Patch.  I had a small group of Addie, Carson, Atley, and Maleigha.  It was a little chilly, but then the sun came out and it was great.  They learned all about farming, bees, and had lots of activities including a corn maze, hayride, fun with the animals, and playing in the play area.  I was able to take the day off work to go.  We got back early, so I was able to check Addie out of school early.  We had a cookie and drink at Subway before picking up Lucy.  It was a really fun day.

Happy Birthday Lucy!!

Lucy turned the big TWO on September 26th.  We had a multiple party birthday.  It was Grandparents Day at the elementary on Friday, so we had the grandparents stop in for small little birthday parties. 

Papa Jim and Grandma Debbie stopped before Grandparent's Day

Papa had to help blow out the candle.

Papa Brad and Grandma Judi stopped after Grandparent's Day

Lucy had lots of help!

On Saturday, we had Flour Mill Bakery donuts!

She opened an present from Mommy and Daddy

Clothes - she also picked out a baby doll but didn't want to wrap it.

It was also my birthday and Scott's birthday (September 28th).  We had a volleyball game and soccer practice on my birthday, but my sweet husband sent me flowers at work and took me out to the final day at the BK on Sunday afternoon.

It was the start of fall soon after and the temperature dropped.  I love this season!  

Sports!!

Katie decided to try out volleyball this year.  It is a big sport for girls at Rossville and she is really liking it.  Addie joined her first team sport with soccer.  She really likes it and it is fast-paced (which helps!)

First game at St. Lawrence

Katie picked her number....zero!

Ready for action.  She is actually pretty good at returns.

Warming Up!

She did make a goal during the game.

Frozen on Ice

We did Disney on Ice a few months early and of course they advertise Frozen on Ice.  We made a trip back to Indy to watch.  This time Lucy got to go because Jason made a quick trip to Memphis for work.

It was a fun day with Emily and Claire.  The girls had a really good time.

Fincher Reunion

We all headed up to Mom and Dad's for the Fincher Reunion over Labor Day weekend.  Mom had a torn rotator cuff, so I went up early to help.  Jason had to work at SIA all weekend, but we kept busy!

Kyran had breakfast on the steps in between swimming.

Katie is wondering what is going on

It was nice to see all my cousins.  There was a lot more people at the reunion than pictured, but you know me and picture taking.  We also had a surprise 60th birthday party for Uncle Dick that Friday evening.  It was a full, but fun weekend.

Random Post

We had some cute pictures that didn't fit in a specific blog, so thought I would post them here.

Lucy decided to make mess...as usual.

We got a pool in June and the girls had fun!
