My little sis

My little sister Natalie left for a small little village in Africa last week to teach to the deaf children. She is going to be an amazing teacher and friend to those little ones she meets. We miss her dearly already. Your always in our thoughts and prayers Nat!! We love you!

sweet ride...

A few weeks ago was "Ride or Walk to School Day". Champ's school asked everyone to ride a bike, scooter, or walk to school. It was super fun! They had the school mascot out, fun music playing, and the firemen came to give tips on bike safety (good thing my son didn't have his helmet on huh? I am such a good mom) They got lemonade and a cool light to put on the tire of his bike. He had a blast at his first "school" activity.

It's coming!

I love love fall...I already got all my halloween decorations out and am anxious to start making apple crisp, corn bread, and homemade chicken noodle soup. I put all the summer clothes up and brought out the fall/winter ones, now I need to start some sewing projects and get a yummy pumpkin candle or something.

Here are a few pictures of fall and halloween over the years to get you all excited for what's to come!!

pals..

The boys have been starting to play so well together. I love when Champ uses his great imagination and then involves Kasper. This day they were playing cops and were "fighting the bad guys" with spoons and pot holders! 

Fun weekend with the cousins!

Bobby's niece and nephew Hayden and Bella came to visit last weekend and the kids had a blast! We haven't seen them in over 2 years so it was much overdue. Champ and Hayden were great buddies and it was so much fun having a little girl around for once. 

                                 All ready for church! 

We can't wait to see them again this weekend!
