the kiddos

just some pics of the kids over the weekend

A Little R & R

We were blessed to be abel to use a cabin up in Happy Jack AZ for a few days. We left Thursday afternoon and stayed until early Sunday morning. It was wonderful, the cabin was big and open, it was quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The stars were amazing, it was clear and cold, all in all a wonderful get-away.

Ahh a tiger!

Isaac's school had a carnival and he got his face painted. They did a really great job.

Harvest Festival

Last week was the harvest party at the church, the kids had a blast, here are some pictures of the little buckaroos.

Orangutans

We went to the zoo the other day and had a great time. Every time we go we like to see the orangutans, there is a whole family of them, dad, mom, baby and grandma. The baby is so cute, this last visit we were able to see the baby nursing! Then the mom climbed up the rope with the baby still attached makes me glad I'm that me children nurse nicely (most of the time:)

He stands!

Tobin is getting more mobile by the day, it is not uncommon to find him in the kitchen, after I have sat him in the living room! He is still just army crawling, but he can get to where he wants to! He is now pulling up on the furniture!, He is very pleased with himself! Here are some recent pictures.

Train Park

There is a wonderful train park near us, we went recently to their fair ans saw many wonderful model trains set up on display. It reminded me of all the years Dad would bring down his train and set it up at Christmas time. with the holidays fast approaching, I find that I am greatly missing family in WI and friends in NC. We are making new friends here and new memories, but nothing compares to family and good friends.
