Happy 1st Anniversary Washington

Wow, I can't believe it has already been a year since we moved here. When we pulled in this time last year we thought it was all planned out and how it would go, then nothing went the way we had planned. I thank God for that. It hasn't been the easiest road, but it has been a road that has taught us a lot. We've learned even more so what is truly important and what really doesn't matter. We have such an amazing support group with family & friends. We thank you all for the encouragment and love. We are enjoying life in the Pacific NW and we are truly thankful for everything.

this is a picture of one of our views, the colors are amazing

Happy Birthday to you....

Good Times at the Pumpkin Patch

Fall is in the air, pumpkins on the ground and good times all around!

We went to the pumpkin patch with our friends today. It was a beautiful pacific northwestern day with blue skies and in the 60's. The kids had a blast playing on the hay pyramid. It had tunnels throughout and places to hide from each other. We rode the hay ride out to the pumpkin fields where everyone picked out their perfect pumpkin. Can I say "that's a lot of pumpkin seeds we get to roast". Stephen and Richard were our studly pumpkin haulers, they had fun with it even though the wheel barrels looked pretty heavy loaded to the rim with everyones pumpkins and ours had a squeaky wheel. There was a pumpkin sling shot for those who dared to try their strength and skill; that was funny to watch. We all sipped on hot apple cider and hot chocolate, YUMMY!!! All in all what a wonderful day
