Fall



Sometimes I complain when it starts getting cold.  But Fall is like a breath of fresh air.  The kids are back in school from summer vacation and I feel like our days are a little more organized.  Although It's nice to have help when the older ones are home, Leiah and Ryker seem to be on a better schedule without everyone home during the day.  We love to play outside when it's not so hot and feel the crisp air and see the leaves change color.
I love to go pick pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch.  We don't get around to it every year, but I really wanted to get pictures of the little ones while they are still so small.  Although the wind just happened to pick up just as we arrived and I am not a professional photographer the pictures turned out ok, and I'm grateful that I have them.

Aubrie's Birthday

The last birthday of the year for our family.  Aubrie is officially our second teenager at 13, and anyone with girls knows what a girl of this age wants for her birthday, CLOTHES.    She has actually turned into GIRL.  As a child Aubrie always played with dogs, horses and legos, you would never have seen her with a doll or other girl toys. She loves to hang out with friends and go to the movie, however when she's home Aubrie still likes to keep to herself.

 To celebrate Aubrie wanted to go to Red Lobster for her birthday because she loves crab legs.  We all had a great time taking turns with the babies in the hall way.  Aubrie does not like cake or frosting, so I made her lemon bars for her birthday instead.
