Meal Time!

A messy, but happy, Johnny. After enjoying a bowl of homemade macaroni & cheese he decided to wear the bowl as a hat and loved the reaction he got from his siblings.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We were kept super busy with the Primary Program, PTO Carnival and class parties. We ended up with really nice weather on Halloween night. I took the kids trick-or treating while Kevin manned our door (and tried to scare the trick-or-treaters).

Geocaching

Some pictures from a fall geocaching trip we took. I think we had crossed over into Wyoming when we took these.





Playing in a stream.

Julia's Island:
My kids are huge fans of Gillian's Island. They are always quoting the very wise Mr. Howell or singing, "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..." So when Julia saw this patch of grass in the stream she was so excited to have her own island.

Harvest 2009

As a child, I spent many a hour complaining while weeding our huge vegetable garden. Now I love gardening. My children are surprisingly really good at helping me plant, weed and harvest and they get so excited to see our garden's progress. No fall is complete without canning. I made spaghetti sauce, peach jam and apple sauce this year.

Family Reunion - August 2009

We had the greatest opportunity to be all together with my family. Our reunion only lasted for a weekend, but we had made some great memories and just enjoyed being together.

Boys will be boys
Josh and Anthony discovered colonies of salamanders living in the sprinkler boxes at the park we visited. Slimy things = hours of fun!
