Happy Thanksgiving 2010




I can not believe that I am catching up on pics and posts since Thanksgiving....eek! I had hostessed Thanksgiving for John's side of the family this year. This was the first year I had made a turkey which did not turn out to be all that difficult. While I was bathing the turkey Julia asked me where the eyes were and the warbly thing under the beak....lol The hard part was getting everything out at the same time and keeping it warm,but with my mother in laws help we worked well as a team! John did not want me to take a picture of the turkey so I only have the table pictures. We could not fit everyone in the dining room so we ended up putting the younger adults and children in the kitchen at their own table.

Happy Halloween!



Happy Hallooween!!!





Hope everyone had a scarey fun Halloween! I had so much fun this year! Evan got invited to a 7th grade costume party where they went trick or treating and partying afterwards. He had a pretty interesting costume this year......frightening for Julia and a little for me as well. We had our neighbors over for a little early dinner and then trick or treating afterwards. I love the night trick or treating with all of the lit up Jack o Lanterns and scarey houses! I guess there is safety in numbers because Julia was not nearly as afraid with all of her friends. Julia went trick or treating with our neighbors Evan, Lauren and Ethan. It was so much fun watching the kids run up to the door and barely reach the doorbell and try and negotiate how they were going to ring it. Evan came home from the party with 8 pounds of candy and Julia had her fair share as well. Looks as if I may have to donate some candy to work! I have enclosed some trick or treat pictures and one of the pictures was John and Evan in their masks

Apple Picking





We had such incredible weather here this weekend. I think it even hit 80. We decided to go apple picking. We went to one of the local orchards planning on picking a bushel but when we got there we found pretty slim pickings. Apparently this is the end of the season.....I guess the season started earlier this year. We did pick a 1/2 bushel of gold delicious and the other apples we purchased in their local store. We did find 3 nice pumpkins...Julia had so much fun walking through the fields and discovering grasshoppers and all kinds of other creatures along the way.

Evan's Volleyball Tournament


Last weekend was Evan's volleyball tournament.One game on Friday night and 3 games Saturday and 1 game on Sunday. It was so much fun watching the boys play. Their coach really has a passion for volleyball and does an excellent job!! The boys took second in their division.
