Halloween 2017

We had a really fun Halloween this year.  The weather was incredible and the kids had a lot of fun. They all dressed up for their day at school and Colbi and I got to go and help with Jax's class bat party (they have been studying bats at school) and then stayed for the costume parade that Berney has for all the kids.  Once the kids got home from school we met up with our friends the Hutchison's and did some serious trick or treating. We started about 4:30 and didn't get home until almost 7. We got a lot of walking in and all 9 of the kids were so happy it was pretty enjoyable.  Thanks to Aunt Marni for all the awesome costumes!

Fall Happenings

 Marni came to town for the weekend and we went out to the Ox and Cart for dinner one night to celebrate my mom's birthday.

 Hiked the reservoir on an amazing fall morning.

 Marni brought them Halloween costumes!

Breakfast before school with Aunt Marni.

 Donuts with dad at Colbi's preschool. Dave was working so Papa took her.

 Dave and I were working at the house one Sunday afternoon and the kids (namely Colt) talked DiDi into taking them to the pumpkin patch. He also talked her into buying them each a pumpkin.

There are no words for this girl.

 Lots of work on the house! This was the house at the beginning of September.

This is the house today. We just spent the last 2 days (and counting) painting! With the help of family (both those helping with kids and food and those helping us paint) it is coming along. The bottom part of the house will be stone. We still have a lot of trim work that needs done and need to paint the dormers but it is fun to see it come together.
