The much coveted marshmallow heart.

Getting ready for Christmas

Grammy sends gingerbread houses every year and the kids love decorating them and putting them up for display around the house.

It's been so fun having Morgan and Roy go to the same school this year. They did a fun Christmas program where they sing and sign the words to the songs.

A Visit With Grammy and Grampy

In November we were lucky to get a nice little visit with my parents. They came down for a few days and the kids loved every minute of it!

My dad was able to assist Roy some on the plane and they even took it for a spin (but just on the ground for now).

We enjoyed a nice nature walk in our backyard.

We really apprecite them taking vacation time to come see us. We don't see them near enough. Love you guys!

Thanksgiving

We had another small Thanksgiving in 2010. Just our little family and Roy's mom and dad. Roy tried a new turkey that I had heard about from my good friend Koosh. We used bacon to flavor the turkey and it was awesome!! And there's never anything better than the dressing we make. It was a nice laid back holiday. How thankful we are for our little family and all of our extended family members and friends! And can't forget good food to fill our bellies!

End of summer stuff

Towards the end of the summer we were making a lot of trips out to the airport to visit Roy as he worked on the airplane. He would ride this scooter out to the automatic gate to open it for us. I think he wishes we visited more so he could ride on it more.

He gave rides to the kids on his friend Eric's four-wheeler.

He has worked hard on this beauty. I will have to make a new post later with pictures of the almost finished product!!

The 3 kiddos

We came back from a week long vacation and our yard was overgrown with weeds. All that tilling to waste!! No grass this year. Maybe we'll get some in early next year.

One of our beautiful summer sunsets.

The end of summer brings school. This year Morgan and Roy get to go to preschool together. This is them on their first day. Mixed emotions for everyone!!

33!
