October

Eating some popcorn and watching Tom and Jerry with Joey

Walking in the woods at Grandpa Glen's shack, where's Joey?

Derek was showing Joey how to use the sling shot.

Leo came over the other day..Super heros playing Leapster!

We carved a pumpkin very early. Joey was super excited to get a pumpkin. I think the squirrels love us, because they've eaten most of our pumpkins that are on outside!

At open skating with the Johnson boys.

Derek and I stayed in Duluth a few weekends ago. I signed up to run the Whistle Stop Half Marathon. So we left Duluth at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, drove to Ashland, I ran, we had lunch with two of Derek's friends, and then came back to enjoy not having to tend to kids. Thanks to Grandma B and Grandpa Paul for watching the kids. I think they were tired.. they said our kids "are active."

Donny, Me, Jodie, and Ben, half marathon finishers!

So glad to have bumped in to Jodie Cope. We ran the race together..it was very fun!

Big girl haircut!

Audrey's first hair cut!

This little monkey is now in a big girl bed, due to climbing out of her crib at home and pack and play at day care... so far it has been rough at night!

Joey's graduation from his first session of gymnastics with teacher Gwyn.

Wood Weekend in Bagley MN

Audrey eating with Grandpa Glen. This weekend we went to Derek's Aunt and Uncle's house. They have a farm west of Bemidji. First stop, Paul and Babe.

Joey was so excited to get to Uncle Kenny's he did not want to stop and use the bathroom.

Cousins, Ashley, Drew, Aaron, Hailey, Sam, Joey and Audrey.

Sam is 5 and Joey is 4, they had a great time, but I think there was some competition for Hailey's attention. Much fun was had on the gator, 4-wheeler and playing in the leaves outside.

The whole gang. What a beautiful weekend!

Joey has been waiting to see Tom cat since last years wood weekend. Now Audrey has fallen in love with him too!

We even got to go on a hay ride!

Auntie "Snefenie" and Uncle Darren.
