Cousins' Closet...Congratulations!

I'd like to congratulate Becky Bunch and Sarah Thompson and they're families on their amazing consignment sale.  It turned out great and they've still got another day. They've been blessed, but I think it's even bigger than they imagined.  Good luck tomorrow ladies! They ended up having a news crew there at the sale today and Penelope ended up being on the news this evening.  She's our little celeb now.  Becky and Mike posted the clip on their blog "theBunchBunch" if you want to take have a look-see. Thanks Mike and Becky!

The Pumpkin Patch with Penelope


We went to our first pumpkin patch as a family Saturday.
We met up with our friends, the Bordens and the Parkers.
The sweet kids dressed up. Penelope was a frog and the other little girls were ladybugs.
It was a brisk day and all the kids missed their naps, but amazingly there were no tantrums (not children or adults).  Chili dogs, curly fries and apple cider slushies never tasted so good.  At times I look forward to Penelope walking and talking, then I see the other small children doing these activities (although very well behaved) and I think, I should really enjoy every minute of Penelope's immobility. 




The perfect moms picture; always something going on.
Courtney with Braelee, Penelope and I, and Kristen with Wren.

The frog was very tired and still put up with our antics.



The spoils. Good work Jeff.

Rolling Over From Back to Front!


Penelope rolled over from her back to her front for the first time last week.  This is some video from today of her showing off her multitasking of sucking her fingers and rolling over too.


Ode To Uncle Gabe!



Look at me, I'm just like my Uncle Gabe!
I suck on my middle fingers too and like my mommy, I suck my thumb.

Go Beavs! Go WYO! & Visits

Grandpa and Grammy for a Visit

Relaxin' with Grandpa Rick.

Gettin' loves from Grammy.

Having a wonderful time.



Shelby and Syd came for a visit 2 weekends ago. They went to church with us and then came over for lunch and some relaxing Sunday events.
Sydney wanted to hold here cousin Penelope...

then Sydney decided she didn't want to. 
(But look at how composed Sydney is staying, I think she's learned it from her cousin Max :)

She curled up next to Eric and played her Nintendo...aah how cute.



Go BEAVS!  Go WYO (Wyoming)!
We are starting Penelope early on her college football scene.
