Disney, here we come!!!

9 DAYS AND COUNTING!! We are so excited to be going to Disney world!!! If you know anything about our family, we do not do vacations, so this has been a long time coming for us! It is also an extended family and friend trip. I think there are 20 people going total, but we won't all be sticking together all the time....we are so excited! I will have a huge blog when we get back!

Parties, parties!!

Okay, this is a long post again, and it's in somewhat random order, so bear with me! Up above is the kids trick or treating at my parent's house...





The first house we went trick or treating to (GG's!) Curt dug out his sucker and helped himself...and seemed rather proud of himself!




Tinkerbell, Sleeping Beauty and the giraffe....


Kylie's Pumpkin party at school.




Oh, so cute!


Best part of fall, jumping in the leaves!


Our church's fall fest. We had a face painting booth...I made Curt get his face done...


This was our Sunday School classes fall party on the farm.


Our pumpkins!! Can you guess who we made!



Alexis thought she wanted to eat the pumpkins....oh, wait, never mind!



Yes, all the kids dug in the pumpkins!!


We went camping!!! Kylie LOVED it!! Curt wasn't crazy about it, but tolerated it...Our friends Mark and Carrie came out for a while, but didn't stay. (Chuck called them Eric and Kari once! Oops!)


The girls climbing a tree with help from Mark.


I think we overpacked a little for a 24 hour camping trip!


Oh, it felt so good to get the boats out!! It's been a long time!



We went on a 45 min. hike through the trails with Kylie in the lead!


I didn't think he'd like it, but Curt loved his hiking backpack.



This is Kylie's class trip to the pumpkin patch...Curt liked it too...

So much to blog about

I'm SO SO behind on my blogging, I'm just going to do a big long post!!

Okay, here we go....we went to Chuck's fall party at his work. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it! Curt of course loved the slide!



When Kylie saw the cotton candy, her words were, "Mom, can I have some, it's my favorite! Well, I've never really had it, but it's my favorite!" Needless to say, it was a hit. Oh, I didn't get a picture of it, but Curt was terrified of the dunking booth!! Every time someone would get dunked, he would scream and cry and bury his head...and this was a long way off too, not standing right next to it!






My niece, Karalyn, turned 3!! I can't believe she is that big!





The kids decorated cupcakes....well, all but Curt....he said to heck with this, it doesn't need icing...and he just ate the cupcake!



4 generations!



sibling love...I think this lasted for about 2 seconds....


I put these next pictures on here because I am chairman of the book fair for Kylie's school for the next 20 years....(I've heard if you do a good job, you get the job forever or until you give it up) It was a lot of work, but it was so much fun and we earned a lot of money for her school.


Yes, I made the bus....I was quite proud of my zebra safari bus!! We donated it to the drama class after we were done.



We took the kids to the zoo a while back, and yes, we did take pics of the kids, but
chuck was so proud of this picture he took with his new camera!
