Pumpkin Decorating

The kids just couldn't wait to decorate their pumpkins they got at the pumpkin patch! So, I turned them loose with some paint and glitter and here are their creations..........

 I think they did a great job! so cute!

Pumpkin Patch

It is that time of year!! Yay!! We went out to the pumpkin patch with Mim and Bri to go on a hayride, frolic through a corn maze, see all kinds of animals, and of course pick out pumpkins! We had a blast as always!

Learning to Play........

Matthew has for a long time now been wanting to learn how to play the guitar. So today actually, he went over to my guitar and picked it up. He said "Come on mom, let's play"! Okay! He loved every minute of his lesson with me. We are of course just starting with the basics of how to hold it properly but he loved it! At the end, I just let him strum away ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Are Ready........

to TRAVEL and CAMP!!!

 

Here is our first travel trailer or camper if you will! We are so excited and we can't wait to get out on the open road and see where she takes us!!  I know some little people who are so very excited and are already begging us to sleep out there :) 

Field Trip to the WWII Ship

I took the kids downtown to tour a WWII ship that was docked at Riverfront Park! They loved it including myself! We saw lots of neat things and learned a ton! The kids did excellent and asked a million questions and even spoke with some of the men that ran the ship. What a fun field trip!

Fall Creek Falls

Bri and I along with friends ventured out to Fall Creek Falls! What a great time we had camping and hiking! We ate yummy food by the camp fire and enjoyed each others company! The scenery there is beautiful and the hiking is great! We will definitely be going back!
