My Mom and I

We went to a bunch of second hand stores :)

Random self portrait :)

We went to Once Upon a Child.

Not recommended when you have a brand new Niece...

I kinda wanted to just take all the sweet baby girl clothes in that store, I kept on telling myself to have SELF CONTROL!! :)

I had a really great time! It was worth the 12 years of school....heheh :)

Then yesterday our whole family went to a Ernie hass and Signature Sound concert! 

We all had a blast! :) 

Brooke and Jesse waiting for it to start..

 EHSS... :)

Hope you all are having a wonderful week-end! :)

Snow....

Yesterday we got our first snow!

The first snow is always exciting! And then after that...well...not so exciting :)

This snow will probably melt, but it won't be long before we have snow that will stay for a few months.

Has it snowed where you live???

Thank YOU!!!

I want to thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes. 
You all had such sweet words that made my day even better!!

I had a very very memorable and fun 18th birthday. Lets see.....

In the morning I opened some presents.

Then we went to CHURCH!!!

For lunch our family ordered pizza and ate it in the park

Then...My sweet sweet S-W-E-E-T Oldest sis Jennifer offered to take all the kids home so that Mom, Dad Ker, and I could go see the movie COURAGEOUS!!!

We went with a bunch of people from our church....Oh, was it fun! :) From singing songs while waiting in line for the movie to start, to getting happy birthday sung to me 3 times in the theater (I think by the 3rd time my face just got a little pink instead of bright red!! Thanks guys :) Yes, Definately a birthday I will not forget!!

Kerri and I waiting for Courageous to start

Courageous was SO SO good!  If you have not seen it already you must! :)

And now I am 18 :) Don't feel much different.....LOL :)

It's Fall!!

And soon it will be winter....ok maybe I am getting a little ahead of myself. 

But it's OCTOBER...How did that happen???

Is it just me or did summer go by WAY WAY to fast? I am a summer girl so I am having a hard time excepting that summer is over. But, it will come again.....I guess. 

I love fall too...but I just don't like the fact that after fall, comes winter! 

We don't have a whole lot of pretty trees on our yard. 

But I found what I could and took pictures of them :)

So You enjoying fall? Are you happy winter is coming?

Yippee!!!

Baby Brother/Sister #13 is in the oven!!! :)

Yes, I am extremely excited!!!!! 

Lord willing he/she will make it's arrival in the middle of March.

I am going to be a sister to 12 YEAH!!!!!!!

Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. Psalms 135:3

Summertimeness

Summer is coming to an end....sigh....that makes me sad :(

I realize I haven't been a very good blogger this summer, but hey...who wants to sit around and edit pictures and blog them in summer time? :) 

And thats why in this post I am skipping the sitting around and editing and just going straight to the posting! Here are a handful of (ahem unedited) my fav. pictures from this month so far......

Nathan Playing tennis and a few more....

Yesterday after a great Sunday service, our family had a nice relaxing day in the park.

The kids (and Jen :) were playing tennis (without the tennis net thingy) most of the afternoon.

While I was taking pictures of them playing Nathan was being rather goofy so my camera seemed to stay glued to him! :) But I did get a few shots of the others playing too though.....
