It has been a long time.

I know it has been a very long time since we have updated this thing...so sorry! We have been up to a lot. I posted some pictures from Halloween and other fall activities today - so you can all see what we have been doing the last couple months.

Halloween

Dawson the dinosaur and Jamie the clown.

Lets go get some Candy

Ready to go get some treats. (Dawson already got some from one of our neighbors - he pretty much ate candy the entire time we were out.)

Downtown

Once again our neighboorhood was packed with people...Trick-or-treating and checking out the tons of houses that go all out for halloween.

Carving Pumpkins

Carving (or using power tools, whatever...) our pumpkins.

The Finished Pumpkins

Here are the results of all the drilling and cutting.

Hayride

We went to a pumpkin farm to pick out pumpkins and went on a hayride one really warm October Saturday.

Big Hay Bales

Way up high on the hay bales.

Horsey

We wont get away with these naked baby pictures much longer...she's getting too big!

Happy 1st Birthday Jamisen!

It was Jamie's 1st birthday on Sept. 14.

We had a party this weekend at the park near our house with both sides of the family. Then We went to a Tigers game (but left Jamie at home...I know, that wasn't very nice to do on her birthday, but she had a good time I promise.)

Dawson the big helper

Walking

Oh, and by the way...she is walking all over the place now.

Mmmm Ice Cream Cake

Tigers Game

We ended the day at a Tigers game. We picked the right one to go to...it was a pretty good game and they won. (I know it looks like they aren't having fun, but it was fun.)

Too Loud?

The ballpark was pretty packed, which made for a loud crowd.

Mmmm pretzel

Preztels like this only taste good at ballparks.

Joel & Emily's Wedding - August 26, 2006 - Heritage CRC in Kalamazoo

I think I can now consider myself a professional bridesmaid at this point...(at least for this summer) since being in my brother Joel and Emily's wedding this weekend was the third one of the month that I stood up in. It was a lovely day, and here are the pictures to prove it:

All Dressed Up

Here we are all color-coordinated and everything...but we couldn't get a good picture of the 4 of us no matter what we tried. This is one attempt and another one is below.
