So many blessings... Happy Fall!!!

Happy Fall! It's October! And just because it's fall... doesn't mean our family check list is just for summer time anymore... we've decided to make a check list for every season! Our kiddos LOVE it and look forward to checking off our to-do list with every exciting adventure awaiting us...



Our lives have been so full of blessings... we are so grateful and so humbled by all of the greatness that we have witnessed and been a part of lately. We love watching our kiddos make-believe and play together... such a neat part of childhood.





Our family has been blessed with a new little bundle of joy... she is so precious and wonderful just like her Mommy and Daddy. Her cousins adore everything about her. And so do we!



School is going great. Minds are growing and learning and thriving. So wonderful and exciting. Still hard to believe our sweet girls are big first graders. We are so proud of them.


While sisters are away... the boys and I play! Well, after our daily "to-do" lists are checked and done... we take a little time to play and have fun! I miss my girls... but I am loving this special time with my boys too. Bitter, sweet.






Football season is upon us. We are not only enjoying watching our Oregon Ducks win the Day... but are enjoying watching my man coach his Pleasant Hill Billies in another awesome football season. Love that about Fall season!



Weekends are just as busy as weekdays. But we love it. We not only attend our Church as listeners, but attend our Church as Leaders now. My hubs and I happily lead the Children's Ministry a few times a month... hubs is in charge of Funday Sunday in the gym and I am happily in charge of the sweet five year old group! Been loving every minute! And so have our kiddos. They look forward to Sunday mornings attending church... worshiping, spending time with wonderful friends and enjoying the love that surrounds us. A few weeks ago our little family had the opportunity of being featured in the welcome brochure... a super fun momento to scrapbook for our kiddos.


I feel so privileged because once a week... with my little guys in tow... I have the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful group called Moms Equipped... I share my leadership as the designated Welcome Greeter of the group... I love it and am so excited to spend a few hours a week with some amazing Women/ Moms. So much to smile about, that's for sure!


And as our world keeps turning... life keeps going and going... and although things seem very dim in parts of our world unfortunately... we are doing our best to shield our kiddos from the ugly and help them focus on the beauty in our lives. We count our blessings, are so very thankful for each other and the many wonderful good that still exists in this world.
