Fall Leaves 2009

Andrew loves to climb trees, play outside and pet the kitties. What a lucky guy that he can spend time at Grandpa and Grandma's house doing just those things.

Miss Tulare County 2009 and Andrew!

Andrew was delighted to have this photo taken with Miss Tulare County 2009-Sara Risvold. As Sara walked by in her beautiful dress and crown, Andrew exclaimed, "Wow, Sara!". He then followed her to tell her she had on a "really pretty dress". He was so pleased to have his photo taken with her, I think his smile tells the rest of the story.

Veteran's Day

Happy Veteran's Day. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all our veterans and May God Bless America.

The boys scout troop is very active for the Veteran's Day Parade and spend the entire day working the parade and helping to run errands and make things go smoothly. We were fortunate enough to have Miss Tulare County 2009-Sara Risvold join us for a photo.
Ray and Grant carrying one of many award banners for the parade. Ray is thrilled to have his photo taken.

James and Ty carrying another banner. Smile James!

Thomas being adorable while waiting for the parade to begin.

My trio of girls giggling and laughing together while waiting for the parade. Our wonderful friend, Mary Beth, is spending the week with us.

Happy Veteran's Day!

The finished pumpkins!

Well, this is almost all the pumpkins. Christin made a beautiful cat, Ray was pretending to be the headless horseman, Andrew made a face on his-his very first time to carve a pumpkin! I don't have a finished photo of James' pumpkin and Morgan's was the cat face in the last post.

Pumpkins anyone?

We had great plans for celebrating All Saints Day on Nov. 1st but with all the kids and myself sick, we cancelled that event. Thanks to terrific grandparents, those who weren't sick on Halloween were able to carve pumpkins.

Lots and lots of hard work produced some beautful pumpkins.
