The kids pictures

Last year my friend Michelle got a cool new camera. She was nice enough to experiment with it on my kids and I think she got some really good shots.

Happy Birthday Sadie!

Sadie had her 8th birthday on November 22. Can you believe I have an eight year-old??
We were able to have her baptism on that day as well. It was great! All of her grandparents were able to be there as well as some close friends.

She is such a good girl and we are so proud of her.

Halloween

We had a lot of fun carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating!

Justin was Buzz Lightyear, Isaac was the red Jungle Fury Power Ranger, and Sadie was Dorothy. How cute!!

Grandma and Grandpa Jensen even came to help out!

Thankfully, the candy is almost gone and we can recover before Thanksgiving arrives.

Autumn

I love Autumn!! I hate the summer heat, so when Fall finally arrives I get soooo happy! (Or is it because school starts? I'm not quite sure!) I was so excited to move back East eight years ago after having lived in Utah for five years. There are a few trees in the Beehive state that do turn colors, but there is nothing like Fall here in the Shenandoah Valley! I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place!

One of our favorite things to do here in the Autumn is visit the local farms and orchards. Saturday, we were invited to a party at Hill High Farm in Winchester. There the kids were able to take a hayride, pick pumpkins and apples, play on tractors and pet the farm animals. It was crazy and tons of fun!

We finally have a Blog!

I have finally given in and started a blog. I know I am way behind the times, but better late than never, right? Hopefully some of you will actually read it!
