1st annual pumpkin carving

Cassandra went to bed early. The girls did a very quick job at this since it was late at night.

Starting of girls 2008 pictures

So as most of you know I have a business

"Memories on Paper"

I have a great love to take photos.

So, since then I have been taking the girls photographs. So here is a couple photos. I decided that this year I would do pictures throughout the year and then the first batch would be given for Christmas and then another set would be given out in May when school is out.

I did some contrast and light work to make these pictures look a little bit different. I absolutely love doing this.

So, if you are looking for a photographer I'm your gal.

Check out some of my jobs and also some abstract art at my webpage at http://www.memoriesonpaper.photoreflect.com/

God Bless!

Day at the Pumpkin Ranch

Not only was it the girls first time at a Pumpkin patch but it was mine as well. We had fun.

Aubrey, Cassie Kaeli's friend), Kaeli, and Cassandra is on this side right

All the girls were able to paint a pumpkin.

This was alot of fun but definetely messy

Aubrey's, Cassie's, Kaeli's, and Cassandra

Look at these artists

They had a few little rides and activites for the kids. It was definetely expensive though.


They had this really cool pumkin tree. I took lots of pictures here. The girls all thought it was really cool. We had alot of fun.





After the Pumpkin Ranch Kaeli went to Estes Park with Cassie to go horse back riding for Cassie's birthday.

Status on our House

There has been alot of progress made on our home. My husband has been running ragged. I wish I knew more about remodeling so that I could help him. So,Here is what we have:

This is our bedroom currently.
Looks more like a storage unit


This is our living room.
Well it also looks like a storage unit.
This has also been Alan and my bedroom.
You never know how awesome having a bed is
until you have slept on the couch for almost 30 days.

Bathroom! The toilet and tub work.

Cassandra's room. This should be done this weekend.
This is Aubrey and Kaeli's room.

But right now it is bedroom for all three girls

Kitchen! Looks awesome
It will look even better when it is finished.
We will be custom building island/table and
finishing the tile work.

Look at my gorgeous 5 burner stove
That's right 5 burners

So that is where we are at. Thank you for all your prayers in every area. And also for your time. I know that we will get it done very soon.

Updates in the Life

Well, I wish that I could say that things got 100% better after that last blog but, that would be lying.
The following week while helping working on my house I got bit by a "fire ant". Within 3 days it had swelled up bigger then my knee.
I went to the hospital and they put me on some antibiotics. I just go that cleared up and THEN....
Thursday September 18 Kaeli, Aubrey, and I went to bible study. When I got out of the car it hurt a little bit. When I went to walk from the car it was very hard and it was very painful.
I eventually got downstairs and sat down. I called Alan and he was a little upset and said why didnt you drive home?
Eventually he came to get me and when he got there he knew it was a good thing that I did not drive home. We went straight home that night. It was a very rough night. It took me 45min. to get to the bathroom. I have to tell that it is very hilarious seeing a 30 year old women having a hard time getting up off the floor when your back hurts.
Anyways I went to the hospital on that friday. They did some x-rays. Saw the old compression fracture from when I was 15. Doctor said that it looks like that has moved causing it to press on one of my nerves.
So, as of today I am still in pain. Much better then it was but it still hurts.
I know that there are lots of my friends praying for me and I thank you so much for that.
God Bless you all
