First Big Snow of the Season!

 Our crew is always so thrilled to wake up to the first fresh snow of the season! 

 Porter said, "I just love how I feel when it snows and is Christmas season!"  Joy. 

 

Headed to the little sledding hills. . .

 They couldn't wait to make the snow fly on the trampoline :)  And of course, food coloring/water spray. . .

Someone is not going to let mom in the house without a snowball fight ;)

After a fun day in the snow, we had the opportunity to go serve those in our community.  It was a very meaningful time.  Porter said, "We love to go out in the snow, but I bet the people without a home do not."  Thankful for a day where we were able able to play together and serve together.  And thankful for a warm house to come home to. 

Happy Halloween 2014!

Our baby, pirate, Darth Vader, and army guy. . .

Trick or Treat Grammy and Grampa. . .pizza please! 

The people handing out candy loved these babies as they said, "Twick or Tweet." One of the ladies told them they could pick 2 candies and then she said, "I'm impressed you can count to two!" ;) 

Eleven. . .lots of laughs

Ainsley turned 11 and had an Art party.  Seriously, these girls are so much fun.  They laughed and laughed together! 

 

 

They each got to paint a canvas and decorate a picture frame with buttons. . .

 Ainsley and I stayed up late the night before and made her birthday treats. . .we went heavy on the food coloring and the girls mouths turned colors. . more laughter :) 

Happy 11th Birthday Ainsley!  We thank God for you and for the beautiful young lady you are becoming. . .on the inside and out!  We love you and we love laughing with you and your friends :)

 

Girls on the Run 5K

This was Ainsley's 3rd and last year in the Girls on the Run!  She is already looking forward to Girls on Track next year :)  These girls set goals for themselves before the race and met their goals! 

We were thankful to have cheers from Grammy and Grampa along the way!  Sporting their medals after the race. . .Ainsley sprinted at the end and her mom couldn't keep up ;) 

 And my fav part. . .Starbucks afterwards to celebrate and warm up!

Way to go girls!
