Our latest and greatest!

I love this picture! Look at those CURLS!
I snapped a few pictures of Londers today, and I can't believe that she will be 2 years old in a month. Whoa, two years sped by! She is growing so fast. Here are a few of her favorite things lately:
-Mamma Mia the movie (she literally screams MIA when she sees the DVD cover!)
-The potty, I can't believe this, but she keeps asking me to go to the potty. Today she peed and pooped in the potty. We'll see if this continues.
-Her Daddy, she asks for him all day and when he finally comes home every day she is in HEAVEN.
-To climb...on EVERYTHING, she has learned to push a bar stool over to what ever she wants in the kitchen.
-Dogs...especially Daisy. (Mike and Jess's dog.) She is in LOVE with dogs.
-PIZZA, she thinks she should get to eat it for EVERY meal.
-To dance. She's a dancin' fool.
-Fits. She is officially into the fit throwing stage of her life. I'm totally bummed, but I have officially awarded her the worst fit thrower in Kohls of all time. I honestly could not BELIEVE how loud she could scream. I can never show my face there again.
-Shoes, she puts on everyone's shoes in the entire household. She loves them.
-ConYEEE...her brother. She eggs him on ALL day. She won't leave him alone.
-Loves to say the animal sounds (especially oink like a pig, but at the end she says E ,I, E, I, O, and starts singing the old McDonald had a farm song)
-MENO...what she calls Nemo.
I think that's about it. I just wanted to document some of her favorites so that I would remember them!

Things are going good at the Ulrich household, other than we've had sick kids over the weekend, and since we didn't know we were sick, I'm sure we gave it to some family that was in town. I knew Oaklyn was acting a little sick, but it didn't hit in full force until Friday night. (The fam came to town Thursday and Friday). What started out being a little sick, escalated into a full-blown fever. So...it hit the two older kids like a train wreck. Poor Connelly puked all Saturday night. Oaklyn seems to be feeling better, and Con's fever has been gone since Sunday. I just feel bad that we had people at our house to share the germs with. I hope everyone is ok.

We took the kids to Staheli Farm the other day to celebrate Fall, and it was sooooo fun. The kids had a blast, and I'm so glad we went. It felt good to get out of the house into the fresh air. Dan carved them a John Deere watermelon to display since they gave us a deal on all our pumpkins this year.
The kids had a blast with their friends Benson and Hiley. Oaklyn was TERRIFIED that we weren't going to find our way out of the corn maze. Wow...she could not relax.

Here is the pumpkin stash for the year!

I think we officially have 50 so far. We are getting really excited to start carving, but we can't start until a few days before Halloween. A few more weeks to go!

It seems crazy that the holidays are right around the corner! Life speeds by when it gets so busy.
One last thing...I HAD to document this because this is literally the first time I have seen Dan mop the floor in years. Yes, I said YEARS. I'm racking my brain to be sure, but really I'm pretty sure that it is true. I was so grateful! To give him a bit of credit...he does help A LOT with dishes and A LOT with laundry. He's just not much of a "floor" kind of guy. So, I had to give him a little shout-out for his effort. Way to go babe...the only problem is that now I know that you know HOW to do it! :)
