Happy Fall!

Making traditional pumpkin face cookies!

 Have you ever seen such a crew?  I'm not sure what Bruce was trying to be, but it got lots of attention!

 My black cat, candy fairy, Darth Vader, and Jedi Knight all had a great time this Halloween!

Rachel and her friend Anna

So beautiful!

The kids, all 5 of them, had fun decorating pumpkins.

 Some pictures on the diamond during our visit with Grandma Marsha.

Zachary's Birthday and other summer fun

Zachary had a wonderful 3rd birthday.  Almost all of his cousins and family was here to celebrate with him, and he had an amazing day.  Unfortunately, this birthday was celebrated with a broken arm.  He broke his left arm after falling (or being pushed) from the ladder to the monkey bars.  It happened just a week prior to his birthday, poor guy.  Needless to say, it didn't slow him down very much.  He still had a great day, and summer!

His awesome cake from Grandma Taylor and Nina.

A red tractor "just like Mr. Worley", his bud!

July 4th with cousin Isabelle.

 Even a broken arm couldn't stop Zachary from throwing knock out punches to Daddy!

Daddy's birthday!!

And, as usual, Zachary out working hard in the yard with his boots and wheelbarrow.  He loves to be outside!!

More Beach Fun!
