We miss Bekah!!!

A few weeks ago we had a visit from our good friend Nathan while he took boards. He didn't bring his wife. So, to make her feel bad, here are pics of Nathan and the super cute kids that she didn't get to see.
Corban LOVES Nathan. For a few days after he left, everytime the doorbell rang he would say "IT'S NATHAN!!"You better come next time Bekah!!





A Day at the Park

A couple of weeks ago, we took advantage of the nice weather and spent the morning at the park. Here are a few pics of our day. Quinn and Porter (thank you Nana for the hats. )

So, people say that Corban looks like me and Porter looks like Quinn. What do you think?


I just love this shot.





For Michelle

Hey, I'm posting. Kiss it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Who says that Halloween can't come a week before Thanksgiving?

This is the costume that I got for Porter. He couldn't move in it so we had to go with something else
The family at Trunk-r-Treat. My little cow and monkey. Then my Scottish hunk. Hey. . . what Do they wear under their kilts? hummmm

Who's a Monkey???



Corban and Daddy shooting the Nerf gun.



Corban at the trunk-r-treat. Then he realized that this moved.



Not to sure of what to think of the skeleton.





The cutest cow in the herd.








Draw a little beard on Porter and you have little Quinn.






Do you think he had a good time?







And who says that cows sleep standing up?

Paris

So my sister, I and my nephew Caden were able to take a quick train to Paris for a few days. Here are a few pics of the famous sites. The Louvre was BY FAR my fave thing. I can't even begin to explain how awesome it was. I'm not a huge art fan or anything else like that, but I stood in awe for over 2 hours (And we saw 1/2 of one of the three floors). Outside of the art and the history, the building it's self is breath taking. AMAZING!! I will never forget it. Thank you to Misty and Turbo Jr. for making it such a great trip.

Just a week or two in Europe. . .

As many of you know, I was BLESSED to be able to go see my sister who lives in Germany. WOW!!! Outside a few sick kiddos, everything was WONDERFUL! These pics are in no real order since I seem to be blogspot stupid and can't figure it out.



It was a LITTLE cold in Rothenburg (this darling town about 2hours outside of Frankfurt)


This is the outside of our hotel in Rothenburg.




The city of Rothenburg is within a stone wall, this is the view from across the street from our hotel room. I just wanted to start singing "The hills are alive. . . "


We went on a Rhine river cruise and stopped off to see a castle. It just amazes me that these things are still standing after like 400 years. (And they have had electricity added)








Corban waiting for "my plane, my plane!!!" Not quite the same feeling 5 hours into the flight.
More to come!!

Pumpkin pickin'





Yesterday we all went to the pumpkin patch so kids (aka Corban and Quinn) could get a pumpkin. Here are a few photos of the event. Notice the size of the pumpkins. I think that we went to the "Pumpkins on Steriods Patch" by accident. They are almost the same size as Corban.

Let the Fun Begin!!

Okay, pick yourself up off the floor. I started my blog. Shocking I know. Just a heads up, I'm not promising anything fancy, timely, or of good taste.
I've always wanted to have a blog but I kept saying that I would start when something exciting happened. (Because the birth of my second son just wasn't enough). But here I am. Ready to commit to the world of blogging.
