Some nice Fall Moments (AKA: Blog catch up!)

The kids lovin' on each other

Kayaking our nice FULL pond, before the Beaver had to be trapped by the town. :(

The water was SO high, and we loved it for kayaking!
Unfortunately, it was also breaking up our road and the town put a stop to that by breaking the dam and trapping the Beaver.  


Halloween Prep!


Cora and ollie tried to have a "sleepover"
They didn't last too long.  haha

We had our friends, Scott's colleagues, over for dinner
Fun night!

Cora bought Ollie this Rocket Sleeping Bag with her own money

We visited Benson Park and the 911 Memorial

I swam the end of Lisa's mini-triathlon with her

Black out for Cancer Football Game


Free Photo Booth at the Game

It's rare that our dinner table looks so calm, so I had to take a picture

We celebrated the library's 150th with them

The boys got to finally go to an MTG pre-release in person!!

They earned the money for it before COVID and have been so patient.

Ollie and I love to see the machines in the Ashton Park neighborhood.
The dump trucks were awesome!

I love this year spending time alone with my little buddy

His new costume!

Ollie loves puzzles when you tell him where to put the pieces

Bonfire with the Littles



I took the littles to the corn maze and Hay ride at Elwood Orchards

We had honey sticks and took donuts home to the family

The tractor ride view was beautiful

I didn't want to get lost in the maze, so we took ALL RIGHT turns and sang Choose the Right

Once we started looping, we did ALL LEFT turns and ......

Thought we were just going to back to the beginning, but found the secret exit!!

The wedding reception at the Miners



Here's the old shed my neighbor gave me!

It's silly to have two sheds.....I know....but more storage is more storage!

I painted the inside and vaccuumed up all the mousy that I could.


For now, the kids are using it to have a place to play. :)

Last Friday after such a great day....I just got the car back from the shop....all ready for winter.  The kids had their piano lessons, the older boys made it off to the temple, and on the way home.....

We were rear-ended at a stoplight and the car totaled.
Not what I needed right now.
Of course, most importantly is that we are all healthy and doing OK.  
No car though.  Three days no car was fine. No idea how I'm getting tomorrow done though.  
I have too many appointments and Scott needs his car.

Last Saturday, Tim got to run in a tri-county meet.  
He enjoyed it a lot and got a new T-shirt to commemorate the day.
Cora brought Anna to play and they spent the whole day together.



Last night, I got to see some friends who have moved.  It was really fun to sit and chat.

I think we're all up to date now!!  ha!
