Lapidaries, Zoos and Pumpkin Farms Oh MY!

We've been having lots of fun and enjoying each other over the past few weeks...here is a glimpse into what we've been up to.

We went mining for gemstones with some of our homeschooling friends at Stoneworks Lapidary

They were all SO focused!

Luke found lots of treasures!

Hope LOVED looking for BLING!  ;)

Ben was METICULOUS.  :)

 Hope started dance class!  She is the most adorable ballerina.

 This handsome dude turned 8 months old and started CRAWLING after one OT session working on it!

 As you can tell...he is also growing like a weed and LOVES his food!

 We headed to the Cleveland Zoo for a family fun day!

 The kids enjoyed the wolf exhibit most as they were very active!

 We also got to spend a VERY fun family day at a local pumpkin farm...where the kids got to ride these awesome pedal cars.

 Jacob is just the smiliest guy ever!  We just love all he brings to our family!

 They got to slingshot tiny pumpkins!

 3-2-1 BLASTOFF!

 They played in the cornbox

 We took a hayride!

 We love Sisson's Pumpkin Patch!

 Hope made corn angels!

I love these silly kids and ALL of our time together!  We are just so blessed...and looking forward to seeing what our family will look like next week!
