Fall Festival

This past Saturday we were able to go to the Fall Festival with the kids and their cousins and Aunt Jessi. We had a really fun time. We love the fall beauty here. The kids got face paintings and played several games and went on wagon rides. The kids really enjoyed the extra time with daddy too!

Eric's Birthday Party

I know this is a little overdue but at least I finally posted it. We really had a lot of fun at Chuck E Cheese! He wants to go back for next b-day!

Snow Is A Comin!

The snow is beginning to show itself on the mountains here. It is absolutely beautiful but at the same I am not ready for it yet. I was amazed Sunday morning to find the mountains looking like this when the day before there wasn't a trace of snow. It sure comes so suddenly. I am told not to worry until it shows itself on the lower mountains. The bottom picture was taken on the way to school this morning at about 8:15 am. Notice how dark it is yet. The kids are anxious to play in the snow again, especially Gregory. I don't think Audrey cares either way. In the middle of winter they are all white. I will post more pics at that point to see the difference. We certainly do have beautiful land up here though. We thank the Lord for the beauty here, even if it gets cold. :) I haven't heard from many of you lately. Email me or leave a comment please!

Family Pictures From Dean Reunion

These are the pictures we had taken when the whole Dean clan was here. They turned out nice. Our individual family picture could have been better. We like the pose just not the looks on the kids faces. It has been a while since we had our family pictures taken so we thought we better get them. Who knows when we will get them taken again. Anyway, thought you all would enjoy them. Take care.

Happy Birthday Big Buddy!

Today is Eric's 7th Birthday!!! Yikes! My boy is getting so big. He told me today that he is catching up to me because he is growing tall. The sad thing is he is absolutely right. Today I took him McDonalds for lunch as well as cupcakes and a balloon. It was cute to see him get all red and embarrassed when the teacher had the class sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Here are a couple pictures from his classroom. Tonight will be a big night for him. He was allowed to invite one friend to go to Chuck E Cheese with him. Of course Uncle Tim and Aunt Jessi, Robert, & Alena will be coming too. He was bouncing with excitement this morning. Let's just hope he focused at school with all this excitement going on. We are so proud of him. Happy Birthday Eric! Daddy and Mommy love you with all our heart!!!

Just Rambling

Things have been really busy for us all. Robert has been put in charge of a big project at work and has been granted permission to work overtime. So lately he has been working overtime on Saturdays. It has been a added blessing financially.
Both the boys are busy with school and enjoying it very much so. Gregory is so funny to listen to. He will start telling you all about his day, even about those who get their stick moved.(form of classroom discipline) Then he is sure to let me know he did not get HIS stick moved.
Audrey has went to 3 ballet classes and is very excited for the next one. She is starting to do some of it at home while playing. It definitely suits her well.
Mom, on the other hand has been very busy with cleaning houses. Lately I have done a few move out cleans. I hate doing them but they are a one time thing and pay very well. Between it all I am taking the boys to school and picking them up. It is hard to believe are finishing up their 3rd week of school already. My day absolutely flies by so quickly. The school year will come to end so soon at this rate.
Not much more to update on just a bunch of rambling about everyday life. Hope everyone reading this is doing well. Be sure to let us know how you are doing as well.
