PS...Notice Rykers gun noises in the back ground. To funny!

Live in the Moment

I have always wanted to be the type of person that lives in the moment, for the most part I think I do okay but I constantly remind myself how short life is and how quickly things change. We get so hung up in the day to day its not easy to smell the roses when you keep a busy schedule. The other day I was on Facebook and everyone is posting things they are grateful for...I didnt realize it was November and wondered what game I was missing out on. I think its time to plan the next family vacation.


Little Miss turned 7 in September and lost her two bottom teeth! We keep telling her not to grow up to fast but its happening in front of our eyes. Dean was able to volunteer for Kaylees Field trip on her Bday and had so much fun being with her and her class. I am so grateful for this little girl, she melts my heart! (and she knows it)



October was filled with adventure! Corn Maze with the Trolls, including the Teenage Trolls. 


Now this is a Corn Maze in the middle of a business park....huh? 
Caleb and Kora...the Teenage Trolls


Ryker Bo Byker....(most sentences rhyme in this house, especially your name). I think I got that from my Dad!


Kaylee Foe Faylee....Slidding with Daddy


Dean and I had the opportunity to volunteer for a field trip to a Dinosaur park and lucky enough to bring Ryker. That little boy is so smart he would raise his hand to the instructor and tell him all kinds of facts about Dinosaurs. "Did you know a Saucasucus is the biggest dinosaur in the whole world"? We are so proud of how smart both our kids are. 


Tricker Treat at the Zoo. Kaylee was a Monster High girl. 


Ninja Ryker


Pumpkin Carving


Creating memories with Daddy!


Ryker started Pre K at Kaylee's school. This picture also happened to be crazy hair day for Kaylee. Ryker seems to like school but also enjoys the days he gets to be with just Daddy. 



Caleb got his first Deer hunting with the Elwell Clan. So proud of him! Kinda grosses me out really but still proud. 


A few months ago we got to spend the weekend in Yuba Lake with the Percells. We just love spending time with them! It rained almost the entire weekend (why does that always happen to us) so we spent a lot of time in the camper. Brit had the kids in the back and they made a fort out of the bunk beds and decided to tell spooky stories. I just had to share this one......its classic! 



Thats it in a nut shell! We are waiting patiently to hear about our house in Huntsville.....tap.....tap......tap. Being a lender it has been an experience to be on the buying side again. One that I am not sure I enjoy especially when its a short sale! Dean had to go back to nights for a couple of months and I feel as if I never see him, when I do its in passing while he is going to bed and I am starting my day. I dont like the night shift one bit!!!! Morgan flew the coup....it was a hard few weeks but he is doing really well and happy to be out on his own. Nothing could have prepared me for how I feel with him away. We are spending our Xmas Holiday in Huntsville and cant wait to spend four fabulous days skiing with our family!


Peace...love....cheers

Brenda and Dean
