Fall Colors

So yesterday while driving to take Connor to the doctor I took the kids for a short drive to witness the beautiful colors of God's creation. We've been indoors for over a week and wanted to capture the Fall colors before it was too late. It was a beautiful day yesterday with lots of sun breaks so the colors were absolutely amazing. Enjoy!

Connor cracks me up...he's afraid of getting his hands dirty so he tries to clean off the pumpkin before picking it up. He takes it to Dad for help but doesn't want to touch it...too funny!

Connor's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Connor's 3rd birthday this weekend. He kept asking for his birthday cake and at first did not want me singing Happy Birthday...but after dinner Saturday night we surprised him with balloons, gifts and cake...he was excited, didn't cry when we sang to him AND blew out the candle...whoohooo Connor.

JBU Reunion

It was Matthew's 10 year reunion at John Brown University. I finally got to visit where he went to school...such an awesome experience for him and for me to meet some of his professors and his dear friend, Paul Smith, as well as some of his college friends that live in the area or drove in for the reunion. Now I can understand why Matthew was always so proud of his experience at JBU. I even had the chance to see him sing in the Cathedral Choir - which was such an amazing part of his life...they were AMAZING! I totally loved it and to hear the story of how JBU came to be was such an inspirational story. I am so glad I had the chance to go and Matthew was so excited to show me around. How blessed he was to attend such a neat school.
