A Way Overdue Update...

 Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner...

Went to hear Sonnenburg Station...if you look very closely, we are in the front on the very right side...

 And that would be Christine up on a ladder hanging a sign...

 Got frozen yogurt one evening with these peoples, plus two of us who are missing from the photo. 

 Yum! 

 My Winter project...a denim rag quilt. I made one like two years ago, and thought I would try for another one, we'll see how it goes.

 Little brothers...

 I have hauled a bunch of Amish people around lately...not the most fun job ever, but it's nice to get a little extra cash! =) (Aren't selfies the best!? ha!)

 Gifts like this are the best! =)

Makes you actually take photos, since I don't usually like to just carry my big ole camera everywhere.

I'm pretty sure he's happy about getting ice cream.

Here's me and Weston. He's like the perfect baby...soft and cuddly, yet such a little man.

 Taking Mia to the airport turned out to be more of an adventure than what we had planned on...

 Was slightly amusing, though quite cold! 

Bible Study with some of the girls, and this little cutie...

The boys and dad have been working on getting this up...

Kaylee came for a visit!

The whole visit was a blast, of course! Didn't really take very many photos, but here are the ones we got...

We went to a corn maze the one day...

These two...=) She is always happily making food and feeding us! 

 He is a funny little kid when he is tired...

And our smiles are now super fake, but we needed a new photo together!

A Glimpse of Life These Days...

We had our annual farm picnic(s) in September.

My oldest and youngest brothers...both cool, but in different ways!

A couple weeks ago Sherri did a photoshoot with me. She does a great job!

Logan went along with us, which made it more fun.

The other morning it was really foggy out, which inspired me to get my camera out to do some shooting.

Photoshoots with brothers...

 Last Sunday we took these two to the airport...from there they flew to New Zealand, how cool is that?!

I went to a baby shower in honor of this little guy, Weston Brock. Isn't that a great name?!

And of course we've been hauling lots of these black walnuts. Gotta love having stained hands.

I got to babysit these cute little girls a couple times last month! And of course I couldn't help but take some photos...

Sadly they weren't really into the photo thing.

They were pretty tired and starting to cry at this point...But the sky was so cool! =)

Outdoor Church Service

The church we've been going to has an outdoor service every year. This is the second one I've been to. It's nice to spend the entire day out in the sun! Everyone brings their lawn chairs and sits for the service then everyone eats, plays volleyball, softball, or any other game they feel like playing, then we eat some more, play more, and then you get together for a while and sing, then a lot of the kids played Prisoner's Base.

Anyway, here are some photos from the day....

Sheila and Brooke...

Joel with his grandson Dominique

Bryson...

Two of my more favorite people from that church, Marvin and Mitchell.

This girl, Susanna, turned 18 last month...so to celebrate I took her and another friend, Katrina out to find something fun to do! We ended up finding this quiet little park and walked on the paths through the woods. Ate some yummy frozen yogurt. Went Walmart shopping, which is basically wandering around the store looking at the very many things they have for a good long time before actually grabbing the item that you really came in for. Buying smoothies, and iced coffee at Starbucks. We ended the day by watching the movie "God's Not Dead".

So happy I got to spend the day with these two!!!

Just Because...

I think these two are adorable in this photo!

Trip to MI...

 Here are a few photos from our delightful little weekend trip to MI to see some wonderful friends...

Ah. The joys of traveling!

We spent the evening at the lake...

 Fun with sparklers...

We ate lots of good food. Here are some pies that (the always creative) Janel made...

Oh my, these are some of the cutest little kids!

Cause group photos are the best... (thanks to Janel, her camera, Natasha, and that handy little remote for the photo! =) )
