October

I know I know where have my posts been....

in my mind!

This going to be a summery of October since the month has passed us by...

to start out we had Our Annual Family Fall Party at the Ponderosa.

Here are  kids giving me there back sides...every time a walk anywhere's near them with a camera, they run like mice!!!!

Steve bought a new-to-us vehicle and we had to do more repairs than we had intended.  Some he could do and some he couldn't do.

One Saturday, Steve and Troy spent about 5 hours under the front axle replacing something that makes it go voom! Here they are sharing a father-son moment...priceless.

I'm sooo grateful for a husband that has a working knowledge of just about everything...and he has done a good job teaching our boys about repairs and ownership.

Next was pumpkin carving time....

I carved one for my neighbor man Bob 

Trent carved his all by himself...he wasn't too happy with his first attempt..so he ended up with a three faced pumpkin 

and then we had a school party...

Here is Trent as a Red Wings Hockey Player

Troy attends KCTC in Grand Rapids.  He is enrolled in the IT program.  They had an open house so parents could come see what their kids are up to.  He is showing us the computer he works on.  His friend Tyler (which attends also!) is to the right of Troy.  These boys get up every school day around 5:15 to ride the bus down to KCTC.  So proud of them! 

Well that about shapes up October for us.  Soon coming...a concert and a dream...check back!
