Happy Birthday and Apple Picking!

We had another fun, but very eventful, weekend! Friday night we hit up the apple orchard with the Ehmkes. There is a really small one with a petting zoo in Hastings. It is never super busy but it's really cute! We go there every year! So fun! I added some pics below. Then we spent all day Saturday packing up and moving boxes to storage which was quite challenging with a 2 year old! We finally sent him to MeeMee and Papa's for a nap and got lots done! We took 2 big trips out to the storage place. I feel much better than I did about this move. I think we are pretty organized! This Saturday we will move the rest and be out of the condo and into my parents! UGH! After a long day of moving, we took Ben's mom out for her b-day dinner! Tomorrow is her actual birthday. We went to Macaroni Grill with Ash and Jordan and the kids and then back to have cake! It was a great night!

My mom, Stacy, Kristin, Mary and I used to get together to make apple pies every fall. We haven't done it for awhile but when we were at the orchard on Friday, Kristin and I decided we should do it this year. So we loaded up on apples and made 13 pies today!! It was really fun! We each had a little station and made an assembly line! We had one for dessert and it was quite good! I didn't take any pics though :(

So I am wiped!!! But back to work tomorrow!!

Here is Grandma Jackie with Matthew and Kennedy and the cake! :)
Matthew chowing on an apple... how about the view behind him!!

Here is Matthew chucking apples! Had to take a picture before reprimanding him :) Heehee!

Posing for mommy!

Matthew thinks that he needs to hold Lukey riding in the wagon. He likes to hold him, like he's a baby... Luke actually weighs more than him! HA! :)
