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!

Crazy May

As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :) Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :) We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :) Maybe some day!
