Shaelyn starts to crawl!!

Shaelyn started crawling this evening. We'll really have to keep track of her now!! It was rainy off and on today so we stayed inside and went through some stuff in the basement while the kids played. Kevin and Jody and the kids came over for supper and the evening. We had a fire in the fireplace. Then while we were sitting around in the living room, we put the cell phone with music playing on the floor and Shaelyn crawled over to it and would play with it. That kept us entertained for a while. She would get mad when the music would stop or you took the phone away from her.

Leaf Relocation

Saturday we mowed over the leaves that were on the lawns. It wasn't the greatest day to do it because they were still wet from the rain we had the past couple of days, but at least there won't be as many to pick up the next time. Bronson came over on Saturday to play with Paxton. They seemed to have fun playing outside and inside. Saturday we also got some bushes to put around the almost completed new deck. They had a nice end of the season sale!! Sunday after gospel meeting there was a potluck for Jed. He is headed back West. Good Luck Jed & we'll miss you!!
Leaves, Leaves everywhere

Halloween Weekend

Last Friday afternoon Mark and Sara and their kids came over for a few hours to play. The kids had a blast playing out side. The weather was sooooo nice!! After they left, Claude and Rebekah came to stay with us for the weekend. That evening we headed down to the barn for the Halloween potluck get together. The kids all had their costumes on and quite a few of the adults did as well. After eating they had a haunted house downstairs in the barn, then there was a hayride and fireworks. It was a great evening!! Saturday a bunch of us went down to Kevin and Jody's for the day. There was more eating and then we played hide and go seek with some RTV's and fourwheelers. It was another fun time with everybody. Al and Stephanie also stayed with us on Saturday night. Sunday was union meeting and potluck at Kevin and Jody's and then gospel meeting.
