Donuts and Halloween!

The last two years we have opted for a cousin Halloween party instead of trick or treating with the cousins. The favorite activity of everyone is the Donut eating contest!

Third times the Charm?!

Our poor accident prone Cassidy has done it again! A week before Halloween she was playing at our friends house, and fell off their playset ladder. She crashed on her chin and ended up with 6 stitches! You think that she would learn to be a little more cautious since this is the third trip we have made to the Doctor for stitches in just over a year!

Out with the Old..

In with the new! Last year we bought a 2004 Dodge Ram and have loved it... but, Gavin's new job requires him to have truck that is no more than five years old, and since the 2009's are coming out we had to buy a new truck. Exit 2004 truck, enter our new 2006 Dodge Ram MEGA CAB! My kids and Gavin obviously love it. The cab is HUGE, Kayden can't even put his feet on the back of our seats. We have truly spoiled ourselves this time as it has... heated leather seats, a navigation system, and a DVD player. As Kayden says, "It has everything that I wanted!"

Painting with Cousins!

We are lucky enough to have cousins that we love to play with! Here is a few shots of them painting model cars and birdhouses, it was so much fun!

Sept. 30, Dear Lucie...

Five years ago, my sister in law lost her sweet baby on Sept. 30 due to complications with the delivery. Each year since we have made a blanket and donated it to the hospital where she was born. Their family has moved to NY so Mandy and I have continued this tradition. Happy 5th Birthday Lucie! Love, us.

Finally...

Several friends and family members have told me that I need to start a blog. I have been putting it off because my daughter conveniently washed my digital camera, but I can't blame it on that anymore as I have a CD full of pictures from my sisters that I borrowed/stole for the last month or so. (Thanks Rach!) Enjoy our family blog!
