Thankful

This year I'm thankful that my family was together for the holiday once again. I'm thankful to have a wonderful husband and 2 amazing children, they make my life whole. I'm thankful to have my health (colds don't count as bad health!). I'm thankful to have the most beautiful, inside and out, friends a girl could ask for. They lift me up when I need it and always have an ear & shoulder for me. I'm thankful to have a beautiful home and food in our bellies. I'm thankful we can give to others. I'm thankful to have been raised by 2 parents that balanced each other out just as Mark and I do. I know because of this Sierra and Andon will have a good upbringing. I'm thankful to have found faith in myself in who I am and who I will be.

October 31st

We had a fun Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins the night before. Andon had a good time throwing pumpkin seeds on the ground.



Halloween morning we got up and went to the Arizona State Fair with my dad, Mark's parents, brother & sister-in-law. We had such a great time going on rides and eating fair food.

This slide was Sierra's favorite. I think they went on it 4 times. We need one for the backyard!
Here are Sierra, Mark and my dad after the first little drop on the log ride.
And here they are after the big drop! Sierra may not look happy, but she wanted to do it again. I think she just didn't want photographic evidence.

After 5 1/2 hours of fun we headed home to relax and get ready to trick or treat. Sierra decided she wanted to be a butterfly princess this year. Mark wanted to pick out Andon's and bought him a Captain Kirk costume.
Seriously so sassy with the posing.
Andon could have cared less as long as he could have a sucker.

Happy Halloween!!

Fall Fun

We took the kids to the zoo last weekend. It was warmer than we had thought it would be so we decided to let the kids get wet. I don't think they minded wearing wet clothes the rest of the day.





Then Andon and I went to the Pumpkin Patch with my MOM's group while dad was at work and Sierra was in school.
The weather was beautiful. For a while. Now we are hitting 90 again and this does not make me happy. It's NOVEMBER!!
