Thanksgiving

What a wonderful holiday . . . A day to reflect on all of our blessings! We truly are so blessed. We had a fun day seeing our families! I forgot to get a picture of us together:(

Mini Minerettes

We saw a glimpse of our future this week when Ci performed as a mini-minerette! She loves to dance! It is fun to have a dancer in our family. I really enjoy watching dance but have never been much of one myself, so it has been fun to have a daughter who does.

Halloween Festivities!

We had a "boo"tiful halloween...haha! We filled our days full of halloween fun - corn maze, pumpkin patch, painted pumpkins, graham cracker haunted houses, witches night out, carved pumpkins, pumpkin pizza, and our annual adult only date to Frightmares.Happy Halloween!

Flower Girl!

Ci was asked to be the flower girl at our friend's wedding. She was ecstatic about being able to get dressed up and be apart of the wedding! Her and the ring boys were so cute together.

Fall!

I love this time of year. The beautiful colors of leaves, cool weather, and college football. This last week we enjoyed a hike and picnic in the mountains.
Funny story: Ci was nervous to go on a hike because the week before her uncle saw a bear while scouting, and she did not want to have a run in with a bear. We told her that the chances of us seeing a bear our slim, and we will be ok. She then says she doesn't want to hike because she hates snakes and is afraid of them. We again told her that the chances of us running into a snake are slim, and we will be okay. Low and behold we ran into 2 snakes on our 1.5 mile hike haha! Ci was not to happy at first, but laughed soon after about it and was so excited to tell her 7 year old cousin who loves snakes about our adventure!

Pre-School

Ci started pre-school the beginning of this month. She absolutely loves it! When dropping her off on her first day, she got out of the car gave me a kiss and said,"bye mom, love you"! That sure made it easier for me-that she was excited and not scared.

LuLu is married!

We had so much fun celebrating the marriage of LuLu and Josh. LuLu is gorgeous! Their reception was so fun! It was a carnival theme. We stuffed our faces full of hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn. We loved dancing the night away!
