Thanksgiving Day

We had a great Thanksgiving. Grandma came for a 2 week visit. It was so nice to have her help. Every thanksgiving we take the kids to J.C's orchard to take pictures with the pumpkin. When I saw the pumpkin hat at the store I had to get it just for these pictures. Parker loved sitting in the pumpkins.

Sunday Best

These pictures were taken behind our church. Parker however wanted no part of it.

First Day of Senior Kindergarten

Jake started Senior Kindergarten this fall. He is in french immersion and I think he knows more french than I do and it is only October. He surprises me everyday with the things he says and does. It is fun watching him grow however sometimes I wish he could stay a baby forever.

Camping with the Nichols

On the September long weekend we went to Charleston Lake with the Nichols. Ontario has so many beautiful campgrounds (minus the mountains of course). Jake, Abbey and I caught our first fish. The kids had so much fun with Ashton and Alia. We overheard Ashton tell Abbey he loved her. The wedding plans are in the works. They are so sweet. Anyway it was a good wrap up for the summer.

My Little Cutties

I actually bribed the kids to cooperate for these pictures. They did pretty good. They will thank me one day for all the posing I make them do!

Jake is Five

Jake turned 5 on August 27. I can't believe how fast time fly's when you have little kids. I wish I couled keep them little forever. We had a really fun party for him. Of course it was cowboy themed. We had horse races and a pinata and lots of other fun games. Jake loved it. Jordy had actually aranged to borrow a miniature horse for the back yard, however it unfortunately didn't work out. Anyway he had fun anyway. Jake is 100% boy. He loves sports and has a true passion for horses and all that kind of stuff. He can be a little stinker but is always the first to cuddle with me and tell me he loves me.
