Halloween

It has been a busy month! We did open our second store on October 20th! Amazing times! We were able to take the kids trick and treating a little - or too much from a mom's standpoint! Jaci dressed as a Poodle skirt dancer and Zach was Robin - Batman's side kick! Here they were heading to a harvest dance at school. They had a blast!

October!

It has been a while! I will briefly go through the happenings for the last month and a half! One Saturday I was working and when I came home, Pat and the kids had made me a cake for my birthday. Not knowing if we would be able to on my birthday, they wanted to celebrate! It was delicious and tasted better as a surprise!

Cousin Time!

In September, we were able to head back a see family and friends one more time before the snow flies!! HA! I wanted to get some photos of the trees turning with the kids, but the wind took over and ruled against me! Here were just a few shots at my parents farm of the kids climbing the tire swing and hanging with Grandma.

Visitors

On Monday, my friend from college came back to visit. Andrea and her guy, Curtis, stayed for a couple days to catch up and visit old friends from her hometown (Jamestown). They are from Seattle and we were able to see them last year when we were out for training. They had us to their hotel so that the kids would be able to swim since the weather was a little chilly for a boat ride on the river! The kids always enjoy hanging out with their buddies!

First Day of School!

Jaci and Zach started school on Monday. Jaci is in the 2nd grade and Zach is in Kindergarten. They are both so excited and love the school.

Potato Days 2007!

On Friday, we headed back to Barnesville to take in some of the city wide events of Potato Days. It is good to see old friends and some family while the kids have a blast. Here are Zach and my nephew Connor with their Potatoes from the potato scramble!


The farm girl in me comes out! Here is a beautiful Corn field in front of the sunset.

Here are Jaci and Zach along a bridge with the sunset.

At Grandma and Grandpa's Farm, my uncle Randy brought the kids fishin' in the creek. Jaci was proud of her bullheads!

8 Hot Chicks - Canada or Busts! (16)

On Wednesday August 8th, a bunch of us (original) Fergus Falls Hotties headed North for the 2nd annual Mommies on the lam weekend. Robin invited us to her Canadian hideaway and we jumped on the opportunity! Two vehicles, 6 hours, one border crossing, two (should have been 3) boat rides and we were there!


Robin took us on a hike through part of the White Shell Provencial Park. Here is Becky, Amy, Robin, Tina, Terri and Kris. Jean and I were the historians and not in the photo!


We were on West Hawk Lake which is part of the White Shell Provencial Park. The only way to the cabin is by boat. Very remote and beautiful!


It was a tough time away from our families....we did a tremendous amount of work (on our tans) and were educated quite a bit from the books we went through (not stating which subjects). I already have my reservation in for the 3rd annual trip!
