5? ALREADY?

Well another year has gone by and now this cute little kiddo is 5 years old!  Sebastian is such a character!  He loves super hero's,  Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, and Dinosaurs.  Anytime we are in the store and he sees something from Avengers he says "look, it's mine!"  His Birthday was pretty low key as we knew he would just want to play with his new toys.  Grandma Marci and Marie came over to have cake and ice cream and watch him open his presents.

Sebastian's favorite part about Birthday cake is blowing out the candles.  I think I had to re-lite the candle 5 different times and yes we sang 5 different times too just so he could keep blowing out the candle.  In fact, even if I have a candle lit in the house he gets all excited to just go blow it out.

Abby is right there with him, not missing a thing!  These 2 are very close :)

Dinosaur books!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Avengers!

Happy 5th Birthday to my little guy!

We have a ballerina!

Abby is such a little performer!  I decided it was time for me to find either a dance class for a gymnastics class for Abby to attend.  After calling many studio's, I discovered that either places were too much of "Dance Mom" style which I wasn't prepared to put Abby in or they weren't accepting any new dancers at the time or I left a message without any call back.  One of the places that I left a message at was Academy of Ballet Arts.  I received a call back within an hour.  The lady on the phone was so nice and very inviting.  I explained that Abby wasn't quite 3 yet but would be in a few weeks.  She told me that would be just fine and we could come and try a class to see how she liked it.  Abby was so excited!  She was even more excited when we went and got her 1st pair of ballet slippers.
As soon as we walked into ABA (Academy of Ballet Arts) I knew that it was the place for Abby to be!  She skipped right in with a smile on her face.  With her being as shy as she is, it definitely assured me that she was comfortable here!  She did so amazing, she listened to everything that Miss Sheila told and was really good at whatever she tried!

Abby is 2nd from the left in this photo

Click "play" to watch a quick video of her first class.

Sebastian went with us and was a very proud big brother!  When class was over he told her 

"Wow, Abby you did great!"

Pumpkin Patch!

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and let them pick out their own pumpkins.  when we pulled up to park there were tractors all lines up for kids to play on or do pictures.  I of course was excited to go to the pumpkin patch for picture purposes and am happy to report that the kids were very cooperative.  :)

The kids were anxious to run down the rows of pumpkins.  Gabe was filling up the wheelbarrow so fast, Daddyo was having to keep up with him to empty it out.  We would have come home with 50 pumpkins or so if it was up to Gabe.  :)

Abby found her perfect little pumpkin, Sebastian found just the right size for him to carry.  Austin was such a big help, even though he probably won't admit it he had a fun time picking out pumpkins too.

The many faces of Abby....

Time for the corn maze....

Abby fell down in the corn maze and hurt her feelings, poor baby girl...

Austin came out of the maze with a souvenir, LOL!

Love our Kiddos!!!
