Winter Pictures

A few of our many attempts at getting a decent christmas card picture.

A mischievious grin on our adventurer.

The first time Matthew pulled himself up. He is growing too fast!

The four kids in age order.


Josh's family rented a house in Deep Creek, MD for the week of Thanksgiving. Josh's brother, Charlie Kerr is in the work in Kentucky and we haven't been able to see him for about 2 years. It was nice for him to be able to spend time with us, especially some of his neices and nephews he hadn't seen yet.

Fall Pictures

Ben all dressed up for his fall feast. His preschool sang a song for the parents and helped to make their snack for the day. They made a fruit salad and Ben was especially proud of the butter they made themselves by taking turns shaking a jar of cream until it turned into butter.
Kristen made a turkey cookie with the MOMS club while Ben was at preschool. It was very yummy. Thanks Aunt Kim!

A day at Ashcombe nursery. They set up all sorts of fun things for the fall. The kids enjoyed a hay wagon ride and bowling pumkins.

I wanted to get some pictures with the fall leaves. I'm discovering its very difficult to get three kids to look at the camera at the same time and look nice, forget about trying to get all three to actually smile.

Our big little man.

I'm thinking about starting to crawl. Look out mommy!

Halloween 2010

Ben really enjoyed Halloween this year. The older he gets the more he remembers what it is all about. Of course we got way more candy than we needed and I did more than my part to help eat it. We still didn't make it all the way around the developement that we go to, which I'm thankful for.

Ben's preschool-Jingle Bells

Pumpkins and Apples

We went to Paulus Orchids in Mechanicsburg to pick pumpkins and apples with the MOMS club. The kids had great fun again this year.

Yes Ben we see your apples, how about your face too? : )

So sorry Matthew, didn't realize I had your face covered. : ) Matthew was so good. He just hung out in the baby carrier the whole time with out making a peep.

Lauren, Avery, and Zoe were along too.

Our Trip to Washington State

We were hoping to get everyone together for a family picture. Unfortunately my older brother and his daughter and girlfriend weren't able to come.

All the ceilings had this cool pattern original to the house.

We were very excited to be able to go home to Washington for about 10 days. We had a great time with the family and friends that we were able to see. We started the trip off by staying at Fort Columbia in Scarborough house. It used to be a hospital when the fort was in opperation. My grandparents and aunt Kathy, Uncle Donny, CC and aunt Debbie were able to come stay with us there. We even were able to spend half a day at the beach without it raining on us.
