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.
