Halloween 2010

Trent's school party was on Friday and they celebrated big. They paraded around the neighborhood, had tons of snacks and played classroom games. Here he is trying to get bubble gum out of bag, unwrapped and in his mouth with gloves on.Enjoying orange slices with his teacher Amy.All dressed up for trick or treating. We took Trent and the neighbor Breegan in to Sparta on Sunday night. Kent City had there T or Ting on Saturday and we had our Family Fall Festival at the Ponderosa...and believe it not I have not one picture of the time there....what was I thinking?? Breegan was Dorothy and Trent was a Samurai Ninja. Troy gave me a lot of heat over Trent's costume. "Mom you NEVER bought us a costume!!" and "You would have NEVER let us dress up as a ninja!"...what's a mom to do....I'm weak!Trent and Jack helping Troy haul leaves!Carving pumpkins. Trent worked on his with some help from Steve. Tyler and Alisha worked on there's together. Alisha admittedly said she had never carved a pumpkin! In her parents defense she is the youngest of six kids....you know ya get tired after awhile!So she had to scoop the guts..it was only fair! they planned out their face

Fall Footage.....

Fall is in the air, here in West Michigan!


This past Saturday we enjoyed our annual fall gathering at Uncle Jim & Aunt Karen's place. It used to be 'land', when we started this tradition since then, they have moved up there and built a house. It used to be known affectionately as the 'Pondersosa'. We have traced the early stages of the gathering to be somewhere in the 11 year range.
Obviously, the kids have grown a lot since it's early stages. They are now bringing girlfriends and boyfriends! We always enjoy hayrides and a
toasty bonfire! We have been blessed with beautiful weather the last couple of years.

Jaxi came this year...she had a ball running loose. She played with Lilly, Mike and Carrie's dog. I think she slept all Sunday, to catch up after all that running!

Most Michiganders would argue that Fall is there favorite season. They love that crispness in the air. Those beautiful changing colors. Apple crisp, hot cocoa, bonfires, hayrides, pumpkins.....and of course hunting!!

How about you...What's your favorite season????
