Since it's been 3 months since my last post...

OK, so the excuse is a really hectic schedule since nursing school started! I really should be doing homework, but I just HAD to update my blog TODAY! Here's a little a dis and a little a dat of our lives...
Phia has turned into our little thumb sucker. Kinda odd considering I was not a thumb sucker, Sid wasn't and Sidney wasn't either. Right now though, she is AWFULLY cute suckin' on that thumb! I may have different ideas if she keeps it up for years and years...

Here, Sidney thinks he is hiding from us...

We went to the Yakima County Fair in September for Hannah's THIRD birthday....it was a L-O-N-G and HOT day for all but well worth the drive.

In August, Josh and Nichole and their kids (notice it is plural now!) and our family took over Gramma and Granpa Gaertner's house for some pics and food. This was the best shot we could get of all the Gaertner cousins in one spot! No, Phia is not drunk, Aiden did NOT let go of his lovey, Shaylee did make it out alive and I do believe Sidney is pointing out a dirty diaper. This is something we are going to try and do every time we are together, take a picture of all the kids in one spot!

We took the kids to a corn maze outside of Quincy a few weeks ago and Sidney LOVED....the dirt! He had a blast chasing and being chased thru the corn. Phia was sucking her thumb and falling asleep by the end of our time there. It was great! I'm totally loving all the fun things we are able to do, especially the older Sidney is getting. And Phia is such a trooper and ADORES her big brother!

Sidney put a remote in the microwave and started it on fire...fortunately, I remembered that baking soda puts out flames on the stove, so why not a microwave?? I have a shiney new microwave now and did you know they DO make them with lock-out features for kids such as my little pyro?? It kinda works like locking your cell phone from accidental 911 "butt" calls...

Well, I can't seem to post anymore videos or pics at the moment so I'd better post before I lose it all! Check back again soon for more goodies! Love to all our family and friends...ya know who you are and we miss you lots!
