Happy Birthday Rob. We took Rob bowling for his birthday. It was fun to watch the kids bowl. Afterwards we went and had pizza. I just want Rob to know that he has made my life complete. I don't know what I would do with out him. I hope this next year is a wonderful year for you. I love you!

Look who is 14 months this week....

Sam I can not believe how big you are getting. What a delight you are. You like to tease and talk. You are always talking about something. I love the gibber that comes out of your mouth. You like to eat and get into everyones stuff. You are loud. No matter where we go, everyone knows that you are there. I love that about you. You have a smile that attracts everyone. I love your dimples. Sam you are one of a kind. I don't know how we got on with out you. You brighten my days. We sure love you.

Chrisy Boy

So Chris football team made it all the way to the big championship game undefeated. It was an incrediable season and we are so proud of him. I am happy to say they won the Championship game. Way to go Chris!!! Chris also had his first ever science project due this last week. Oh the man hours! I am proud of Chris for the long hours he worked on it and for the fun we had learning about air inversions. I added a few other pictures because Chris is such a great big brother. Sam is not easy to hang out with. He likes everything done his way. Imagine that. :) Chris always takes care of him and plays with him. Sam just adores Chris.

Halloween festivities

Here are a few pictures of our Halloween festivities. We had a Branch truck or treat that was super fun. It was also a chili cook off. I made a white chicken chili and got 3rd place. I was pretty proud of that. Rebekah had a little Halloween parade at her school and Sam and I went to watch. This year Bekah was a fairy princess. She looked so cute. Chris was a football player and wore his team jersy. Sam was a lion. He didn't like wearing the hat part of the costume, but he looked darling. He didn't have a clue about anything that was going on, but he enjoyed himself and all the treats he could get his hands on. :) I also took the kids to Robs work to trick or treat in his office. They thought that was really cool and Rob liked showing them off. On Halloween I took Chris and Bekah out trick or treating and Rob and Sam stayed home to pass out candy. Boy we didn't have a clue how to celebrate Halloween till we came here. It was a big street party. Everyone had music blairing in their yards and had the BBQ's out. They were celebrating with family and friends. Some houses even had haunted houses in the yards. It was incrediable! The air smelt so good because everyone was cooking on the grill! I decided next year that we have got to step it up a bit. It was a lot of fun.
