Fall, Pumpkin Patches, and Us

It is Fall.

We have gone to the Pumpkin Patch on a Homeschool Field Trip

Benen played another season of soccer

We read The Pumpkin Patch Parable, and put a smile on our pumpkins just like God puts a smile and light on and in us.

I have enjoyed some DP and fancy blue nails.

We enjoy dinner and dessert, together. 

Enjoy worshipping through serving (riverKIDS) with this group of ladies.

.... and sometimes you need to put a mustache tattoo on your finger and be silly.

Easter 2011

The week of Easter (last week) I got super sick. I have not been that sick sense high school. I got strep so bad that I could not swallowing without being in large amounts of pain, so I did not eat or drink anything for a few days - great diet plan not great health plan. After a trip to the ER and a shot that did not work, and then another trip the Urgent Care and two more shots, and three medication that worked I am much better.

 All that to say that we did not do a whole lot for Easter. I had plans of doing some fun crafts with the kids, but God had plans for me to rest. We did make it out to my parents house Easter Sunday and enjoyed some family time. The big kids and Matt went to church and enjoyed celebrating our Saviors resurrection with family of choice. So here are the few pictures that I have:

Christmas 2010

Christmas was interesting this year - at least Christmas Eve was interesting - but more on that later. For now just enjoy a picture recap of our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve:

We went to my grandparents house (Grumpy and Great Grandma Jo) and had shrimp and crab for dinner (one of my favorite meals all year - we have been doing this as long as I can remember).

Matt played at the Christmas Eve service at church and joined us later.

Christmas Day:

We opened presents at our house.

Got dressed and went to Papa and Grandma's house.

Opened presents there.

Eat smoked beef brisket and yummy sides for a late lunch.

Made Jesus a birthday cake and celebrated his birthday.

Thankful Thursday - Labor Day Camping Trip

This week I am thankful for a little camping trip we got to take over Labor Day Weekend.

I am thankful that Anna got to shoot daddies pellet gun...

...and that Benen also got to shoot it.

 I am thankful that we got to enjoy some family time and go walking by the creek.

I am thankful that the kids got to go on a nature survival hike.

I am thankful for my little princesses that loves to talk and listen to people.

I am thankful for my little man that is along for the ride even if he is in his own world.

I am thankful for the trooper that Somer Joy was; even though she does not look to happy in this picture she was awesome all 5 days we were camping.
