Proud of their Pumpkin!

Monday we all went to a local farm and pumpkin patch on a field trip. The kids had a great time seeing lots of animals, going on a hayride, and picking out pumpkins. Brent gave his pumpkin to his teacher, which he adores. She and I were both afraid that once we got ready to do something with the pumpkins that he would get upset. But, he really wanted her to have it. Anyway, Anna Kathryn shared her pumpkin and each one painted one side. They decided they wanted to paint instead of carve their pumpkin this year. As you can see, they are very proud of it. They did a great job.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma!

Here are a few pictures from my Grandmother's 90th Birthday! Please don't tell her she is on the internet, she will be worried sick. I thought it was a beautiful picture and she is actually smiling for the camera which is a rarity. She is a beautiful woman and this weekend reminded me how lucky we all are to have her in our lives. She has 6 kids, 18 grandkids, and 12 great grandkids. I think that is right. It was great to see so much of the family.

Brent Singing at Grandparent's Day

This is Brent singing at Grandparent's Day. Looking at the video he is just to the right of the teacher. I think he did a spectacular job, but then again I might be a little biased.
