Nate's New Slippers...

3D Movie with Daisy Troop

Carpet!

Nate and Zoe have already logged tons of hours playing in the now "finished" (but not "done") basement. It is wonderful not tripping over the toys upstairs!

Blaze of Lights

This year, Zoe got be in her first parade - Bluffton's Christmas Parade. She rode in a firetruck with Poppa. Apparently, we were the only people she waved to. I think she didn't want to strain her wrist...

Nate also got to sit in the fire truck after the parade.It was hard to get a picture of him because he was busy checking out of the lights & gauges & such inside the truck.

Cookie Day

115.5 Dozen Cookies

Thanksgiving Day

TV

While discussing whether or not we saw Tony on TV (he attended the OSU-MI game), Zoe comments, "Daddy did you see us?"

These Boot Were Made for Walkin'

OSU vs Iowa

Happiness - before the game in front of the stadium

Happiness after the game - on the field singing Carmen Ohio

We must not forgot the unhappiness when the High School kid behind me puked whiskey vomit everyWHERE BEFORE the Game Even Started! Gross, gross & more gross. It was a testament to my love for my husband that we stayed and watched the game that WENT INTO OVERTIME WHILE SITTING IN VOMIT SEATS!! Seriously. It is a good thing they won. Oh yeah, that kid also owes me a new pair of shoes. I left mine once we got to the car...

Fall Fun

Trick or Treat

Really, Nate was just about the cutest cow ever...
(well, there was a pretty cute one a few years ago too!)

The sweetest Spring, Fall & Winter Fairies...

We had a dry, but cold trick or treat. Mom & Dave handed out our candy while we took the kids out along with the Saunders. We gave out candy to over 200 kids & got about that much back.

Happy Birthday Poppa Dave!

Cheesecake & Chocolate Pie = Yum!

Halloween Parade

Almost Done...

The bathroom & main room *just* need flooring & trim.

Thanks to help from Uncle Ben with the trim, my room is almost done. Tony can't wait to get me out of the den & down here. It certainly is bright & cheerful.
