Busyness

Well, I'm way behind in updates compared to usual. As we have been going through life these past few months, it seems that we have to force ourselves to slow down a bit and make time for each other. With the holidays getting closer, I'm worried about getting busier instead of being able to make extra time for family and friends. We've learned recently that God has given our family something to make us slow our lives down a bit. And hopefully as we look toward the future and anticipate this change, we will be able to cherish the moments we have.

More on this to come!

For now, I just wanna brag on my wonderful husband, cause he deserves it! The other day he came home from work with these with a beautiful note. The story behind these also kindof goes along with this anticipated change.


Thankyou Angel! I love you too!

New Tatic to Stall Bedtime

The other night I was trying to get the kids to bed early to have so I could have some quite time before bed. I think Caleb figured out what I was trying to do and he had his own idea: try anything to NOT go to bed! He asked me, "Can I check my e-mail first?"

After I finally got them upstairs and into bed I asked him what book he would like to read. His answer was "THIS one!" And with a big smile he handed me the biggest book on his shelf, the Bible! Yes, I did read him a story from it-just not the whole thing! That boy is good at trying to beat me at my own game!

Music Station

I hope these precious videos are downloaded right. Let me know?

Corn Maze

The other weekend, we went to a local corn maze. There was so much for us to do there and we were glad to have such a beautiful day for it! They had so much to do outside besides just the corn maze and we spent most of the day there. Take a look at these pictures and see who the biggest kid is!

Putt-Putt

At the end of the putt-putt course was this outhouse. Angel was excited to show the kids what they'd have to use when we go visit his pueblito in Mexico. Alisia wasn't too amused.

After you played putt-putt and other games on the upper level, you could go down to the bottom level through this underground slide. This ended up being their favorite thing! They even hit it up several more times before we left!

Petting Zoo:

Funny Scare Crows!

Games:

Angel and Caleb really got into the "Make your own Music" Station!

The corn maze took a long time and we were all very tired after it was all over. This little ride took you back up to the start.

Autumn Glory

What awesome weather we've been having the past few days! We moved up 30 degrees in less than a week! Days like these are Angel's favorite since he works outside! I'm so jealous! He has a passion for being outside and feels close to God. He loves being surrounded by nature and God's beautiful creation. He loves getting up early and watching the sun rise.

It all sounds great until he has to spend his day doing this:

fixing a leak

killing a rattle snake:

But he sure takes pride in these greens!:

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Psalm 118:24
