The newest member of the family Skitty. We adopted a little kitten into our home this past weekend. He was rescued by friends of my mom; he was left in the country and pretty beaten up. They took care of him for a few weeks got all his shots updated and now he is part of our family. Collin LOVES him and never wants to leave his side. Skitty is still nervous around Kade but I'm sure they will become friends fast.

Silly Kade. He can make fun out of anything. Today it was the colander as a hat.

Our annual trip to the Little Farmer was a big success. We got there early enough to eat fresh baked muffins and drink some fresh apple juice. Kade really enjoyed the wagon rides to and from the apple fields and Collin made friends with the farmer who drove the tractor. He even tried to convince the farmer to let him ride on the tractor itself. We had beautiful weather for the trip and now have lots of delicious apples to eat up!

Apple picking. Collin is a picking pro being as this is his 4th trip to the little farmer. This year Kade joined the picking fun! He took many random bites in different apples as we picked. I think they have both eaten an apple a day since this past weekend.

Playing on the huge hay pyramid at the little farmer. Collin was king of the hill and liked to jump down to the level below. He is getting to be such a big boy and likes trying to do dare devil stunts. We have mini heart attacks as he has fun!! Kade stuck with mom and dad. He likes to copy his adventurous brother and we didn't need two jumping boys!

Collin started his first day of school today. I had to wake him out of bed like a teenager!! We made him his favorite breakfast of hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage and Cinnamon toast. His new backpack is about as big as he is but he loves to wear it. He was so brave going into school with his class. He got a little nervous because some kids near him started to cry and kept looking back for us as he walked in the door but he went in very nicely. Mom cried a few tears in the car but at least held it in until then. He had a super first day and said he made lots of friends but can't remember their names. He likes snack too but said, "I would rather have chocolate milk" He is going to have a great year learning lots and having fun!

We spent some time at Special Memories zoo. The zoo is great because the kids can get up close to the animals at the petting zoo. Collin made friends with a cockatiel in the aviary. Kade liked to pet the lamas. We all got a chance to see and pet a badger who even gave Collin a little kiss.

Dad and Collin enjoyed their first Packer game together. It was rainy weather but Collin seemed to enjoy the game even if they left at halftime. Dad said Collin's favorite parts were the snacks and the cheering!

Collin had a blast at Avalanche Ranch his vacation Bible school class. Every morning when he woke up he would ask when we were going. They worked hard on learning some fun new songs and tomorrow the group will be singing in Church while strumming some homemade guitars. Here are some pictures of practice and I hope to get a video tomorrow.

Playing at the park at the Milwaukee zoo. I got so busy watching the kids these were the only pictures I snapped for the day. Kade loved the tunnels and Collin had a great time playing with his cousin Nicholas.
