Life!

I can tell that life is getting busy as I haven't posted in a month!  Here are some pictures to sum up our month.

The beginning of September our family was privileged to participate and help with the Angels of Hope Remembrance Walk.  Angels of Hope is a group for parents who have lost their babies.  It is a wonderful ministry that has been started through our church.   

The kids got to ride in the ranger and deliver water to all the walkers

The last of the balloons that we sent to heaven with little messages on them. 

Ellaree's teacher is wonderful.  She sends us updates and conversation starters each week with what they have done for the week and what is coming up for the following week.  This has been very helpful. Besides that she has also sent many pictures of the kids.  I love this as I can add these into her keepsake books that I make for her.

Back to school night

Ellaree with her fourth grade reading buddies

The little ones have been having a blast with all the rain we have had lately.  I believe some day when we go to redo our driveway we will have to keep the dips so that they still have their mud puddles.

Harry and Lorelai making "chocolate"

It took Harry 4 days but he got his puzzle put together all by himself. He was so proud of it.  Ever since he has been very busy with putting puzzles together.  He loves figuring things out.

During "school time" we practiced spelling and writing his name

Horse and Colt show weekend was lots of fun...Tilt-A-Whirl with Aunt Jen and Maddie

One proud little girl!

With Kynlee's dr. appts in our area we get lots of play time with her.  We love when she visits.

We went to Mt. Horeb and visited our dear friends. It was great getting a kid shot

Ellaree decided that mom and dad needed to have a birthday party.  So she had help from our friend Emily and planned, shopped and picked out everything for a party.  We invited a few friends from our church and had a grand time.  She picked out this yummy DQ cake all by herself.  She sure is growing up fast.

Ellaree loves to be organized and planned...just like momma.  

Ellaree came home with her first spelling test and it was 100%.  

Since then she has brought home another 100%

Fall fun with leaves is always a must!

Thanks to our friend Tina who let us come over and ride horses...Ellaree has been in heaven ever since riding

Lor would have stayed on Lily all day long also had she gotten the chance

The girls have a natural gate!

Mr. Harry needed Dad to make sure he stayed on the saddle but did a blast as well.

Love this picture

Just precious!
