Here is our family Thanksgiving dinner photos. What a blessed day to spend with our family. We had a lovely yummy dinner and great conversation.

Will update soonish ;)

I have so many things to update on the blog. We have our last trip in September/October, Ashten's birthday, and the final bathroom pictures. So much going on and so little time to post on the blog. Also we will have Thanksgiving pictures and then tree cutting to post after this Saturday. So hopefully I will get to it all by the end of this week. :)

Mom's bday

We went to Quincy for breakfast at the Morning Thunder Cafe. It is a beautiful drive. :) It was a fun morning to celebrate my moms birthday. And no I won't share how old she is. ;)

Grouting the shower

On labor day weekend my mom volunteered to help me grout the bathroom shower while Keller and two friends helped him rid the barn of pigeons!!! It was awesome to tackle two big jobs in one day and could not have done it all without great friends and my mom. The barn was pressure washed and the upper vents closed in and stalls cleaned out. :) Both kids really helped out too Ashten in the barn with the men and Gracie with us.

That evening although we were all exhausted we had a wonderful dinner at my moms. She made a complete dinner based around dinosaur bones! You can tell that our kids love dinos. My mom made yummy t-rex ribs, pteranodon wings, herbivore salad and dino egg potatoes. Thanks mom!!!! The kids just loved it.

Silly Kids

The kids were playing outside last night giggling away and having a great time with the doggy before bedtime. As it was starting to get darker the kids wondered if they could stay out and watch the twinkling stars while laying on the patio. Since it was a school night we decided they should wait till Friday night. :) They went out to play for a little longer and this is what I found when I went out to check on them and have them come in for bedtime. They just made us laugh!!!!
