Marc & Mel's wedding weekend

FRriday Day 1
It all started here at Victoria Hall in maryland just a few minutes from their house.
|They had the rehersal dinner here.
It was perfect! quaint, cozy, appropiraite! Perfect!
The family gathered here at around 1 pm and got to work setting things up for people to arrive at 6

This was the final result! Dinner was served.
Delicisous pulled pork that slow cooked while we decorated and prepped.
There was Ceasar, taco,potatoe and quinou salads
Looking at it again makes me hungry. It was so good!
Weston trying to give a peace sign!

 Arnell relaxing after getting the final touches ready for people to arrive from the rehersal! Good thing she was there.
Hungry Boys!!!!!!!!!!

1st day of preschool! field trip to the apple orchards

Pretty pumped for preschool for the boys this year. its a co operative preschool wednesday morning at the nazerene church up behind us.
Iam extra excite that Trina dna Melanie both my good friends will be bringning their boys also. both of which are friends to my boys!
should be a great year!


Trina and Gage heading for the apples or the toilet hahah

Nathaniel and Weston figuring out how they can climb this tree! that is westons new thing. tree climbing.
 all of the parents were trying to get a group picture of all the kids. hahah good one as if that actually happened. so i just zoomed in on my kids. hanging in the pumpkins!
 And not 2 sec into apple picking I look around and Nelson isthe tre already chowing down. So try explaining to a hungry 2 yr old that they cant eat them before we pay for them. Yea right. at least he was picking them of the ground and not the trees. The poor guy spent most of the trip on the ground because all the apples he kept falling! but he would get right back up and take a few more steps and down he'd go again!over and over again. he wasa a tired guy pretty quickly
melanie and weston
Mama and her boys. hard to see but lenon is in a carrier on the front of me!

Philip Powers 50th Bday


We were invited to celebrate Philips 50th bday
So we hopped in the Kabota and across the river we went.
We had a great time.
We really enjoy spending time with all the Powers family.
They are so great and they do such fun things from making their own ice rink and playing hockey in the winter to , balloon lanchers, rocket contests etc. they are very family oriented and from what I can see have raised some really awesome children, who are now raising their own children.Pretty good model to follow


 Philips daughter is a school teache3r and she brought this to do as a exeriment. if you put cornstarch with water it creates a goop. but if you pick it up and handle it quickly and constantly it will stay on a solid form but as soon as you stop working it it turns back to goop. so the kids had a blast trying it.
 And then they showed that you if moving quickly and constnatly could run on it without sinking but as soon as you stopped you would sink. so weston had to try it! too Cool
And then came the rocket contest. The family is into making rockets and launching them. So the boys watched as they prepared.

 And of course because there was a fairly loud unknown noise , nelson walked around with his hands to his ears
 Daddy and Weston watching the festivities

And then out came the balloon launcher. A huge HIT
Westons turn
 Due to Nelsons tired state and dislike for noise and anything new , he found comfort in the house watching from the window with Nanny!

 He wouldnt stop putting them in his mouth an d then he got upset when they exploded all over him hahaha hence the no shirt pictures
 Cute boy!!!!!
And of course the Kabota was a big hit with the kids.so we gave rides!
What a great day!

You know its Fall when....

A perfect Fall day so we got to work and started making


Millionaires Relish

                                            Patrick helped at the end to do the dishes hahah
                                     oh and dont forget the amazing Salsa. our favorite!!!!!
