oh Pumpkins

Kylie packed her Ladybug Lunchbox and was going to a school outing to get a pumpkin, roast seeds, and who knows what. She was so excited to get to school. She is all about food and FUN. Hayli also got to pack her lunch. She was not going to the Pumpkin Patch. Grandpa put a root beer candy in her lunchbox. Oh the house is full of yummy smells. - Sweet Pepper Relish is canned - Applebutter is condensing in the crockpot. Oh the aromas! Tommorrow is a special batch of Applesauce... maybe 2 batches.

The Fuji's are here

Finnally! Did not think they would get here. The air has a touch of chill. What a great day to start the "Canning of the Harvest". I am getting the "Old Fashioned Applebutter" and the "Sweet Pepper Relish" started today. Both recipes take 2 days, so tomorrow I can get them canned. Jason and Lisa have decided on a name... Maci Jo. Lisa is really BIG and baby Maci is very active. I think we might have the arrival before January 1st.

Fall

Anticipating yummy Fuji Apples this week. Girls are ready for Pumpkin Dip to have with their apples. Halloween Is coming around fast. Hayli wants to be a witch , Kylie wants to be a werewolf. Joe and I are going to hide in the house. Not many kids Trick or Treat in our neighborhood.

Hayli is Coming Home

Lisa, Kylie, and Jamie (Lisa's friend) headed out to MO this morning to pick up Hayli. She has been sick and will be coming home sooner than expected. Hayli does not know they are on the way to bring her home. She will be very upset. I miss her and although Kylie says she does not miss her - I think she does.

Pre-K Grad

Kylie has graduater from Asbury Preschool. She wants to start Kindergarden right away at Emerson.

What a whirlwind of activity this summer. Joe and I have been working in the yard. (hauling rock, planting, sweeping, and chopping wood) After this week we should be done with the major work. We will post pics.

Forgotten in Camera

We recently pulled out the video camera to shoot Kylie's preschool graduation. We found her preschool Christmas program and this shy encounter with Santa. I especially like Jason's audio reactions.

Jason, Lisa, Hayli, and Kylie are expecting a new arrival in January. Joe and I are excited about our new grandbaby.

Best Friends

Best Friends Kylie and Alexia ( our neighbor). They were goofing off yesterday and Joe took some pics.
