Pumpkin Days in the Past

So I thought it would be fun to post some of the years past costumes. Sadly, I couldn't find 2007 or 2008. Poor Lawson! He has 1/2 the pics of Sara Grace. And this little one coming in March might not have any pics at all.

2004

2005

2007 -No pic, but this was taken in Oct and cracks me up. Look at Lawson's hair. It was like that for several months.

2008

It Has Been One Year!

Last weekend we went to Pumpkin Kingdom. It was our one year anniversary to be in Upland, IN. The first weekend we were here a year ago, we came to this pumpkin patch. We felt this was a great way to celebrate our one year anniversary in IN! We had a lot of fun riding on the hay ride, going through the corn maze, and petting the animals.




Sara Grace was very excited to have our little neighbor come along with us.

Little Miss Ballerina

We all know that Sara Grace loves to dance. So we finally let her take ballet with her friend, Logan. They are having a blast, and we are loving watching it.

Here is a video of the girls doing leg kicks across the floor. Watch out Rockets! (You might want to mute the music to get the full experience).






Here are the sweet brothers that have to cheer the girls on each Monday evening.



Here is Sara Grace and her friend, Logan.

Grand Finale

I don't know if anyone is still checking, but it has been a long time since I last updated our blog. We are excited to announce that our Grand Finale is on the way. I am 16 weeks and all is going well. We are blessed with a boy and a girl, so either gender is fine with us. It has been a rough four months. We have had the stomach flu twice and I have been quite sick in the evenings. Thankfully the evening sickness is getting better. We have found a good doctor here. The thing I appreciate most about him is how positive he has been toward us. No one could take Dr. Samuel's place, but I am thankful to be in good hands. My due date is March 23, but they will take the baby at least a week early. I am grateful for a peace that Bronson and I have felt during this pregnancy. So only 5 months left. Time should go quickly since there will be a few holidays from now until then, homeschooling, building a house, keeping up with Lawson, and the never ending doctor visits. I'll keep you all updated on baby p.

Our Band

I walked in this morning and Sara Grace and Lawson were so excited to show me their band. I guess it runs in the genes (but not from my genes). You'll have to mute the music down below for the full experience.

Watch out Michael Phelps!!

Way to go!

NO more belly flops!

Learning how to use the legs.

Ready!

Sara Grace loved taking swim lessons. I asked her what she liked the most about it and she said that she liked her teacher because she let her do whatever she wanted to do. Sara Grace and her teacher spent most of the two weeks jumping into the pool from the diving board or the edge of the pool....and practice made perfect. We feel good about the fact that she is able to doggy paddle to safety if need be.

The following is a video of her jumping feet first into the pool (instead of the belly flop).

Happy 4th of July

This year we were able to spend the 4th of July weekend with Bronson's cousin Ruthie and her family. There are times in your life when you meet amazing families. This family stands out to me as incredible family. They have 7 children, but they make having seven children seem quite easy. They called and asked if Sara Grace would like to be in their town parade riding on their church's VBS float. Well you can just imagine how excited our little firecracker was.

Lawson and Joseph waiting for the float.

Here it comes!!!

There she is waving her flag.

She was thrilled to be on that float with her cousins.

At the end of the parade, Aunt Becky (Bronson's Aunt) showed the kids her new puppy.

The girls (5 Wallace girls and Sara Grace). Can you tell why she LOVES visiting them.

Our two firecrackers.

Look at the sweet puppy.

Daddy's girl.

Here are the 7 Wallace children and the 2 Pasko children. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Wallace family.
