Vermont 2012

Here we are again…our annual Vermont fence pictures!  To catch up on our tradition, check it out here and here!

The fence, sadly, is even smaller than it was last year…the pieces that are still up are in good condition, so we’re hopeful it will be around a while longer!

My handsome little man…he needs to stop growing up! 

And my Gigi….she’s taller than the fenceposts now!

And…my little stinker.  Who absolutely refused to stand in front of the fence!  This pic is him sulking off on the side, saying, “No, I don’t want to!!”

Luckily, he decided to jump in an ham it up for the group pic!

Our family

Another fall has arrived and my babies are getting so big…wishing I could stop time for just a little bit!

LPA Fall Harvest 2012

Yesterday we spent the day at the LPA Mid-Hudson chapter’s Fall Harvest!  We had such a great time there last year that we couldn’t wait to go again!  There’s so much to keep kids busy - riding the cow train, taking hayrides, riding ponies, climbing the apple crate castle, sliding on the slide, challenging each other with the apple slingshot, playing football, and having a hot dog roast!  We loved hanging out with our LPA friends, both old and new!

I’ll let the pictures do the talking!

It was a great day with great food and great friends!  Thanks, Mid-Hudson chapter!

Chowderfest

We spent a lovely fall morning downtown at Chowderfest!  Yum!

Liam skipped the chowder and went straight for the churro.

After we filled up on the 22 different chowders, we took a walk through downtown.  There have been many new businesses opened and we love checking out what’s new!

I love Troy!!

A “Little” Zumba!

Tonight we had the pleasure of kicking off Dwarfism Awareness month with an awesome Zumba fundraiser in Herkimer for our LPA chapter!  The Weisser family put together this fun event and we were so glad to be able to participate!

These crazy boys sure were glad to see each other again!  They were also thrilled that their friend Mackenzie was there to join them too!

Getting pumped up for Zumba with Hollie, the instructor!

Seamus and Ethan got to join Hollie up on stage to help teach the class!  The room was packed and they were loving it!  The instructors were awesome.

I even caught Liam putting the moves on the other Zumba instructor!!

Whew!  90 minutes of Zumba and these boys rocked it!

Of course, video was a necessity!  Here’s a taste of the action!

At the end of class, Hollie gave them the stage to freestyle – check out these moves!

Jen, thank you for all your hard work for this fantastic event!  We had a great time!

Our Little Muppet Turns Two

Our little Liam has turned two!  I just can’t believe it.  He is growing up so fast.

Liam adores the Muppets, but of course I was not able to find any Muppets party supplies.  So instead, we found some Muppets printables online and decorated with orange, blue, pink and green – to represent Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy and Kermit.  He was so excited to see the decorations when he woke up on his birthday!

His grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all came to celebrate his special day with him!

Nanny made him a special Fozzie Bear cake!  Wocka wocka!

Liam was not so sure about everyone singing to him…

But he quickly learned he needed to blow those candles out so he could eat some cake!

He received many wonderful gifts…monster trucks and race cars galore!  He is just like his brother Seamus, and the two of them have so much fun playing trucks and cars together.

He got Goldfish too!

And a special Fozzie Bear to hug!

Aunt Chachi brought him The Lorax dvd and fake mustaches so he could dress up like the Lorax.  Guess who had more fun with the mustaches??

He also received an awesome ride-on Radio Flyer coaster!  He rode this about a million times!

All the kids had fun with it!

Happy Birthday Liam!  We love you so much!
