Annual Trick or Treat

Our weekend started on Saturday morning with a soccer game - with gale-force winds and chilly temps! But, this crew was excited to be together.

Connor played a great game!! These crazies created a blanket-fort.

Then we got to go to Aunt Michelle's house to warm up and eat brunch. Chloe and Linlee had a good time together :)

Then, we headed to the pumpkin patch!

This was a new thing at the pumpkin patch: inflatable horses. Bill challenged Kevin (who couldn't turn him down) and the video I took is HILARIOUS. Ask me to see it, and I'll gladly show you. My dear husband asked me not to post it on the world wide web. ;)

Chloe was the perfect size for the smaller horse - check out her look of determination!

I think father & son look a lot alike in this picture!

After a quick break and dinner, we got ready for trick-or-treat!

Chloe ~ Belle

April ~ Princess Frostine, from CandyLand

Peter ~ a reluctant Thomas the Train

Linlee ~ smart baby who skipped the cold :)

What was the best part of the weekend? Seeing this little chickee being baptized, welcoming her into the covenant family! We had a fun family lunch afterwards :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop. For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
