October 2010

Wow this month was full of activities, fun, and cooler weather! We started off the month with Kaitlyn's 10th Birthday party... A house full of girls decorating cakes and snacking on icing and tons of sugar made for an exciting yet loud evening.... They sang and danced to a game on the Wii until hours later when children were begging to stay a little longer to play.. Lol... It was a great day and she had her best friend spend the night so she was a happy little girl...



This Sunday morning I went up to teach my Kidz choir class and heard my daughter helping lead worship in Kidz church... All I could think is "Lord is this a preview of what is yet to come"






We had a boys against girls pumpkin carving contest so we each had to come up with an idea and of course the girls wanted princess so we took our time and carved a beautiful princess in our pumpkin .. However daddy and the boys decided to make it a theme adventure and they all became pirates... I just loved it and daddy's imagination with the boys just wish I would have thought about tiaras for the girls.. Oh well there's always next year...



A friend took this pic me and the kids are up in the balloon..


We had fall festival at church with inflatables, hot air balloons, food and carnival games.. There were so many people it was after 2 am before we made it to Steak n shake for the annual after cleanup milkshakes ... And yeah my parents were there and took our babies home around 9 pm so they were not up that late!!



We took the kids around the neighborhood this year and man did they rack up on candy... But they had fun seeing their friends and just being with mommy and daddy so that was worth all the walking we did that night...



The weather is getting cooler and the days are getting shorter but my kids still love to go play at the neighborhood playground so we took a Saturday and did just that... I love this picture. They were watching the ducks go back into the water after Lexi demanded they needed to shew them back into the Lake....









Kate decided to take our photo and she did a great job... So we decided to do some group photos too!!

We decided to take a little trip to visit my parents for a few days while the kids had a fall break from school .. At one point we just sat looking at the lake enjoying Gods beautiful creation... And my sister snapped a photo...


This month was busy with fun and just family time. Still waiting on news from the Navy andnits getting harder to keep it quite because we don't know anything yet... Zach and I sit and try to imagine what God has in store or where we might like to go . Us and the kids even made out our top 10 bases we would like to get stationed at but it's still not a reality yet! God only knows the future but in the mean time we can still dream..! I know it's getting harder on the kids to keep quite about it but we had to start talking more about it because they are just as much a part of it as we are... God doesn't call one without the others so were all in this together as a team.. With daddy our leader chasing after Gods direction for our family.... However the not knowing anything is driving me crazy ..! So for now I am going to sit back not worry and enjoy the next month of finishing the Kidz program at church and be happy and at peace with where God has planted us for this season!!
