November, month of the Bridgette!

Bridgette was baptized November 30th. She was very excited and loved wearing her pretty white dress. It was a very special evening and we all felt the touched by the spirit. Rick baptized her and then confirmed her a member of the church.

Bridgette in her school program. She got a dancing part which she relished. She wore a boa around her waist unbeknown to us until they were up on stage. Is this girl ours?
She is a diva!!

Bridgette's 8th birthday party. She had a Fancy Nancy party and all the girls had a ball.

Our elementary school has pioneer days and everyone can dress up. Bridgette loved the bonnet and pinafore I made for her.

I thought a picture of something other than Bridgette for the month of November might be a good thing. A lovely tree in our neighbor's yard. Autumn colors were especially beautiful this year.

Halloween

Some of our very creative friends at the church Halloween party.

Rick was an Aussie yobo at the party and had fun with our biker friends.

Bridgette and Simon were the only children to dress up in the our home this year. Ammon has never liked Halloween and Ricky felt like 13 was a little too old to be trick or treating.

Rick and the kids carved up some very cool pumpkins.

Eckerts

Well this blog is going well! Here's hoping we will get with it eventually.

We went to Eckerts farm in Illinios near the end of October. We rode the ferry across the Missouri River and the kids loved that. We picked out a few pumpkins and had fun being out in the country.

These are just a few of the photographs that were taken. I had trouble loading more than three photos at a time, hence all the different posts in one day. One of you blog experts will have to clue me in on how to do this.

We had a wonderful time doing this "shoot" and it was done for almost nothing. We are blessed to know such kind people!

Fall photos

More Fall photos

This is a little hard to get used to doing but I am going to try and add more photos from the other day

Okay, so this is our blog! Since we have family and friends across the globe we thought this was the best way to keep everyone up to date with our life. We just had portraits taken by some friends from church who are photographers and thought this would be the excuse we needed to begin a blog. We hope you enjoy the photos. Ricky is 13 now, Ammon is 11, Bridgette is almost 8 and Simon is 3 months old.
