So Delicious looking...



I was just looking on the internet for ideas for neighborhood gifts for Christmas. I came across this cookie recipe. Doesn't that look divine. Here's the recipe they had. I have a recipe for those homemade Oreos that just uses a german choc. cake mix. I think I'll try that.

Tan Tan

I can't believe this little guy is going to be one next month. He is a total sweetheart! He loved riding in the cart with the pumpkins!

Pumpkin Patch


One of our newer family traditions is going to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. The kids have a blast! Fortunately we live about 5 minutes away from the coolest pumpkin patch ever. Each of us got to pick out our own pumpkin. Braeden and Carter identified theirs immediately. Carter's is short and round. Braeden went for the biggest one. Braeden found a cute little one for Tanner.

On to Warmer Weather





Ok, so our last post was our winter wonderland. We just got back from a 4 day trip to warmer weather. We had a nice, relaxing vacation. We had fun biking, swimming, exploring, going to the park, and just being together.

This is what we woke up to today.


There's something so exciting about the first snowfall. The boys had to go out and explore after church.

I've been tagged! Thanks Jen.

Jen, I've finally gotten around to doing this. It was harder than I thought.

List: 3 Joys, 3 Fears, 3 Goals, 3 Current Obsessions/Collections, 3 Facts About Yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names


THREE JOYS:
1-Seeing my kids accomplish and learn new things.
2-Long, hot baths or showers.
3-Hugs, kisses, cuddles, and loves from my boys.

THREE FEARS:
1-Driving into a body of water and having to get my kids out of their car seats in time to rescue them.
2-Heights
3-Embarrassing myself (done all too easily and frequently)

THREE GOALS:
1-Running a marathon (just accomplished that one)
2-Catching up on all my journaling and scrapbooking
3-Learning more about photography

THREE CURRENT OBSESSIONS:
1-Politics (I can't wait for this election to be over!)
2-Trying to figure out clothing and location for new family pictures.
3-Running and losing weight.

THREE FACTS ABOUT MYSELF:
1-I get stressed out way too easy.
2-I'm fairly frugale and love to stock up on food when it's on sale. I like knowing where the best deals are. I hate running out of food, so I love having a stocked food storage room.
3-I've always wanted twins (NOT any time soon!!!) just like my grandma did. Her twins (my uncles) where born on different days--one was born right before midnight and one right after. So, they have their own birthdays.
