Family Pictures, bet you can't wait...

I told you that as soon as we got these, I would show them off, we here they are. There were SO many great ones, that this is just a glimpse...

By the way, that water was like 2 degrees!! BRRRR

There were like 200 plus pictures to choose from, so sorry so many on here, but it is so hard choosing, I still have many more GREAT ones!!

something new

Well, after receiving some grief from my family members, (you know who you are...) I am updating that we got some family pictures and some pictures of the girls taken yesterday. It was such a nice day, absolutely beautiful!! I thought that giving the girls a nap would make them much happier before pictures, and all Anna wanted to do was "up mama"! That figures! She finally did "lighten up" (literally too) and we got some great pictures! I haven't actually seen them, but I can't imagine some of them not being great! And Abbi just wanted her pictures taken with our friends the Norton's. And their daughter Abi wanted her picture taken with us!! We should have switched them to see if anyone noticed....just kidding! I'll post the pictures when I get them, I'm so excited to see them!! By the way, we did get some of Abbi and Abi together, they are a cute pair of friends!!

It's a jungle out there!

Here is a close up of our Elephant adn Monkey we had hanging around Saturday night!!

Sorry it is sideways, but here they are in "full length"

Abbi and Anna loved trick or treating! Anna kept saying "next house" and Abbi didn't understand why we couldn't go to every house!! She insists that she saw lights on in every house! Brent and I decided to cherish the fact that this may be the last year of innocence for Abbi, as next year she will be in Kindergarten and will probably want to be what is "in" for the year!

Happy Halloween!!

This one Kelly (a friend of mine) and I did, I know it is sideways, but it is supposed to be an "OH NO" pumpkin!!

This one is Anna's spider pumpkin, again it is sideways, sorry!

This is Abbi's scarecrow pumpkin. She had a cool green pumpkin!

Anna LOVED digging out the insides of the pumpkin!!

Abbi preferred to use the "tool" for that. She did use her hands some, but she didn't like it as much as Anna!

Applesauce

This is only about one third of the applesauce I made this year! I made 5 bushel into applesauce! YUMMY!!!

Jun visits in September!!

Well, some of you may know that Brent went to Japan on a Missions trip in 2000. While there, he became very close friends with Jun. Well, they haven't seen each other in 9 years, and Jun had the oportunity to visit Lafayette, IN in Sept! Abbi loved to hear him speak English and Jun tried teaching her some Japanese. One thing I learned was that Jun loved American food, especially apple crisp!!
