BAD NEWS (everyone is okay)

So heather calls me the other day while I was in a meeting. I quickly ignore call with a text. She then sends me a text back and says, "Nobody's sick or hurt, but I have bad news!"

Makenzie's Birthday

Makenzie was so cute with her birthday this year. We let her pick her cupcake out and boy did she pick it. It was really fun to watch her eat/devour it. She got really messy, but that is part of the fun. Here are some pictures to view the joy.

She ended up picking the one that was on fire... surprise, surprise.

Omish face. (the beard)

This is what she did when I asked her how old she was. Smart girl.. Okay, she didn't really do that, but you wouldn't have known that if I didn't tell you.

Who's happy?

Clean up. She was so messy we had to hog tie her.

Her reaction to her present.

6 Month Review

I haven't tried this full out yet, but the idea is this... Every six months we spend a Saturday and Sunday watching and listening to speeches and talks given by the leaders in our church. I thought it would be a fun idea that my kids color pictures of themselves from memories that happened the last six months. So I took the picture into Photoshop and made it so it is like a coloring book sheet. I colored one myself, and I had a fun time doing it. I hope my kids think the same thing.
This is how you do it...

Family Home Evening

Kierra walking through the fun kid straw maze. It wasn't that big and it really took them 5 minutes to conquer .
Makenzie really took up with this pumpkin. She held it most the time we were collecting pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.

We had our first snow fall for the season the other day. We looked out and our neighbors tree was just beautiful with the red, green and white. I had to take a picture and Jeremy had to take and apple.
