Fall 09

It's been a hectic fall for us! Between car lines at school, vacations, visitors, and fall projects at camp, we've had fun. Here are the pictures to prove it.



Gene and Kathy were here to celebrate Hannah's birthday after Mike and I got back from Gatlinburg. Kathy got Pin the Tail on the Donkey as a fun party game, we all played, it was fun!


Carrie's honestly not peeking! :)



Ice Cream cake for the birthday girl!

We were pretty busy on Hannah's real birthday (I don't remember why, maybe Mike had a meeting), so she had birthday pancakes with sprinkles and candles. It was a hit!



Mike wanted to take the girls to my *favorite* place to eat--Chuck E. Cheese! (did you catch the sarcasm?) He knows how to make their day, and of course they loved it. Hannah felt so special that day!


Hannah sharing her gifts with her sisters. She loves to paint, draw, etc., so she got a giant drawing pad, lots of waterpaints, colored pencils, etc. Everyone must know that's her favorite thing to do because that's what she got from several friends and cousins, too!


This is a really cool building block house with rooms, couches, chairs, fireplaces, tables, etc. They played so nicely together for a long time.

A rainy September day! We've had lots of rainy, dreary days this fall.

We went to visit my sister, Sarah, over fall break. We LOVED getting to see her and John and their 10 week old baby, Clara. They're planning on moving to Colorado in January, so we were glad to see them while they're still within driving distance. Sarah took us to the playground at the school where she worked...the kids loved it!


Alli climbing.


Carrie swinging.

Then my mom and dad came for Hannah's grandparent's day at her school. We LOVED having them here. Grandparents are so much fun, we're so blessed to have both sets be such a big part of the kids' lives.

Grandma and Grandpa Humphrey relaxing with the kids before bedtime...so cozy!


Halloween! Alli wanted to be Minnie Mouse (a costume borrowed from our friend, Angie), but she would only call herself "Missy Mouse!"

Carrie as a colt's cheerleader.

Hannah was Mary Poppins. Here she is roping a calf at our church's trunk or treat!

And here's "Missy" Mouse about to rope a calf.

And the three girls together. Mary Poppins' costume was mostly made by my mom. She brought a black skirt, hat, and umbrella with her when they came. Then she altered the skirt to fit Hannah. I sewed a bow on the shirt and a flower on the hat. She had fun and got lots of compliments. She's been watching Mary Poppins a lot this fall.

Looks like you have been wicked busy! Love the halloween costumes, esp. Mary Poppins - a favorite around our house.
