The Leaves

November came and went so fast! The kids and the leaves, so fun! For Ron and I, no fun! We spent alot of time picking up those leaves and we still are not done. It may have to wait till spring! I'm feeling pressure to blog some more. I just need to remember to take my camera.

Karen & Russ Bell

My sister Karen and Russ decided to get married today. Although I have no pictures yet, I did manage to use my camera video to capture the moment. It was a very nice wedding. Immediate family on both sides. The best part about it is she will be "Mamma Bell" in about 7 months :) I can't wait to have another niece/nephew and Olivia can't wait because she really doesn't like to be the baby in the family!

I wish you both the best!!! Now, pick a house and live in it. They are torn between the flat above the store which they love because it is so convient for Karen, but there really isn't much space left. Russ's Farm, which Dalton LOVES and Russ's mom's old house which she just moved out of. Good luck on that :)

My BFF

I am VERY fortunate to have a best friend from childhood. Chari and I have known each other literally since we were born. Her sister and her (twins) were born on Jan 5, I was born on the 9th. Our parents passed each other in the hospital as my mom was going in with me and she was leaving with her twins (they were also friends) I won't go into all the happy and sad times, but since we don't live in the same town anymore, it is really hard to see each other. She is so busy with her two year old twins and she is 7 months pregnant now. So when Chari called and said she needed a break, I rushed to Bloomington to see her. We ate lunch and caught up for what seemed like the shortest 2 hours ever, then we went to a park and reminisced on a whole lot! It really made me realize just how much I missed us. Chari btw is the reason Ron and I are together! So when McKenzie is born, and you need another break, just know I will be there :)

Holloween

Ok, so I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. But I must say, we had the best time! The kids were so excited and so fun to watch them run through the neighborhood, knocking the older kids away and grabbing candy. Then running again to the next house, racing to the door just to get a little piece of candy. So fun. Olivia was a fairy princess and I have to say, I did made her costume, alot of work, but she picked out the colors and the fabric. I can envision my future, making clothes for Olivia when she gets older, being her personal stylist of sorts. Caleb was a power ranger. I wanted hem to be pirates, but of course Caleb wouldn't have it.
