Halloween

Some of my family came over a couple of weekends ago for a little get-together. Kaley & Katie came up w/ the idea of making a hay maze out of our straw.  So the kids really enjoyed playing in that. 

Uncle Dan called Jet, Charlie Brown most of the night.  He really did with that shirt & his round head!!

I love Josie's little hand on her hip.

Tanner looks like a little Dan for sure.  So glad he and his daddy made it down from K.C.

Class party  -  The Mummy race

Spook Parade.. Addie wasn't sure about this scarecrow idea. I thought it was wonderful. I didn't spend a dime on this idea!!  I love it when that happens. The feathers were gathered out of a friends chicken yard, the overalls were once mine, the hat and shirt came from my mom, and the straw and stick were gathered from the barn!! Bonus!!  (i guess i did buy the face paint, darn)

 

They pick 6 kids from each class to go up on stage and show off their costume.  Addie was picked!!

Grandma Susie's Party

Quality Time with Addie

Addie did not have school today.  So we dropped Macie off at preschool and we went RIDING!!!!  Both horses did extremely well.  Which makes the ride that much better.  Addie said "I am so happy today, because no school, got to ride, and ate a CORN DOG for lunch!!"  Oh, the simple pleasures in life.   

Getting some love from Belle.

Belle & Max fighting over the ball, guess who won???

Yep, MAX

We like to go down by the pond and walk around.  Our pond is slowing shrinking every time we go down.  I hope this fall brings some rain to fill it up for the cows this winter. 

We have hundreds of shells along the edge. 



Fall Fun cont....

We were excited to start carving out our pumpkins.. We didn't realize how messy it is. But they turned out well.  Brant & Josie were down, so they got to make one also.

I love this pic of Josie.  Her eyes are sparkling.

Brant's finished project.

I added this pic because of the dog in the photo.  This was Kobi, he passed away this past Tuesday morn.  He was 12 yrs old. We got him the 1st year we were married. Clint trained him to hunt ducks.  And he did quite well.  He was a good, faithful, family dog.  He was great with the girls, not a mean bone in his body.  He is greatly missed.



Fall Fun

We always have perfect weather for Cole's b-day.  We spent it outside, of course.  Eric & Wendy put in this awesome  pumpkin  patch.  So we took a hay rack ride and picked out some.

Cooper had to show us his power hits!!

Birthday boy- 5 years old!!

My arms were full.  You can't pass up free pumpkins!!!
