6 Times the Fun!

I was SO EXCITED that we had one more weekend in November of really nice weather.  Nice weather means GREAT opportunity for outdoor pictures!  :-)  My nieces and nephews were fun to photograph - although some of them made me work a little harder to get a smile.  :-) I think they know I'm their aunt.  :-)  I'm thrilled with the results!  Here are my favorites . . .

October in Review

Whew! October was a B-U-S-Y month!  Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to...

On a scavenger hunt at Cole's 3rd b-day party at Eden Park...

...playing with the b-day boy.

Visited a helicopter...

...and the SWAT vehicle at West Chester Hospital's safety event.

Celebrated Clayton's 4th birthday with a family day at the zoo.

Clayton loves his pet Beta fish, named "Gill" that he got for his birthday.

So glad that Dana & Phil could come for a visit - at GBS Homecoming here.

So glad it was warm enough to play in the sand box - so fun especially with cousins!

Thrilled that Dana won a house party and let us see/play with the cool toys she got!

At the zoo with 4 monkeys and a turtle! :-)





SO hilarious that Addy was trying to put her chapstick on Tanner and he was letting her (for a little bit)! :-)

Sang in a revival in Gas City, IN - went to Ivanhoes afterwards and the balloon man was there! :-)

So glad we could stay at Grandma-Great's house!

Some early trick-or-treating at the Library (so we used their Lego costumes from last year). 

Corn Maze fun!

Shaving cream fun!

Clayton decorated a turkey for the newspaper.

Trunk or Treat at church - SO FUN!


And that's a little of our October fun!

Shaving Cream Fun

Cookie Sheets + Shaving Cream + 2 kids = LOADS of fun.


Getting a little carried away - I have no idea how he got so much in his hair.

Clayton has learned his initials (C and H) and the letter O. He loves writing them over and over.   

I made the "A" for Addy.  She knows what it is and that her names starts with that letter. But for now she can only draw an "O".  :-)

Clayton called me to come look and proudly said: "I made a map of the WHOLE world!"  


I really don't know why we haven't done this fun activity sooner. The kids LOVED it! :-)

A Disciplined Life

One day, my life will be in order... Until then, I'll read about how I can try to get it there.  :-)  I love following Money Saving Mom and all her tips and tricks on saving money. Haven't read this one yet, but for only 99 cents for the e-book, I certainly plan to.


the Deuel Family

Family pictures are so fun to do - especially with Fall colors.  And good friends make it even more fun!  
We always love getting together with Matt, Erika, and Hannah.
