We love you Great-Grandma Pech!!!!....Birthday party pictures

 The decorations

A smile??  Not sure.  But still awfully cute.

 Dylan's carebear cake had a bit of a head injury...Lily was so excited when she was carrying it to me that she accidentally smashed the box lid on his head.  Glad he wasn't completely decapitated!

The girls' birthdays are so close that we decided to combine their parties.  Lily is now 4 (in a few days) and Dylan is 1.  Where has the time gone?

Weekend at the farm

Below picture is Lily at about the same age Dylan is now...

My big girl....

This is a special post for Great-Grandma Pech--this is the first picture I've ever seen Lily color where she actually stayed inside the lines. This seems to have changed overnight....just a couple weeks ago she was still scribbling. Anyway, I have fond memories of my Grandma Pech "grading" my colored pictures.  Usually the grade ranged anywhere from A+ to A+++.  So Lily wants to know, Great-Grandma, what do u think--A+++?   =)

Fall 2012--Apple Orchard

The local apple orchard that we love to visit in the fall opened a new area called the "Back 40 Playground".  I think there are lots of great ideas for "farm grandpa" to add things to the Pech farm. 

"The Pumpkin Princess".  I overhead this girl say she dyed this dress herself--I must say I'm impressed!

Caramel apples!

Dylan had fun from the stroller!

As you could guess, we had lots of corn in her pockets when we got home...

Notice the tire mountain inthe background.

Had to go with Dad the first time but then was ready to go on her own...

Lily ran into her friend McKenzie there and they raced pedal tractors...until Lily decided that hers was out of gas....

(And gas goes in the tire...duh!)

And she was off again....
