Halloween

This is what Halloween looked like for us this year!

This picture makes me smile. I think she is saying, "you lookin at me?"

Blakes work Halloween party is always a hit.

So glad Dad took them out this year..it was cold..and rainy..yuck!

My little Buzz Lightyear and Jessie.

Snowball fight in OCTOBER!

We decided to go to Wheeler Farm to see the witches with Grandpa and Grandma the day after the snow storm. Not the best conditions. When we were leaving I looked back to see Owen and Grandma in the middle of a snowball fight so I couldn't resist getting the camera. Grandma Maureen is so great with the kids and she is always coming up with some kind of game to play with the kids. They are going to miss her dearly when she heads back to Canada!

Such concentration!

Love this picture..shows just how much fun he is having!

WE LOVE GRANDPARENTS!!!!

Blake's parents came for a visit and to meet Tessa. They are such a great help and the kids LOVE playing with them.

Both Owen and Ella were a little scared of the geese (as they should be..they seem to be a little agressive at Wheeler Farm)! Maureen kept explaining to Owen to just tell the geese to "keep moving"!

Owen loves dirt. If I was in Owen's head I think I would hear something like this. "The animals are kind of boring right now. I'm going to play with dirt instead and I'm going to get Ella to play with dirt too! Lets see exactly how dirty we can get before we have to go home!"

Oh yeah dirt is so FUN!

Yep thats my son..kissing a dirty, stinky, yucky goat!

This is proof of Owen pushing Ella head first off this log.

Fun Thursday

My sister and I (along with my mom) decided to go to This is the Place Heritage Park for a little Halloween fun. It was really fun. They had this big train we rode around, a little train, face painting, trick or treating, and pony rides. Plus lots more but we only had a few hours. It was great to have my mom there too..always so much help!

34!

Blake turned 34 yesterday! I am so thankful everyday that I married such a wonderful man. And on a side note Miss Tessa found her smile! (she has actually been smiling a while now.)

In true daddy fashion he let the kids blow out the candles. It was fun this year to get ready for Blakes birthday because Owen really gets it. They both helped me make the cake.

Tess's Newborn Photos

Skye Johansen took Ella's newborn pics and so we had her take Tessa's as well. They turned out really cute and we also got a couple of Owen and Ella too!

Maybe my favorite picture of Blake!

You might be seeing this one on a Christmas Card:)
