Leaves Are Falling On The Ground, On My Head, on the Ground

Fall is my favorite season of the year. I love to watch all the different trees turn colors. It is also the one time of year that I have to make my children say something about eachother that they love about one another. (It do it more often than once a year, it just has more of an impact on the kids when I make them use their minds) Everyone knows that Fall is the perfect time year for outside fun. Whether it is from putting up Painting houses and Gardening to hanging up Christmas Lights and raking leaves. We have had such beautiful weather for the past week, I couldn't stand to be cooped up in my house another day, so I took the boys outside and WE ALL played in the leaves.

According to God's Plan

So being that we are all members of the church and that we all know that sometimes what we think is a good plan and are willing and ready to do that plan, the Lord doesn't always agree! So just to update everyone who has been reading our blog or just started, here it goes.

As many of you knew, we were planning on moving to Oklahoma this next year. Well after much prayer and pondering, those plans have changed. We feel that it is not time for us to leave good ol' Columbia. Apparently there is more for us to do here. The timing still isn't right for us to move after all these years of waiting patiently. With Louis being in school and with personal family situations, there will be no move for us at this time. So sorry to all of you that want us gone, you are stuck with us again for a few more years. (This is where I would laugh in that evil hysterical laugh, but I don't know how, something like mwahahaha.)

Happy Halloween!!!!

So after a long week of everyone having some kind of flu, only 3 of us were able to go trick or treating this year. Louis was home this year for Halloweeny and was able to take them out while the rest of us stayed home and tried to get better! Maybe next year we will have everyone!

Mother of the Year Award

So this is the face of Cameron right after he stuck his finger in the burning flame of the candle. Yes, out of 5 children, he is the first to grab the flame. So naturally I did what any mother would do to keep their child safe. I yelled, "NO". Now what? I made my kid cry on his birthday, what a great mom huh!

Happy 2nd Birthday already?

Ooops, another bites the dust!

So in the midst of everything, I realized that it is now November, almost half way through, (okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea) and I still don't have any blog updates from Cameron's birthday or even Halloween! So here are a bunch of pictures. Enjoy!
