The First Snow!

We had an amazing first snow this year - 12 inches of heavy, wet, beautiful snow! Lots of tree limbs came down around town, fortunately we only lost one in the backyard. When all the snow melts we will have to see if there is any more damage.

Nate had the day off, so we had a very nice day at home together - played in the snow, helped the neighbors, had Lori and her doggies over for the night (she had no power and a power line in her yard), and had a fire buring most of the day. It was a wonderful day! I love snow days!!

I took this picture on Tuesday, the day before the snow came. I was so enjoying the beautiful yellow glow the trees were giving off! The tree with the tire swing is the same one in the picture below, behind Joshua! That is how heavy the snow was!

Bike rider!

Joshua LOVES being outside, it is something that always makes him happy. He especially loves bike rides - these pictures are of his first time riding on the back of daddy's bike (the helmet looks a little big, not sure how much it will help but he sure looks cute and loves it!). Of course he had to help daddy get it all ready too!

Friends, what could be better?!

We had a wonderful day with the Freeman's a while back. We met half way between our houses and spent the day playing together. I value the friendships that God has brought into my life - what a blessing!

Exploring the old mines...very cool!

I love how the kids just set themselves up like this - they have a lot of experience posing for the camera!

We all piled in the back of the truck as we went up the 4 wheel drive road, smiles al around!

What happens when Sandra gets ahold of my camera!? Silly lady!!

Brian couldn't wipe the smile off his face, he loves his truck!!

Fall is a Favorite!

Every year I have to take tons of pictures of fun in the fall. It is my favorite season! The trees in the backyard haven't fallen yet and we have not gotten to a pumpkin patch yet, so I am sure there will be many more pictures to come!

Have to love good garage sale finds! I got this cute tractor for $10 at a garage sale (it even has a wagon that attaches to the back - love that!). They were asking more but I took a stab at a lower price and thankfully there was a husband there who took my offer, his wife looked a little miffed at him, but I was excited! ;)

More Fall Beauty!

We went up to the mountains a few weeks ago to behold the beauty of Fall. I am in awe of how beautiful God has made the world for us to enjoy and even though it happens every year, I never tire of it. Thank you Jesus, for your beauty, not just in creation, but in who you are.

Just plain cute!

Haven't updated in a while and thought I would just share some cute moments of life around here! Enjoy...

Elizabeth was very proud of the pies she made for she and Sarah!

A big helper!

What we love to do every day!
