Its been so crazy around here lately always something needing to be done or someone needing attention and the list of things to do goes on!! We have been adjusting to life with a first grader the homework alone is madness and then the pressure to get her ready for her tests! I was so wrong when I thought that I had finished school..... um no I was just on a long break!! I also volunteered to be Ashlyns room mom and let me just tell you that this year will be my last!!! Collin is growing up and becoming more mischievous and a true boys boy. I can finally say that the dude is finally allowing me to breath without him being right on top of me! He is becoming such a daddy's boy and no this does not hurt my feelings at all!

Even though life gets crazy we manage to always take some time and create fun family memories.! Here are some pictures of the things we have been up to. We had Chris's Sheriffs picnic for his work that was fun for the kids and dad got to show the kids what being a part of the sheriffs department is all about! We are very proud of Chris he works so hard and is so good at his job and is going to go far in his career! We also took the first desert camping trip of the season, we had so much fun and the countdown is on for the next trip with all of our favorite peeps; and last but not least a few pics from the pumpkin patch. More Halloween pictures to come... Ashlyn has her fall festival on Friday and then trick or treating I will post pictures of what they are for Halloween soon. Love to all and we sure do miss everyone.
