Fa la la la la la la la la

With Thankgiving celebrated and over, today was the day to cut our Christmas tree. We missed Joelle, Steven, and Bethany, but had Kimberly, Hannah and Sandi to enjoy the day with!

It was a tough tree but after MANY chopping attempts, we finally got it down!

A few pics

A fun and cold day at Bellewood Acres with Isaiah's preschool class. We learned alot and had a great time!

Mud Puddles!

I think that the pictures tell the story well enough. Mom was at work, dad was in charge of the boys. Mud was everywhere and they had fun!

Halloween Fun

Between a local Harvest Party and our church Trunk or Treat, Isaiah and Elias had great opportunity to try out their costumes. My gorilla and lion were both ready to party!

A winning find

Today at one of our routine stops to the local kids consignment store, we made a HUGE FIND! There stuck in between several very normal winter jackets was a Denver Broncos Jacket. Never mind that it is two sizes too big for Isaiah right now. Never mind that someone dared to get rid of a Broncos jacket when the team is 6-0 right now.

All that matters is that when Isaiah saw the Broncos logo on the front, his eyes lit up and he screamed (in the middle of the store) "Go Broncos!" All that matters is that Isaiah couldn't wait until Seth got home to show him the surprize!

Pumpkin Patch!

One of the best parts of the fall is a trip to the pumpkin patch! This year was exceptional because we didn't lose anyone in the corn maze and we had a professional photographer (Will)along to capture some great moments.

Isaiah's First Day of Preschool!

This fall Isaiah started going to preschool. He has Monday's with Teacher Daddy, Tuesday's with Teacher Danielle (a friend of ours who has a great preschool in her home!), Wednesday's with Teacher Grandma and Thursday's with Teacher Mommy. He LOVES to learn and really eats up everything we put in front of him. He's working on counting to 100, learning the sounds for each letter, doing basic addition, being a good big brother and having fun in life! He is really enjoying reading about the Parables from the Bible right now and is truly amazed at the miracles that Jesus did. It's great for Seth and I to read the stories from a 4 1/2 year old's perspective and to watch Isaiah process through the Word of God. It's great to be a parent!
