Perfect Pumpkin picking day!

This fall has been AMAZING! 

The weather has been perfect! Still in mid October it is in the mid 60's

 and picture pefect on most days! I love it! 

When we went pumkin picking it was the perfect day! 

Seriously I wore flip flops pumpkin picking- never has that happened before... don't ya just love my pretty plum purple toes? They make me smile every time I look down!

Okay back to pumpkins and fall! 

I love this picture. It represents my girl- dirty hands, sharing a little creature.

The kids had a blast running amuck in the fields. Life is always better with a buddy or two...

One of the moms asked how I got them to pose for these. I told her bribery- or rather I like to call it positive reinforcement for good behavior in the form of frozen yogurt afterwards.

 Worked like a charm!

Such a perfect fall day! I love fall especially when you get to enjoy it so 

much being outside and not freezing cold!

Charlton Grizzlies

These girls are an amazing bunch of athletes! 

They will play their best in ANY weather!

What's better than a win in the POURING rain?

Fro-yo celebration with the team right after! 

Conference notes

It was Alyssa's goal to take notes on all the conference sessions.

It was Lola's goal to play ball! 

A & A's 13th birthday!

Pie! It's whats for breakfast when you have a birthday in our house. 

This year it's a biggie the kids are teenagers! Yikes!

 Alyssa's soccer jersey even was the right # for the day! 

#13 you rock!

 Paul didn't want to miss out on all the excitement while he was away so we faced timed him. 

So glad he came up with that idea! 

I know they are teenagers now because they want body spray, Perfume and smelly stuff for their bodies and hair!

 Every year since they have been really little we have them show how many years!

 I love that they are cooperative and still do it for me. 

Mmmmm! Oreo ice cream shoppe pie.

 Yummy any time of the day!

I love these kids! I am so very grateful to be their mom!

Happy Birthday my miracle babies!
