1st Snow of the Season

It turned out to be a good thing we winterized, we
woke up the next morning to a blanket of fresh snow.

Winterizing

Last weekend we hesitantly decided it was time to start preparing for winter. I volunteered do go to the store and buy what we needed if Marq would do it...I try to help out ;)








Unfortunately he never lets me off the hook that easy. I have a small fear of the ladder but he convinced me that he couldn't wrap the swamp cooler without my help. I very carefully climbed up onto the roof and helped.











Turns out Chevy hates the ladder too. She sat down on the patio and cried the entire time.She likes us on the ground... that makes two of us.


Two of my FAVORITE girls!





A few weeks ago oldest sister Rikkie was nice enough to let us borrow our two beautiful neices for the night. We had SO much fun with Mckenna & Madilyn at our first sleepover in our new house.


Friday night we took them to dinner at an Italian restaurant by our house. Madilyn is so cute :) She insists on sitting by me but then flirts with Marq constantly! I don't think she quit giggling all through dinner!!! Mckenna & I nearly had to split the two of them up :)

We went home and played games & had ice cream. Saturday morning Madi woke us all up EARLY and we took Chevy to our park to play. We went to Wheeler Farm where we fed the ducks, saw the farm & animals and went for a wagon ride. Even Chevy got to come! We had a picnic in our living room for lunch and then hung out at Barnes & Noble.

Thanks for coming to stay with us guys! We loved it!!! Come again ANYTIME!

We missed you Kennedy & Aidyn! We'll have another sleepover next time you're here!!!

Oktoberfest





A couple of weeks ago we went to Oktoberfest at Snowbird with Brittany, Ryan and Taylor for some authentic German brats. We try to get up there at least once every year. It was GREAT to hang out with Britt & Ry, we never see them anymore!

BROST!
