What? You don't tie bows with your toes?

Happy 40th Sesame Street

Happy Anniversary to the entire Sesame Street gang. Thank you for providing amazing television to my generation and my children's.




"F" is for foreign lands. Brynn still loves watching "Big Bird In China". And the little girl will always be called Shampoo in our house.

Why I love living in the country...

This is the view we woke up to today.

We are so blessed.

Nate's Surgery

Nate goes in tomorrow to correct what we affectionately call his crazy toes.

He isn't allow to walk on them for 2 weeks.

Should be a fun time.

Our Harvest

This was our pumpkin harvest. We had over 50 plants, but some type of blight killed most of the pumpkins. These are the lone survivors.

I say next year we plant 75 plants. Just in case this happens again.

Moon Festival Fun

Happy Moom Festival everyone.

To celebrate, we went to Oglebayfest with Amy, Jim and Ilayna. These kids enjoy each other so much.

Oglebay sets off great fireworks. Ilayna was so excited (and a little scared of them), but talked about them for days. Plus, she got to stay up a little later than normal. That is always exciting to kids.

Now, those are some pumpkins!!

My cousins grow these amazing pumpkins.

Aren't they huge?
