Funny Faces

I tried a photo shoot with the kids to get some cute pictures for holiday gifts, and this was one of Jonathan's funny faces.

Here if Samantha's attempt at making a funny face like Jonathans!

Leaves and cousins

Jonathan and Samantha had a fun time playing in the leaves and Grandma's house with their cousins Nathan, Ryan and Annabel. They were covering eachother with leaves and laughing their heads off! Then they tried to bury each other.

Elk Drawing

I though it would be fun to add my drawings and paintings as I finish them. I did this drawing at Josh's request so that he could hang it in his office and show it off to people . . . so I said "of course"!

Halloween costumes

Jonathan was a ghost for Halloween this year, which was a pretty easy costume to whip out for a couple dollars. Samantha was planning on being a princess, and then we found our tigger costume. She was so excited to be Tigger until the week of Halloween when we found Jonathan's Bob the Builder costume from last year. The only way she wanted to go trick-or-treating was if she could be Bob! So, here she is. They went trick-or treating with their friends Cole and Braxton that live across the street.

The Pumpkin Patch

To get our pumpkins this year, went on a hay ride pulled by a tractor to a pumpkin patch. The kids loved it! Jonathan and Josh found a huge pumpkin to bring home. Samantha was content with a gourd (or however you spell it) that was green, orange and "just her size"!

Julia and Aliya - twins?

I finally got to see Becca and her baby girl Aliya in October. Julia and Aliya are only a few weeks apart, and they were born in April. It was so fun to see how similar they were - and how different!

Becca came to Church with us and one of the young women said "Whoa, that's freaky!" We look so much alike anyway, but now we have babies that look similar too.

Our Family

This is our most recent family picture. Our family is getting so big, and the kids are growing so fast! Katie Walker took this picture for us up by the cabin.
