The Key to a Good Picture

I discovered the key to a decent picture. Turn on the sephia hue and then make it a little fuzzy. That way you don't see any wrinkles or imperfections. It more or less makes you look "ageless!" HA HA

She's Growing

We're realizing that K.O. is getting bigger. It's especially cute to see Cado trying to carry her. He won't be doing that much longer.

The 4-H Club is Haulin' Hay

Dave is getting smarter as these years are going by. Instead of just making our poor boys haul the hay for those hungry lambs all by themselves, he enlisted the help of Jayce and Gavin. That way, they will feel more a part of the 4-H team. I'm thinking that it will probably create some blue ribbon lambs as well.

Happy Halloween

Mariah had a much better Halloween this year. We have discovered that we just need to find other "last children" who don't have any brothers and sisters to trick or treat with either. So, here are Mariah and Zoe. They had a very successful night.

We went to the trunk or treat first that was held at the church. We gave out about 300 glow sticks and finally had to tell those little kids that we were out of goodies. They looked very disappointed, but if you looked into their baskets you readily saw that those things were filled to the brim!

But, we still took them out for some house to house trick or treating.
Mariah found a twin at the trunk or treating.

Raising Money for Pennies By the Inch

Mariah came home from church with a Pennies By the Inch jar. All the money that she gets from donations will get to go to Primary Children's Medical Center to help sick children. She came up with a great idea to raise money. She decided to create a store using her Halloween candy.
She made everyone an invitation to her store. It didn't take more than two minutes for the boys to be there with pennies in hand!

Here are Cado and Bo deciding what to buy. There is a great selection to choose from. Thank goodness for trunk or treating!


Anyone who made purchases at the store we given this great thank you note and raffle ticket. We were told that when we hear the "banging pan" that it will be time for the raffle. Cado purchased extra raffle tickes for 4 cents each. Whoever wins will get to choose an 11 cent candy. What a deal.

There was even a "Thanks for coming" note for everyone. There is still plenty of merchandise left in the store. Everyone is invited to come :)

Dayton Hit His Year Mark Oct. 1

How could he have these great experiences any other way! It's been a good first year. Now we get to count down the months!

Fall Really is Beautiful
