Our Last Day as a Family of Four!

Lexi Turns 3!

Just over 3 years ago we welcomed Lexi into our family. She is the life of the party and is so animated. She is always making us laugh and has such a determination to get things done. We spent the night at Grandma's house the night before her Birthday and Derek stayed up late putting her bike together. She was so excited about her new bike. We love Lexi so much and cannot imagine our family without her!

Pumpkin Carving for FHE!

Hannah in the pumpkin!

It took a while just to get the top off of Steve and also Heidi's Pumpkin because their pumpkins were so big.

We had lots of fun for FHE carving pumpkins with Steve and Heidi and their family this past week. We had pizza, Carmeled apples, and carved pumpkins. Well, I really just watched and played with the pumpkin guts. This is the second time that we have done this now and it is starting to become a family tradition. The kids had lots of fun but, Derek and Steve were into it the most as you can see. By the end of the night they were so tired of carving pumpkins that they were grateful it will be another year until we do it again.

Finishing off the yard!

We have lived in our house now for 3 1/2 years and have been slowly working on the yard. We put in the retaining wall one summer, the fence the next, and then now that summer is almost over we decided to finally try and finish the yard with grass, bark and, some trees. Derek spent 12 hour on the yard and this is the final product. Great job honey!

Starting School!

How did she get old enough to go to school?? Yes Kylie is now in school and these are the pictures of her on her first day! She really wants to ride the bus, but I only really like her to when Grandpa is babysitting on the mornings after I worked. She has only been able to ride the bus a few time and is constantly asking when she can ride the bus again.

Kylie turned 5!!

Kylie turned 5 and Derek and I let her plan out her perfect Birthday. She wanted a kitty that moved and makes noise, balloons, to go to the zoo, go to Chucky Cheese, and a Birthday cake. It was a very busy day. Derek had the day off so we could go do all these things. Kylie loved every minute of it. I don't know that we will let her plan many more Birthdays in the future, but she had a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Kylie!
