A little of this, a little of that...

I have all kind of pictures that need posting! I debated on doing lots of posts or one big hodge podge... so here is your hodge podge!

Little Reesey was so tired at supper the other night she scooted the chairs together and took a nap! {she actually stayed sleeping the whole night!}

Happy birthday to Bentley! He is 2!! Maybe the "puppy stage" will start to be over?!?! The girls were excited to celebrate with a new collar, bed and treats!

We had a great trip to the Quad Cities Wednesday and Thursday!! Our first stop was the Garner's! Hallie and Reese had a great time visiting Ella and Sydnee and Kim and I couldn't get in enough "girl talk time"!! The trip was NOT long enough!!! We'll have to plan an overnight with you or something!

My class at Scrapaganza was a "sell out"!! Thank you to all who came and made the night so fun! Here are Lolly and Marion {with a pumpkin in the middle!!} :)

We stayed the night at Becky's. Thanks so much for watching the girls!! {sorry about the popcorn}

Meet Peter Parker... I mean Levi :)

Hallie thought Levi's rats were so cool! {don't think we'll be getting one anytime soon!!}

We finished our trip stopping in Iowa City to have lunch with Jess!! Can't wait for you to come visit us in November!!

And I'll leave you with a little Happy Halloween from Hallie (left) and Ryan (right)

*Hallie thought of the polka dots all by herself!! She's so creative, makes me smile!!*

...and Miss Reese

Dinner in a pumpkin

I have had the request for the dinner in a pumpkin recipe a couple times now... so I figured it was that time of year again to post it!! We are waiting until next week to make it, so here is the link to last year's post! (can you believe how much we've changed???)

Last night Hallie wanted her picture by the fall decor outside. She looked too cute! I wanted to share with you some of the effects you can do with Picnik.com Try it out sometime with your digital pictures! (yes, I know... the cold weather has killed my flowers... but I'm just not ready to throw them out!!)
