Apple picking

New Album 9/25/08 10:56 PM

Mallory did not have school today due to parent teacher conferences so we went apple picking and ate lunch in Conway Springs. Our neighbors the Shurts invited us to go and boy did we have fun. Mallory picked almost 30 lbs. of apples and tonight we baked an apple pie. We haven't tasted it yet, we are waiting until dinner tomorrow night. Oh yeah, I actually got Mallory to take a bite of an apple and she liked it. I think that was the best part of my entire day, those of you that know her well know how often she tries new foods! Her conference went well, she is getting all O's which is 95% or above. It sounds like this is going to be a very busy year for us as far as school goes, luckily we love her teacher! Overall we had a wonderful day, spent a ton of time together outside and lots of playing with little Mick, I added a picture of him so you can see his nice boo boo on his face, although he still is just as handsome as ever.

My crazy little man!

Well for those of you that don't know Mick took a little spill last night that ended up with a visit to the ER. He was carrying around a tractor and tripped on another one he couldn't see on the floor... he ended up falling and hitting his head on the corner of our coffee table. I have never seen so much blood before, we looked like quite the trio arriving at the hospital, all three of us had blood on our shirts and arms. Luckily he was fine and did great while we were there. Also, huge thanks to the Shurts family for helping watch Mallory and bringing us milk and toys at the ER!!!

Mallory had her party with her friends tonight. They all met at our house and got to ride in a super cool limo to Kay Wiggins (a fun store in Wichita) for a Webkinz party. They each got to pick their own Webkinz and make a bracelet for themselves and a collar for their Webkinz. We then had the limo pick us back up and go for a one hour drive around town while enjoying pizza for dinner. Once we got back to our house we had cake and the girls all played for awhile and then they are attempting to go to sleep, we will see how that goes! Big thanks to Grandma, Jessica and Abbie for helping me chaperone.

Little Cheer

Friday night Mallory got to cheer with the big cheerleaders at the football game. Maize ended up losing but Mallory had a great time. Mick attended the game but didn't have near as much fun as Mal... he had to spend the whole time in his stroller.

Mallory's actual birthday, September 18th

Mallory started out the morning with opening presents and having a couple chocolate donuts before school. She was even lucky enough to have Superman attend breakfast with her. I took treats to school in the afternoon and the class got to sing to her. In the evening she had a cheer leading practice to attend so she could cheer with the big girls at the high school game on Friday. Needless to say she went to bed exhausted!

Mal's Birthday at Grandma Sue's house!

Mallory got to celebrate her birthday a couple of days early before Paws & Mary headed for Mayo clinic, she had a great evening and got a lot of nice gifts!

Crazy Mick

Mick had fun at dinner this night making his hair as dirty as possible.
