The "Indoor" Playset

Family Fun on a Saturday

Such a beautiful today - a perfect 77 degrees. We look a hike and had some fun in the back country then went out to lunch. A perfect day together.
Our family MOTTO:
It doesn't matter what we are doing as long as we are doing it together! Daddy, Mumma, Ashlin and Louie!!

A Huge Thank YOU!

Just wanted to say "THANK YOU" everyone for the super sweet birthday wishes. The phone calls, cards, emails, texts, facebook comments, ecards and packages seem to come from everywhere. I recieved about 25 calls alone yesterday. All the way from Germany to Montana to Southern Cali to Fresno to San Fran and back to SB, everyone was so wonderful... LOVED IT! We are celebrating (again) tonight with a birthday dinner at my parent's house.

Constructing the PLAYSET

Four very handsome and strong men spent Sunday building a huge playset for the kids. Everyone got in on the action. Kevin, Corey, Les and even Mark all flexed their muscles to get the playset up - it looks beautiful and the kids love it already!

Weekend Fun!! - Pumpkin Patches, Bounce Houses and Birthday Party

WOW! What a GREAT weekend!! Corey, Ellen and Kids came into town early on Friday so we made use of the day and had so much fun at the "Interactive Pumpkin Patch" where there were a ton of bounce houses and slides. That night they made dinner which was awesome (you guys can stay anytime). Saturday we went to Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch where there was animals, hay rides, pumpkins, gardens and lots of kids. Kevin played super husband and took care of getting everything really for the party- what a great guy...I am sooooo lucky! So it was really easy for me, just show up. The party was perfect, about 50 people came - I was able to visit with everyone and really relax and enjoy it. The food was so good and the BAND was so awesome, they keep it rockin with classic rock. It really was the most wonderful birthday I could had ever asked for. Kevin and Ashlin also surprised me with the most beautiful diamond ring-I was really surprised. It really makes me appreciate how lucky I am. Thanks everyone for making it so special! I love you all!!

Halloween Cutie

Ashlin is in the Halloween Spirit thanks Nana Lou who was so kind to gift her the super cute shirt, glowing socks and matching witch hat. I love it!!! Thanks Mary Lou! We miss you!

Mommy's Little Helper

Ashlin Rae makes it easy to have kids. I especially appreicate it when there are things that need to get done. Yesterday she rode in the back pack while I drove the quad while smoothing the riding area. We went around and around and around, when anyone would come in sight she would wave. It was really funny!
