Where to start. Well, the top left is Ricky chasing Cora after being perterped long enough. They chase each other back and forth all day long. Then next to that we've got our next Green Bay Packers quarter back! And Deon sampling my boots. The thigh high boots don't look quite right on her...Then there's Blake and Deon in Cora's cage. Those smiles crack me up! Say cheeeeese!!! Deon did a cheer camp. That was intersting. She's not a cheerleader - yeah! She just wants to dance! It was snowing that night too as you can see in this last picture. :)

What a great day! Harry's Kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch. Harry was excited since it was his first time riding the bus. The rule of the pumpkin patch was the kids could pick any pumpkin as long as they could carry it. Most of the boys went for the largest pumpkins and the girls had small pumpkins. It was fun to see. He loved this day!

Apple picking time! This is my favorite time of the year. We took a little trip to an apple orchard near us. It was a great day. Harry of course picked several apples, from the forbiden trees before I realized what he was doing. He was excited. Kate was our trusty wagon puller until the load became too heavy, not with apples. Harry decided that a wagon ride would be a better way to travel through the orchard. FYI, Harry does not like to be called Harrison. He informed me the other day when I called him Harrison it means he is in trouble. Otherwise, I always need to call him Harry.

Kate and Harry's first day of school. Harry woke with great excitement and exclaimed, " Kate wake up it is our first day of school". He then rushed downstairs to use the bathroom. He wasn't in there but a minute and I here, "Mom, my stomach doesn't feel good", and with that he began to throw up. So much for his first day of Kindergarten. Poor guy!

So here's our latest and greatest! Starting at the top, Blake loves spaghetti and that is why we eat it outside! Deon's face is painted like spider man because we went to a carnival and while all the other girls looked like fairies or princesses, mine was the only spider woman! Be afraid!!! She would not let us wash her face for 3 days. Yuck! As for the bunney outift. Well, thank you Sarah and can anyone say Christmas Story? Sorry, she plans on being Cinderella this year for Halloween. :) Blake loves books and loves to climb into anything. That's his favorite spot to look at a book. He looks like a little boy and he's only 12 months there!! And there's Cora and Deon taking a nap together. I don't think Cora sleeps anymore, and if she does it's while she's in time out for jumping on the kids. Why can't she sleep inside?! Cora loves to chase Ricky but it results in Ricky turning around and chasing after her. No one messes with the de-clawed cat!!

The Bennett summer

This is the ramp that was stolen out of our yard...we make them out of wood so nobody would want it...kind of weird if you ask me. We did however get it back! The boys were at the skate park and some of the kids there told them they had seen it in a kids yard. So we went to the police station (that was rather comical! Me and my 3 kids giving a descriptin of what it looked like at where it was.) The police actually picked it up and brought it back for us!! So this is where I can find Ty most of the day. He is either riding his bike on it or spray painting it. That is one of the things he got for his birthday.

More of our summer

The shot of the summer at the skate park








Hayden did her first roller coaster!! She wasn't tall enough so she stood on her tippy toes and the guy let her on, She said, "I was like this the whole time!"

Justin's birthday we did a dutch oven cooking party! We had a blast and finished it off with home made icecream. I think it was a great success!!

I'm free, free flying...what you can't see is the mat he is falling onto, but he sure is way up there. Justin even leaped off.
