This year vs. Last year

They have changed but they are the same crazy little maniacs! :)

Outtakes & the non-traditional but oh so cute!

Sneak Peek

My very talented friend, Rachael, took some awesome pictures of my family again this year. I am so blessed to have her in my life for many reasons but her talent is truly unmatched and I'm so appreciative! Thank you Rachael - these are awesome!




Okay folks - that is all you get until you are either blessed with a Christmas card or a family calendar. Hope you enjoy!

Random Pictures

Smack words! We used to call them popcorn words but Z wasn't getting enough practice so a friend suggested that we put them on the door give Z the fly swatter and let him go to town spelling and identifying words - it WORKS!


Crowe's Nest Farm - I got to go on Z's field trip and had a wonderful time. This picture is Z running the maze.


Z enjoyed using my camera to capture some pictures - this is him catching his favorite chaperon.


Cute little posed picture of Z.

The only good Halloween picture that I got.

WurstFest!

Today we celebrated Wurstfest 2010 (our 3rd year - the fest's 50th)!

Pumpkin Hunting!

All the crazy animals!!! (Love Z's pose!)

The sun was in their eyes so they all are looking away from me! Even though I was hollering, "Smile, it'll make G'ma's happy!!"

Today was Pumpkin Hunting 2010!

We were very successful this year! We heard about a great place in Medina, TX (a bit of a drive but supposed to be great). We were pleasantly surprised, NOT Ekert's, but had some fun stuff. This fall tradition has been happening for years. As I described in my Fall 2008 post we are not "traditional" hunters - we like to hunt inanimate objects, pumpkins being one of our favorites! Today we got to see some more dirt play, just like in Fall 2009. I've also included our Fall 2007 pictures so you can see how much the kids have changed. Enjoy!

Waiting for the hay ride (dirt anyone?)

'Cuz they all looked so cute looking at the ducks!

OLC!

This was my second year at OLC (Outdoor Learning Camp) but it was my personal best because my favorite 10 year old was there with me! I love that K girl!!! Since I found out about OLC I've been looking forward to being a chaperon in K's cabin - I got to be a chaperon and see her all day (teacher bonus!)! I tried not to make contact unless she did but it was so sweet when she did come and find me. Here are some of the shots that I got of her, when she made time to come visit:
