Punkin' Patch with the kiddos

We took the kids to Linder Farms in Kuna, ID, for our yearly trip to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out our pumpkins to carve. We love going there. It is an LDS family who owns it that started out with just a field of pumpkins to sell and now they have a huge operation. It grows bigger and bigger every year. We enjoy seeing the progress. They have a hay ride, big bouncy toys, concessions, a kiddie train ride, corn maze, and more. It is fun. We went with some friends, the Binghams, for FHE.

Woodbadge Beading for Ryan

Ryan attended Woodbadge Scout Training in September of 2006 and accomplished the "Working his Ticket"portion of the Training earlier this year. He finally was able to get his beads and had a ceremony for that. His Buffalo Patrol was in attendance as well as some family members. His sister, RaNell, also is a Woodbadger and was there.

Halloween 2008!

Here is our crazy crew! We all like to dress up for Halloween. Ryan was a Plummer, Lauren was Hannah Montana, Shaye was a Pirate, Danielle was an Oriental Princess, Brooklyn was a Ladybug, Jaedyn was a nice Witch, and I was a Doctor.

We went to our yearly Trunk-or-Treat at our church and then visited a few neighbors and family/friends. After our feet had had enough walking we came home to enjoy pizza and a movie. We had a fun Holiday!

Our recent family pics!

This is our clan. We just had these pictures taken last week, Oct. 28, 2008. We were pleasantly pleased with how they turned out.

L - R: Danielle - 9 yrs. old, Ryan, Brooklyn - almost 5 months old, Shaye - 12 years old, Keri, Jaedyn - 3 1/2 years old, Lauren - 7 1/2 years old.

We ran short on time after taking an hour to do a lot of girls' hair and it clouded over that day leaving us not much time before it darkened. So we ended up with only being able to take three poses and hope that something turned out. It looks like it did!



Here are the girls. Daddy's little princesses.
They keep us busy with school homework and activities.
