The Gang!

Well when our family was here for Thanksgiving Amy and I went to go shopping and left the guys with the kids. So when we got back these are the pictures they showed us. The kids were so dirty that they all got baths and were in clean clothes when we had got back from town. They had so much fun playing in the dirt. You have to play in the dirt when you are a kid! I remember those days!

We had a fun Halloween this year now that maddie is more moblie. We did not go out and go trick or treating but all of our friends and famliy came to see us. I love to see what all the kids are dressed up as. Next year we will maybe introduce her to the door to door trick or treating. She did not really catch on this year so we just stayed home and enjoyed the company. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!

My little Cowgirl

Maddie got to go to her first Round-up this year. She loved it! I was amazed that she sat through three and half days of the rodeo. She loved watching the grand entry she thought that was pretty cool. I was so excited to take her and she even got to wear my boots and wranglers that I use to wear when I was her age. She loves her red boots she would wear them all time if I would let her. We can't wait to see how excited she is to watch the rodeo next year.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

A beautiful stop we made on one of the trails

Well Labor day weekend we set off to have some fun! We decided to go hiking. It was maddies first time to go in her new backpack we got. Mike did the honors of packing her and I am glad he decided to because if his legs got sore the next day then I would have not been able to walk. We ended up driving down to Multnomah Falls and went on some of the trails right off the old highway. We had a great time even though it rained the whole weekend we still made the best of it. I guess you could say that I am glad it was not real hot.
