My Sweet Sweet Twin Boys!




Every mom needs to relax and have a break sometimes right? I came home from work tonight to two handsome boys all dressed up and signs directing me to a comfy spot on the couch with a blanket and pillow, hot cider and a fresh baked plate of chocolate cookies. To top it all off they also cleaned the whole house! I could not ask for better kids! I love you Brendon and Caleb!!

Open Door Pregnancy Care Center Run


Susan and some friends decided to put on a 5k race and 1.25 mile fun run/walk at the beginning of November. It had never been done before so they were starting from scratch. It ended up being a huge success with well over 100 people showing up. The weather was beautiful and the course was perfect. They ended up raising over$3000! They are going to try and do it again next year.

Thanks to Mom for making the registration flyer!

Rope Swingin' in Arkansas


I think Heather had as much fun as the kids

Uncle Jason getting some much appreciated help getting across with some splashing results! Unfortunately, I was too busy saving his life to get a picture

Brendon, Caleb, Trevin, Madison, Elise and Meryn all made it safely. I bet they could give Uncle Jason some pointers!


Arkansas Lankers

We went out to visit Jason, Heather and the girls this fall and went to this really cool drive through safari. We had a bunch of fun and saw some really unusual animals including this one.

Rare Albino Orangutan nearly fully evolved.

Crazy spider monkey








MMMM, You smell that boys....the smell of fear


Looks like one of the three little pigs is taunting the big bad wolves.

Fun Run

Susan, the kids and some friends, ran in a fun run this fall. They all had fun and are looking forward to the next one.

Fun At The Fair

Mommy and Meryn having fun
Brendon, Caleb and Trevin convinced Daddy to go on this ride. It was fun but Daddy can't handle these rides like he use to. I was ready to be done!

Visitors





I was mowing the yard and noticed a pile of fur under the grass. When I moved the top layer, there were 5 little rabbits all huddled together. I managed not to run over any with the mower and when the kids came home, they were still there. They had fun chasing, catching and trying to feed them, but Peter and his siblings decided they had had enough and were gone the next day.
