Buddy Walk 2011

 I found  this picture as I was going through photos and I thought it was too cute not to share.  In September, the kids and I participated in the Down Syndrome Awareness/Buddy Walk. 

All of the cousins, from oldest to youngest
Heather (21), Tyler (15), Abbi (9), Brenna and Brody (6)

The walk is always a great to celebrate the many great kids with Down Syndrome!

Sports Day!

The last week of October was Red Ribbon week at Brenna and Brody's school.   Each day they got to wear something special or bring something to school.  I only managed to get a picture one of the five days. 

Brenna is such a brave girl to wear her Viking apparel to school.  She said she wasn't the only Viking fan at school. :) 

More Fall Fun!

We made our annual visit to the pumpkin patch.  Even though the kids are getting older, they still had fun!

Sometimes they love each other...

Love this face. :)

They both LOVE animals!

Racing down the slide..always a competition!

Looking way too tall!

                                             We carved pumpkins with cousin Abbi. 

                          The kids want to do everything on their own. Thank goodness for the child-safe knives.
