I am super late on passing out these flyers so I decided to post one. I hope to see everyone there! Don't be shy- bring your friends and family members with you. The jeans Modbe has this season are really hot so come over and try 'em on!
This was so much fun! Thanks to Erin for feeding us dinner and arranging the outing. Three of our neighbor families and ourselves all went together. There was a corn maze, pumpkin picking, and farm animals. Lilly's favorite was the corn maze and feeding the pigs.
L to R: Jacee, Parker, Blaykeley, Kayla, Alivia, Lilly, and Jayden.
This past Sunday was Nate's 30th birthdaybut I still remember when I introduced myself to that hot 25 year old guy that had it 'going on'. Here are the top 25 reasons why I love him. I know some of these things may seem to be annoyances but I heard once that it's the things like the dirty clothes on the floor that you would miss the most if something ever happened to the one you love.
* Nate is our family's provider. Since Lilly was born, he has supported me in staying home to raise our family which is something I cannot imagine giving up and I will forever be grateful for.
*Ah Yes, Nate and his sarcasm... I'm sure I would miss this if I all the sudden didn't have it to drive me nuts. Truthfully, the sarcasm is good for me. I take things too seriously sometimes and Nate has this way of making me smile even when I don't want to.
* Have I mentioned that Nate is the sexiest man alive?! - Well he is and I wrote an explicit letter to People magazine when they wanted to put him on the cover.... I mean, c'mon! He is married!
* Nate can chug a water bottle in 2 seconds.... yeah, I know, loveable right? :)
* "Because he feeds me ice cream every chance he gets. He plays peek-a-boo with me and makes me laugh so hard my belly aches"- Megan
* Nate tells me I look beautiful every Sunday on our way to church. (He may say it in between too)
*Nate likes to travel. Since we have been married, we have traveled a lot and we have so much fun. Nate is really good at saving for our little jaunts and I'm good at planning how we will spend our time (and money Nate saved).
* Nate loves his family more than anything and wants what's best for them. He is always trying to talk them into doing or buying certain things because he thinks he knows best. The persuasion has been known to work from time to time like when we all ended up buying our camping trailers.* Nate has the best laugh. I think I think that because it really isn't easy to get him to laugh really hard but when he does, he has the greatest laugh and does this thing when he exhales - he probably doesn't even know he does it but I love it.
* Nate is a problem solver. He actually gets a little annoyed if there is something he can't fix. If I complain, he tells me what I should do to fix the problem. Sometimes I just want to complain- but he won't have any of that.
* F.Y.I. - Nate very rarely gets sick. He hates to go to the doctor. He actually didn't have a "doctor" until we went for our flu shots this month. When he does get sick, it's nasty and yet, there is nothing that will hold him back from doing what he wants.* Nate is happy. He NEVER wakes up grouchy in the morning. (That might have something to do with how sound he sleeps). He is generally, always in a good mood.
* Nate finds time for just me, not often enough in my opinion, but it is always fun and he has been known to splurge on me during those outings.
I love you Nate! Happy Birthday!
Exhibit A: A picture of the suspect (Lilly) and the crime scene a.k.a. behind the bed
Exhibit B: A picture of the weapon, a pair of blue kiddie scissors
Exhibit C: A picture of the victim, a lock of blonde hair.
For F.H.E. this week, we carved our jack o lanterns for Halloween. Lilly loved scooping the gooey guts and later, loved flicking them around... 
Lilly wanted one to be happy, and one to be scary... but he looks a little more sad than scary.
and so, this morning, Nate thumped his 4x7 deer and by the look on his face, he was happy about it. This deer was shot at a handful of times by different hunters before it stampeded straight for Nate and he got the 'perfect shot' in. (290 yards)
He was hunting with his business partner, Justin Jones, Hal Jones (Justin's dad), and Lyle (a friend of Hal)
.....still smiling....
When he got home, Lilly peeked over the truck bed to see it and was verbally disappointed that it wasn't bigger. And I quote, "..but, I wanted a really big huge one...." She wasn't scared either. She just wanted to get up in and touch it.... ew
Megan is growing like the hair on my husband's face (FAST!)- The entire family accompanied her to the doctor for her checkup today-- and as an added bonus, we ALL got our flu shots while we were there. : ]
Waiting for our shots.....
So Dr. Burton asked me if there were any concerns I had regarding Megan and I described our family's sleeping habits... or lack thereof.... Megan is still waking up between 2-4 times a night, and Lilly wakes up jusst to climb out of her bed and into our bed. We have a king and by the morning, Nate and I are down to just a couple inches on either side. So the doctor gave us a couple suggestions and we are hopeful that we will rid ourselves of sleepless nights and grumpy daily dispositions. (just to be safe, cross your fingers for us)We couldn't be more thankful for our healthy, happy girls.
I knew we would be late to preschool if I stopped to take her picture but I thought she looked so cute! Lilly came home from school excited to 'craf' as I promised we would this morning. As I was toll painting and she was painting mine and Nate's portraits (which turned out looking pretty good), I realized she was reciting the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE! Yep!-after only 6 days attending preschool, my 3 and a half year old knows the pledge of allegiance! What a smarty pants!
