Happy Thanksgiving!

I know, I know... Lets just say blogging has been put on hold for the past few months. I got a job teaching third grade and it has been pretty much non-stop. Here's a few things that have happened since my last post:

Dayne and I went to Canada with Cousins, Auntie, and Grandma and Grandpa!

Went camping at Warm River


Carved over 50 pumpkins at Halloween! If you look closely you may see some interesting characters from Star Wars, Spongebob, and Sesame Street.

This was intense! Next year we are planning to do the same thing if we get enough pumpkins.

I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

The rest of the best!

So here are the rest of the photos that I liked. Some I did a little digital grunging and some are just plain. I couldn't make up my mind. This first one was fun and Dayne loved being up there. He kept wanting to climb the stairs and look around.

This one is all grunged up! There was a good breeze and you can tell in this photo. My Target scarf was going crazy!

Okay so this one is cute but sad at the same time. I love how he has his arms in the air and it looks like he is excited, but sadly he is tripping. Poor little guy, but I love how it turned out. Don't worry it wasn't a bad fall and he didn't even need a band aid.

Here are a few of Dad and Dayne. I love how this one has them both reaching for each other in subtle way.

Love the cheesy grin on Dayne's face in this one.

Yes there is one with Mommy and Dayne. This looks like we are having a blast and yes we were!

"I've been working on the railroad all the live long day..." Love Railroad pics. My friend Melissa just got some family pictures done, and they really inspired me and my sister. This is the first family photo shoot since we've been married.

I love the lines from the roof in this photo combined with the stairwell/ledge thing.

And this is my personal favorite. We were trying to get him to take down his finger when we were trying to take the pictures, but I love how it all worked out for this photo.

Thanks Sarah for your patience, talent, and open mindedness. I love you and you really have a passion for taking pictures. I'm so lucky to have you as a sister!

Dayne and Dad and more to come

This weekend we went to Wendell and my sister took some amazing family pictures. These are a few of my favorites with Nick and Dayne, but there are more to come. I'm going to bed and I hope ya'll had a fabulous weekend.

This is one of their favorite things. Dayne sure loves his daddy!

Pay it Forward...

What I've been dreaming of...

I love to garden, and this is hard as a renter. I live in the country, so I can have a garden and such, but it really isn't mine. Well I have started to change my attitude. I will be living here for probably another year, so I am trying to make my surroundings more enjoyable. Lately I have been redoing flower beds and and making a sitting area. I want to spend a lot of time outside this summer, and I want to enjoy what I'm looking at.
Today I was dreaming of a beautiful yard and new projects for me to conquer. I went to Better Home and Garden to look at all the beautiful pictures. This week is supposed to be beautiful so I know I will be working on the yard. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy!
