FALL 2011: THE PUMPKIN PATCH

Spent the afternoon looking for the "perfect" pumpkin...it was such a beautiful day...the drive was wonderful, all the fall colors.

Kaden and his pumpkin, the rule is "you have to be able to pick it up"...

Me and most of my kids...Alex was at a pre-homecoming engagement...

My little sister Kathryn and me...

Kaden...the scarecrow...

FALL 2011: HOMECOMING

Two girls in highschool this year, double the trouble...double the chaos...double the fun! Whitney is a Freshman this year and went to homecoming with a couple friends of hers...such sweet girls. Alex is in her Junior year and her and a friend went with dates.
I think I made possible 3 to 4 runs to the store today for last minute changes...lets just say it has been a non-stop day!!! And squeezed in the pumpkin patch earlier....Pictures to be posted in a bit for that event.

FALL 2011: FACEROCK IN BANDON

It was a beautiful day...so we made a quick trip to Bandon...enjoyed it before heading back home, Whitney's playing with the band tonight for the football game and Alex has a part in the "Haunted Theater"...so she will be scaring people tonight.

MISS ASHLYNN TURNS 2

My little baby girl is growing up too fast, Ashlynn is such a joy, she is a very happy girl...well unless she is being teased by older siblings. Pink, Pink and more Pink seemed to be the theme this year...

The Birthday Princess, not too sure about her crown...

And then it was time for the presents....

So the funny thing is, she saw a doll with my mom a few days before her Birthday, so my mom bought it and surprised her...little did we know she would be so thrilled with it...to sum it up we all opened her other presents for her, because she had no interest in them, she just wanted to take care of her little baby, she took it around to everyone to show them...she was a proud little mommy!

Showing Grandpa...

Showing Grandma...it was actually so funny to see her so serious about this baby

Happy Birthay Little Princess...

SUMMER 2011: SEVEN DEVILS BEACH

Beach day-we went to Seven Devils Beach, a little before Bandon...Beautiful day-even with the mist that would come and go, one of the many things I love about the Oregon Coast.


Ashlynn was being so content...I took advantage of it and snapped away...She is such a beautiful little girl...yes I'm a biased mother!

Kaden playing in the sand...he loves the beach, he especially loves going in the water, no matter how cold it may be...

Whitney and Ashlynn...cute sisters...
