Uncle ken's birthday

We are so blessed to have another year to celebrate with uncle Ken! This year is going to be great!

Fall time

We has lots of little helpers with the leaves this year! Cleaning up the leaves in this house is on going for months. One day you think we got them all and then the wind comes... and it looks like you didn't do anything. So, I was so grateful for all the extra hands that made this big job a little lighter! We also got to walk around Sandy Ridge many times this fall. I'm so grateful for the beauty around me that I get to enjoy every day.

Halloween!

Abby's first real trick or treat!
Tanya carved the cute pumpkins outside my parents home
The mean Dragon and the cute 50's girl
We stopped by grandma Jo's and Grandpa Mike's to drop off some treats and they had a few tricks for us.
Another year of bucket's full of candy and a huge sense of accomplishment from these two. Since I didn't want them to eat all of those lovely treats this year, I made a deal with them. They got to pick 10 pieces of candy and then they traded it in for a movie for each of them. I think it worked out well for both us. I didn't get sick kids and they both got a movie that they had wanted! Joy for everyone! It is always so nice when it turns out that way!
