Picking out the Hay Family Christmas Tree

"We're kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols."

"Mooo-VEe!"

Go Bills! (please!)

Molly took my hat, put it on herself and did not want to take it back off again. Maybe it was her way to try to send some good mojo to our winless Bills.

 

Happy Halloween!

 

Pumpkin Carving Round Two

 

 

 

 

Pumpkins 2010

Here are the results of our pumpkin carving party. From the left...Justin's pumpkin scarecrow, Danielle's racoon in a jack-o-lantern, Raynette's Boo Face and Mark's spider.

 

Pumpkin Picking

It did not take Molly long to find a pumpkin that she liked today at the patch.

 

Weeee!!!

This slide might prove to be the best 15 bucks that Danielle has ever spent. Molly almost wore out the slide this weekend. Here she works on her feet first belly slide.

Pay Attention to Me!

Someday Molly won't have to try so hard to get the attention of the boys like she does here with Jack.
 
 
 

Rockin' the Pigtails!

 

Molly and Elmo

Molly has been all about her Elmo lately. She dresses him, reads to him, tries to feed him etc.

Schroon Lake

We recently spent a weekend at our friend Chad's camp on Schroon Lake. Just spent the time relaxing by the water, riding jet skis, playing in the sand, eating good food and enjoying the company of a bunch of my friends from work. Molly made lots of new friends...quickly as you can tell in some of the pictures.

Molly's First Camping Trip

We took Molly on her first camping trip to Delta Lake State Park. She "roughed" it for two nights in a tent, came home with a few bug bites and scratches but had a great time. Her favorite parts were wading in the lake, trip to the Utica Zoo, collecting rocks and playing inside the tent. She is definitely a lover of the great outdoors.

Birds

We have a lot of nesting boxes around. Most of them are being used by either wrens or swallows but one is being used by a pair of Bluebirds. They have 3 chicks that are just about ready to leave the nest. We find Robin nests all over including this one on a wood pile in the shed. This picture was taken a day or two before they decided the nest was too crowded and left.
