Our new House!

 We have finally started our new house.

 The dug out foundation.  The kids have a blast climbing on the huge piles of dirt and rock.

 The driveway back to the house.

 The driveway out toward the road.  This used to be a steep V, but we brought it up pretty flat.

 The superior walls being placed.

 We have a foundation in place.

 The side view.

Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

 The kids all had a lot of fun this year with carving pumpkins.  We let them all get in and messy.  Matthew didn't want to stop putting his hand inside the pumpkin and Kristen was pretty grossed out.

 Trick or Treating was a big success although we missed our usual fellow trick or treaters.

Pumpkins and Mums

The kids all picked a pumpkin and mommy got to pick a mum. The mums were a steal for only $2.  Although, they aren't fairing too well now that the snow fell.

A Sunny Sunday Afternoon

I was attempting to get a nice picture of the kids, but its near to impossible at this age.  I still think they are cute though.

Matthew is our piano prodigy.  Not really, but he likes to pretend, even turning the page of the song book every few notes.

Happy Spidey Birthday Ben!

 So I'm not a master baker, but I attempted to make a skyscraper spiderman cake.  Ben seemed to like it anyway.

 Ben and his friends Mason and Zach having a blast.

Ben and Kristen were very excited about this spiderman tent Ben got for his birthday so they had to sleep in it that night. A tight fit to say the least.

Ben's birthday gang!

Wildewood, NJ

The kids all really enjoy going to the shore, so we try to go once or twice a summer.  Its about a 4 hour drive to the Jersey shore or we would probably go more often.  Ben and Kristen ask about every other day "How many days until we go to the beach?"
