Circus Fun for Everyone!

It is Thanksgiving and everyone here knows what that means.....THE CIRCUS IS COMING!!!!!  But, before we can go, we have a little work to do.
There is cooking to be done in the kitchen...
There is dressing up for pictures...
Taking advantage of black Friday sales to shop for the new house...
Discovering egg free ranch dip... and then we can go!
Wyatt and the clowns met and he wasn't too sure about them.  He made sure Poppy stayed close by at all times.
TIGERS!!!!
Check out that cutie!
So much fun!  Where do we begin?
Let's ride the elephants!
The prettiest (and fastest) butterfly face painting yet! 
Then, we can show off our pony riding skills!
Wyatt even takes a turn to show off too!
Such a great time already and the show hadn't even started yet!
Wyatt is ready and entertained just with his light! 
Thanks for staying for the fun!
Someone has taken too many notes from Auntie Kelley
The blocks are no longer just around the site, but are now making up our crawl space 
Our Elf, Dory, is back!!!!!!!!  It is officially Christmas time at our house!

I went Walking...

Family Picture Day!


Every year we attempt a family picture with Brad's mom to see how we change....it is getting trickier every year!  This year it has taken us until this fall to get us all healthy and ready for the photo shoot.  You decide what is your favorite...these are all of mine!









Happy Halloween and more!

October is moving fast, and our house happens are finally underway!  In just a few weeks, so many things have gone on between our new house, school, and Halloween :-)
For those of you who never saw one...this is what a finished Presby septic system looks like.  We will plant grass over it, spray paint the pipes that are exposed to allow for air to go in and out, and forget that it is there!
Wall forms are going up!  The exterior wall forms are all in place and the rebar supports are in, we just need the interior forms to be installed and the concrete truck can return:-)
The other half of the septic--the tank (with man holes) is also in!
I have never been so excited about the potty--I am just so glad we can have one since it wasn't an easy process to get the permits!
During Fire Prevention Week at school, the local helicopter crew brought the rescue chopper in for all of our students to take a look-Gwen obviously wasn't there, but she loves the pictures!
Wyatt loves that the fire trucks came too!
My 3 best buddies!
My how time flies!  The walls were poured for the basement within a week and a half of the first picture and now the forms get to be taken off and brought to another job.  Next step...basement floor
We love Fall Break!  While off from school for a day, Gwen begged to make more play dough...Everyone got the chance to help!  We loved playing with our new orange play dough--Gwen loved molding things, while Wyatt liked cutting out trucks and more trucks!
Our parade pro was a cowgirl for the preschool float in the Chrisney Parade
A lot of kids and a lot of fun!-I'm just glad I wasn't in charge of this one :-)
All forms are off and gravel is down!  Next step...cement floor
It's pumpkin time!  Gwen was ready to carve away this year (with help!)  Here she is reenacting the carving. 
What a big smile you have!
The Masterpiece!
Brad picked out a giant pumpkin this year, and what fun it was to clean out!
Our pumpkin family...It looks just like us! :-)
(mine sticks out a little being that it is white, but it smelled like cucumbers, so I won't complain!)
Happy Halloween!  Doc Mcstuffins and her broken horse were ready! 
After seeing a Halloween show at Holiday World, Gwen just couldn't get the zombie song/dance out of her head!
Still a zombie!
The "twins" are still inseparable!
