Snowy December

We got some snow in December. The kids of course had fun playing. The snow lasts like a day then melts.

Their snowman. Not enough to make a big one. More like a snow mound..

Ready aim...

All fun and games till your brother nails you with a snowball

"Pretty Food"

Makenlee went through a phase a few months ago where she would not eat bananas. She used to LOVE them and then one day she would not eat them anymore. Well, I decided to give them a makeover and now she goobles them up. She also loves to eat stuff with toothpicks.

Makenlee, "Mommy make nanas pretty."

Kiwi got a pretty makeover too.

Try it and see if your kids like it too.

Hello, Long time no see

I have fallen off the face of the earth really I think I have at times. But such is life.....But I promise well, I can't promise but I will try and update the pics before 2010....

Does anyone care or even read this blog anymore?

If no one reads it then why bother!

Halloween week

These pics were over a few weeks....

We hit the zoo to see the animals and have some fun during Easton's Fall break a few weeks ago. Thks for the free pass Steph!

E in the chicken coop
We ALWAYS take a pic on this lion.

M making pizza in the kitchen

Don't they look so fallish...love it!

Then we hit a few Fall festivals the week of Halloween

The kids dressed up as Mickey and Minnie. E's costume still fit him from last yr but M's did not and neither did the outfit she is wearing. But oh, well... We went retro. I don't like busting out the real costumes till H-ween itself.

The kids got to ride horses

Fall Leaves

The leaves are turning and are falling. So Jon and the kids blew and raked leaves yesterday afternoon. What fun for the kids to play in the leaf pile.

So much fun to throw

Halloween 2009

My pics are out of order..what is new??

We had a fun yet soggy Halloween this year. Since a lot of churches are doing away with trunk or treats (which we love). We were left to good ol Trick or Treating. A friend invited us over to her very nice, safe, friendly neighborhood so we went...Kids had fun even in the rain....

The mob of kids getting candy

It is starting to rain but it is still fun.

"Oh, no rain."

Peter Pan

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

Scarecrow day

Again pics out of order...Just imagine they are in order...

I am room Mom in E's class. Can I just tell you how exciting and fun this is.

I love it. Anyway my first shin dig was helping w/ scarecrow day on the Friday before H-ween.

We had a lot of fun doing crafts, games, and more. I also got nominated to be the photographer too...So that was fun taking pics of all his friends.

It was so cute when I came in all the kids were like, "Easton it is your mommy." AHHHH!!! I know one day it won't be super cool to have Mom help in class so I cherish these times.

Easton's class

My lil scarecrow


Found one

Searching for the perfect pumpkin

E and Erin. These 2 are very smitten and inseparable....

Happy 1/2 B-day Makenlee

We celebrated Makenlee's 1/2 B-day today. We just made brownie cupcakes and sang to her..Well, I should say she sang along singing to herself...It was fun and now I have 3 months to plan the next REAL b-day in this house.

We went to the Disney Store for Halloween dress rehearsal so they stayed in costume....

This girl loves her cupcakes. She is a girl after her mommy's heart...

Fall is here...

I love fall...I never really experienced fall till we moved to TN 3 years ago....Can you believe it has been 3 years since we moved.

I love the leaves changing colors, the food, the festivals, the pumpkin patch, hay rides, the crisp fall air. Love it all..So fun...Here are the kids at a Fall festival we went to last Sunday.

That girl....

Please pray for this girl. For strength and patience for Jon and I...Help Jon and I see her beauty and sweetness in this season.....

Jesus she is your child and you gave her to us. She is a miracle help us hold onto that daily and conquer this mountain.

All ready to go to the store...

Are you ready for some football???

Easton and Jon (heck Makenlee too) are so excited to watch the Packers this season. Mommy is too I guess it gives me a little of 3 hours to do fun things...Can't complain.

The guys watching the opener against the Bears.

Easton was happy he got to stay up a little late and hang out w/ Daddy.

It was cute after maybe 1/2 hour he said,"Daddy I am getting tired. I need to get into bed to go night night."
