ABC Gum anyone?

Bubble Gum by the Foot.......whoever came up with this idea must have had a much larger mouth than Coleby. But he enjoyed trying to make it fit anyway. 4 ft. of sticky stuff all shoved into one 10 year olds mouth. WOW!!!

Anyone like ABC gum. We have enough to share with your whole family :)

Grandmas House

We were fortunate enough to spend some time with Grandma Jenks this last weekend. Like always, we ate too much, slept too little and the kids had a BLAST. We Loved it!

Coleby still loves to cuddle his Grandma. I'm so grateful he gets to have her in his life. This picture is priceless.

Becca and Aymree had a Grandma style bubble bath. Everything was wet, especially Aunt Kim.

Grandma called me yesterday to apologize for not feeding us. Are you kidding me? I gained 5 lbs. atleast. Sweet Grandma always has been the worlds best hostess. We even left with the famous cereal/treat baggies decked out with names and smiley faces for the drive home.

We Love You Grandma!!!

It's Autumn Time

I've always loved autumn time. The colors and vibrancy of nature are a reassurance that we have a truely Great Creator. In nothing else can we find such beauty in the end of something.

Our family hasn't had a real family photo for about a decade. I know thats awful. I take pictures of the kids a lot but the family thing just hasn't happened, until now. This autumn I decided we needed to cature two of my most favorite things. My family and this gorgeous season.

My good friend, Ashley, took some shots of us near our home. Thanks Ashley! We actually did it...all 6 of us. :)

Football is winding down. Hooray!!!

Monday Night we had a football party for Coleby's team (the Browns). They just finished their first season. They learned tons and had a blast.

Diving into water is less painful than diving into a kid twice your size, but far less "Manly"

The kids loved the climbing wall. They had a hard time leaving the competition on the field :)

Camerons football also ended and he is thrilled to be doing what he loves most.... enjoying the great outdoors.

This is Cameron's new dog K.D. and he Loves her! I think Cam is the greatest sport ever. He lets his dog wear a pink collar so she can stay in touch with her feminine side. One day this dogs pups will pay for Camerons Mission!

Nice pheasants bud! But aren't you supposed to be at school right now?

When mammas away the mice will play...........Dress up the little brother!

Crazy Storm

We've had the strangest weather this week. Sun, clouds, hot temps., hale, wind. Tuesday we had the most incredible storm I've ever seen. We could visibly see the hot and cold fronts battling. The clouds were absolutely beautiful.
This photo was taken about 3 miles outside of town.

This was underneath the clouds. It wasn't night time. The darkness was only from storm.

The colors were amazing, ranging from black to brilliant pinks and oranges.

"Me Time" and lovin' it

Two of my favorite things to do when I make a little bit of the very rare "ME TIME"......
















Indulge in a porch reading. This IS why I built my porch.

Cuddle time with my hubby. He beats any blanket or Teddy Bear.

I've enjoyed both this week. Life is good folks. :) Hope you all can steal a relaxing moment too.
