Baby Brunch

who does the cake maker, caterer call when the party is for Her? Her friend that was cut from the very same cloth (even though the cake had a "lean" to it). Saturday I had the pleasure to help with a baby shower for Jennifer Vines. We had a brunch to celebrate the coming of Baby Elijah, there was tons of food, gifts and fun times!We all know what a special person Jennifer is to each of us and I just hope she saw how much everyone cares for her. Congratulations Vines family...I can't wait to meet that baby.

Tricks or Treats...FUN

Here it is Nov 1st and Dan is starting his new job today, life is full of change. First let me say how thankful I am to God for His never failing provision and wonderful goodness, My God is an Awesome God!

Well since today is Nov 1st that means yesterday was Halloween. For Halloween we had a scary skeleton-mainly scary because the suit he wanted from Wal-Mart was to small. I wanted to make him one but he was sure to buy one was better, so I gave in!

We also had Dora, Ella was dead set on being Dora although she would be quick to tell you she did not have Dora hair...she refused to wear the wig! She did let me make her costume and I had fun doing that although I did wait until the day of Halloween to finally pull it all together. Yesterday I was painting canvas shoes, dying her skirt...sometimes I think I'm crazy

The amount of candy we now have in the house is obscene! When I asked Ella who was going to eat all the candy in the bag she was dragging while saying HEAVY she replied "I don't know"

But the scariest thing I saw on Halloween by far was the "Crazy Cat Lady" aka Rachel Capps...yes my sister. She won the office costume competiton I don't think they have ever seen anything quite like this before...that's our Rachel!

Ella found her so scary she refused to even hug her

Another Successful Carving

Another successful pumpkin carving!
Saturday was a lot of fun as friends, family and neighbors came out for our pumpkin carving party. The competition was stiff but the judges (Caleb, Ella had to forfeit to him since she was sick) have ruled

Rachel took 3rd with her witch
Johnathon took 2nd with the "Pick me" "Dora Rocks" design
and Jimmy came in 1st for his jester design

Caleb would have picked my spider but technically it was his pumpkin and DAD said "you can't pick your own"

The pumpkins have been carved, until next year!

Pumpkin Patch

Can't believe it is that time of year again, Saturday we made our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we went to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden AL instead of the Old Baker Farm. Two other families from church came with us and we had a GREAT time.

Ella was not satisified until she found the smallest pumpkin, Caleb of course wanted a BIG one!

Dan carried them all both Big and small

Hay Maze Fun

Rememer when

Remember when sleeping like this did not give you a permanent kink in your neck?

Happy Fall

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.

God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff -- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.

This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin. I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.

Happy Fall!

Another one

So ok today I started a blog for my parents to post their farm news, recipes and what they have available on the farm. Check it out and see some great pictures of their farm. I look forward to helping them with this.
