Happy Halloween

Well, Todd didn't make it home to go Trick or Treating, so my Mom and I took Jakob out. We went around our place and then headed over to my aunt and uncles where he helped hand out candy (he would answer the door and say "Heellooooo, Happy Halloween!" and drop candy in their buckets. He was so excited to do this! He even got a hug from a little boy. From there we headed over to look at the pumpkins on Norman road (post below) all lit up. They were so neat..all different kinds of carvings from witches to submarines! Last stop was "the condos" down the road. For not going to too many houses, his pumpkin was 3/4 of the way full and he was happy!

Mis Amigos

How quickly 18 months goes by....

Jorge and Edgar(t), our really good friends (family!) from Mexico will be going home within a week. It is sad, but we will all stay in touch. Jakob understands that MX is far away and is sad that they are leaving...but I know we will see them again! We celebrated by having a "gathering" at the K of C (not fried!). Here are a few shots of Jake (high on sugar, soda) with his buds.

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

Every year this house down the road is decorated in PUMPKINS! They are on display 10/21 - 10/31. We have yet to drive by at night to see if they are all lit up. I still want to get another picture. Jakob was amazed and wanted to see the "oval" one (?).

Friday Afternoon

We had some pretty weird weather...rain, wind picked up, then down pour! All stops then the sky was dark blue/black at one point and clear, bright blue in other spots.
Was able to snap a few pics before the camera died:

More colors of fall:

Fall~My favorite time of the year

Leaves changing. Cool crisp air. Pumpkins. Hayrides. Apple Cider.

8 Years

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary! Some people find it hard to imagine that (1) a couple has been married for this long, (2) we have been together for 11 years, and (3) we have never broken up.


Stinks that he is away for work this week and we can't spend our special day together...although I joked that he didn't know what to get me, so he volunteered to go to Indiana for the week (haha!).
