315/365

I was able to go to The Promise Ramins Tour. So glad I went. Great singers and just enough concert with worship service mixed in!!! This is the main singer from Building 429.

This is Krisco and what happnes when we let him roam the house. He grabs anything he can and then the kids chase him around!

So glad that someone is enjoying the trampoline! I will be glad when Krisco stops chewing everything!

298/365

Horrible wind storm blew the stop sign like this!

297/365

I finally found the bridge that friends have taken photos at! Great fall photos esp since my kids were in shorts and summer dresses. But this is my fave shot!

283/365

Apple Annie's to pick our pumpkins!!!

277/365

Krisco is now grabbing items from the counter. I would be fine if he would wash dishes, but instead likes to chew whatever he can grab!

262/365

First game of the season. This has to be my fave shot of the whole day. Gabriel followed through and scored the last goal of the game. Our team won 9-0 and Gabriel scored 4 goals!

261/365

The first awards ceremony of the school year was today. Victoria received a Citizenship award. She has been a great help to a new student in her class who doesn't speak any English.

260/365

This is what happened when I didn't wake up when Krisco needed to go out. He got bored and destroyed his pillow.

259/365

This is a gorgeous photo I couldn't help but snap while I was driving. I loved how the sun shone with the mountains and clouds.

255/365

Football season has started. It's my 2nd year playing fantasy football. Though week 1 did not get off to start I was hoping for.

254/365

Lillian took a nice nap before church!

253/365

Lillian had a sleepover with her friend Alexie. It was her second sleepover. We said that once she was 6 yrs old she could have sleepovers. She was so excited!

252/365

I hosted a Pampered Chef show. My friend, Jessica, is my consultant and made some yummy pancakes!!!

249/365

Happy Birthday to Victoria!! She's 8 already!

240/365

Some friends and I actually had a girl's night out. We went out for Sushi and then starbucks coffee. We all were glad to have a few hours with no kids and just have time to chat!!!

238/365

Krisco is now 4 months old!! He loves his pillow, though it's the second one. So we will see how long this one lasts. Good thing these are old pillows.

237/365

Today is Gabriel's birthday. I cannot believe he's 9 years old now! Instead of a party this year, he wanted a Ninentdo DS. I can't argue with that one, an easy out for us this year. lol

236/365

We went to The Outback to celebrate Gabriel's birthday. We went out a night early because hubby got home from work earlier than usual. Gabriel had ribs for dinner and enjoyed his birthday song and ice cream.

235/365

The kids like to spend Sunday afternoons vegging out with video games. I figure one day a week won't hurt them. lol Plus, it keeps them happy and quiet so I can enjoy Sunday's too.

232/365

We have finally been getting some rain this week. I love our rainy days.

231/365

Krisco loves people food. But I finally found something he won't eat, lettuce! lol

230/365

I was trying to get hubby off to work this morning and heard the dog whimpering. I look in the office to find him on the chair! He jumped up there on his own and couldn't get down. Hubby said he wanted to play online like the rest of us.

229/365

Krisco is now 15 weeks old and getting bigger and bigger. Pretty soon he's going to be able to jump my gates. lol

228/365

We've gotten in the habit of playing board games on the weekend. Tonight we tried Yahtzee. Let's just say it was interesting to watch the kids play since they couldn't quite grasp the concept. Oh well, at least math skills are being reinforced.

227/365

After church we have been finding ourselves picking up Taco Bell. We all love it though I think Gabriel enjoys it more than the rest of us. lol

226/365

Hubby bought some fresh green chili and roasted them. Great for chili rellenos!

224/365

It was a sad day as Lillian's fish died!!!! We had a burial for it.

223/365

Krisco is 14 weeks old!! And as you can tell from the background, is still ripping apart things he shouldn't.

222/365

How is it that teach can say read and he does it? But if I tell him to, there are meltdowns!

218/365

1st Day of School!!!!!!

Victoria was very happy to be pampered during her haircut.

Krisco is finally getting use to kis crate and taking naps in it!!!

Gabriel doesn't like the nips that he receives from Krisco. And anything for a bandaid.
