HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPPY THANKSGIVING! We had a wonderful time hosting dinner at our house. Nana Lou and Papa Les stayed through the week, Nick and Megan, my Mom and Dad and the Justus Family came to dinner. It was a lot of fun!

Weekend at Nana Lou & Papa Les's House

We had a super relaxing weekend at Nana Lou and Papa Les's house. James and Ashlin really enjoyed playing together, Corey played with Westin. Ashlin loved Mary Lou's cooking; especially the pancakes! Kevin took care of Westin both nights - so I got some much needed sleep. Between sleeping some and working out again I am starting to feel like myself again (of course working as hard as ever with the horses - just sold another client's horse and on the search for a new one for her - lessons and shows never stop!). Kevin is also working out a lot, he runs four mornings a week - his speed and distance are getting to be impressive.

A Wet Tuesday

It was a wet Tuesday, so we spent some time at Hope House with Papa.

Just Hanging Out!

A great Sunday afternoon watching football.

Hope Ranch Beach & Riding

We had a great Saturday playing with the horses then playing at the beach. The weather was perfect at 77 degrees. Hope Ranch Beach has always been my favorite beach in SB - it is private, quiet and beautiful! Ashlin loves playing at the barn.

Early Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration

Thanks to the Wissel Family for hosting a family reunion and early Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration! It was amazing...food was fabulous (of course)-thank you Cheryl for assisting. Aunt Maggie had everything planned to perfection, there was presents for the kids, plenty of space to enjoy the weather under the tent and even a parting gift of marshmellow/carmel/chocolate treat. Everyone was there including all cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma Margie and all the great grandchildren. The kids loved the bounce house and running around together. It was really fun!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween! Kevin and I took the kids and met some friends to go trick-or-treating. It was so much fun. There were tons of kids dressed up. Ashlin very quickly learned the drill and was running from house to house to get more candy, we let her eat a few pieces which kept her going. Kevin was so cute to play along!
