Happy Thanksgiving

We hope you all had a great turkey day. We actually stayed home this year which is unusual for us. Grandma Sylvia & Billy came over and we cooked up a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. We had a nice relaxing day hanging around the house. The sun even popped out long enough to open the front door & enjoy the fall air.

It has worked out well that we are home this weekend, Cameron is spending his last day being 9 and looking forward to his 10th birthday tomorrow. Hmm, I wonder whats in store for him....we'll have to wait & see!

Camping at last

It seems like it's been forever since we've been anywhere. Finally over Veteran's weekend we were able to go camping. It rained the first day which made for perfect riding conditions the rest of the weekend. We ran into several friends and had a great time riding & wheeling! It was so great to relax & get away.

Now only 2 more days of school/work, then off for 5 days for Thanksgiving break & celebrating Cameron's birthday.

Keeping Busy

We've been keeping around here trying to get our little landscape area complete enough atleast not to be a mud pit for the winter. We've decided to plant in the spring because we feel if we try to do it now (before it gets to cold) we will be rushing and not make great decisions. Eddie worked to put all our drainage in to route the rain water away from the house which was a big chore so we feel good getting that done.
Cameron & Eddie took a break to help out our neighbors who were shoveling their rock by hand. Cameron got their driveway looking great in a matter of hours. What great neighbors we are :-)

Good thing Eddie wasn't home to see this. She's not supposed to be on the furniture but how cute ?!
One high priority project was to get our path leading from the driveway to the backyard done before the rainy weather. We got it shaped and the base rock done on Sunday. (Loved the extra hour from the time change)


It's so tempting to rush and get things planted. We have several steps to complete before we are at the planting stage so I know not rushing is a good choice. More to come....

Candy Time

We had a great time out trick-or-treating. We went to our usual location and the kids nabbed up some good candy. Billy even made it out to join in on the fun.



Cameron's birthday & Thanksgiving are just around the corner. Pretty soon we'll be singing Christmas carols! Happy Halloween everybody!

Harvest Time

Fall is here. Time to get ready for Halloween. We went to a great Fall Festival where we picked our pumpkins, made candles & did a hay maze.

Carving the creations
On our way to a carnival at the school. It was an amazing carnival, they went all out!
