Cook out!

The kids both had a friend sleep over on friday night. We had a cookout in our backyard with hotdogs and marshmellows. Zach LOVED the fire. It's a good thing that I could restrain him in his high chair. I think our poor dog ate just as many marshmellows as the kids, thanks to Zach. It is nice that the weather has changed so we can enjoy the backyard, I love the 70 degree weather!

Family pictures

When we were in Utah we had Family pictures done by my cousin Jeni. They turned out so cute. Thanks Jeni. I love the fall leaves in the back ground.
Zach was a busy body during the pictures and definatley gave Jeni a run for her money.

Look at those brown eyes!

What a stinker!

Wearing Daddy's hat for his birthday book.

(Each year I take a picture of the kids with the same item so you can see them grow into the item. Sam has her picture with my wedding vail, Connor with daddy's cowboy boots, and Zach with Daddy's basebal hat. The picture goes into a special book that is displayed the week of their birthday.)

Toothless smile!

Connor and his buddy Nathan

We had a great Halloween. Samantha was a Pirate and the two boys were Vampires. Halloween night we had Grandpa and Grandma MacDonald over for dinner and then went trick-o-treating. Our neighborhood was FULL of little kids. It was SO fun. I bought tonz of candy and we ended up running out. I think we had close to 500 kids come to our door. WOW

Photo shoot

Okay to see a preview of the photo shoot I had done with my kids, check out Jeni's incredible photography. I have a link under family and friends. She posted pictures of my kids. They are SO cute. Thanks Jeni.
