We went to Chesaning with The Keoshians and Trish, Dave and Chae the day after Thanksgiving. They close off Main St. and have it lit with candles and people are singing Christmas carols.

Thanksgiving Day at my parents house.

This is Hansel. (Heather Boese's dog that we watch) She is always very cold and likes to be covered up or at least have a blanket nearby. She found Preston's Elmo chair w/a blanket and was in Heaven! :)

I was tagged by Sara to give a recipe that I really like. I am gonna cheat and just tell you to go to foodnetwork.com and type in creamy chicken noodle soup. It was a recipe on Semi Homeade with Sandra Lee. So yummy and easy!

Raking the leaves at Mana and Papa's!

Preston had a great time Trick or Treating this year! He was a riot!

Stephen and Preston's Pumpkins.

Stephen had his 11th Birthday party today! The kids had a ball! We also had the kids carve their pumpkins.

Here is the newest member of our family! :) My mom and dad recently had to put their Yorki Maxx down and so they got a new puppy- a Cockapoo that with the help of Chae they named "Gus".

I had the day off today, so we took Preston to the Apple Farm and got some goodies! Yum! Preston liked being outside and playing on all their fun stuff! What a beautiful Fall we are having so far!

Our trip to North Carolina to see Josh, Sara and baby Gage!

We dropped Stephen off to his Mom last Monday. :( So sad for us, but we will get to see him Sept 20-23 in NC when we go see Sara, Josh and Gage! Yeah! Hopefully time will go by fast until we see him!

This is a picture of the boys swimming at the pool where we stayed at the night before we dropped him off.

We got to meet Gage this weekend! What a cutie! So glad he is healthy and doing well! We miss you already buddy!

We went camping in Petostkey this past weekend. We had a great time and Petoskey is so pretty!

our latest family picture!

We went up to our friends cottage this past weekend. The kids had a great time and so did we! Here are some pics of us at the beach in there backyard.
