Marie and I were reviewing who has who for Christmas. It's tricky when you can't remember who you had last year!! We finally figured it out, though--
This year :

Scott's Family gives to Gerald's Family
Craig's Family gives to P. Clint
Rebecca's Family gives to Marie's Family
Gerald's Family gives to Jon
P. Clint gives to Scott's Family
Marie's Family gives to Craig's Family
Jon gives to Rebecca's Family

We also need to organize at least one Skype call, too. Especially since now I have high speed internet!!

Love you all- Hope your Holiday's are great!!

Yes its fall again in Michigan and its just a beautiful time of year. With all the variety of maples in various colors of red, orange, and yellow and the many other trees native to Michigan its just fun to see all the changes around us. Whats not fun is knowing winter is just around the corner. I have decided each year to take pictures of my kids playing in their Grandma Diana's yard she has a huge maple tree to climb and have fun with. We had to take pictures quick this year; my mom's neighbor was using his leave blower to get all the leaves in one pile to pick up for her. He was nice enough to take a break so I could get some fun pictures. I hope you enjoy!!!!!

Hey everyone I hope you enjoyed your Halloween this year. For Halloween this year I got on Familyfun.com and had the boys look at homemade costumes for deciding what they wanted to be this year. Matthew decided he wants to do the Alien Encounter for Halloween. That Alien head you see behind Matthew's back is a paper mache' head. What a pain it was to make and your looking at the second head; the first one broke on me so I spent a lot of days working on this head for him to make the perfect Alien. I told him next year he has to pick a easier costume like Blake's.

Blake's costume was so much easier to make, and he loved being able to have a green face. He cried when I took the paint off his face at night. He was happy he got to paint his face 2 times green. I think he makes a very scary Dr. Frankstiens Monster don't you?
