Wisco trip

We drove my mom to Wisconsin and dropped her off there at the beginning of November. Just a quick trip, but we did manage to get doughnuts and kringle! yum. We didn't take the van, we took Andy's car. Poor Nana had to sit back there with those knuckleheads for 6 hours!






by the way, those are sleep number beds that they had in that hotel room. We HATED them! We were all sore and stiff for three days after sleeping on them.

Leaf control

This is a little old-fall is now gone and winter has moved in...

Our house is on a corner. And it has several large trees. It looks pretty, until the middle of October. That's when it gets chilly and thousands of leaves are covering your front yard and it is your JOB to clean them up! We all got our rakes out and got to work. (Five pound loss for both Andy and I after raking everything up!)

Good news is, we don't have sidewalks. For all you desert people that means less work when the snow comes. (We only have to shovel the driveway)

COSTUME CHANGE
(for Cooper)








Yup, we did Halloween Minnesota style this year! As usual Nana TOTALLY out did herself and made us some kick a$$ costumes! We loved trick or treating this year, even in the cold weather. What a great day and night for us. My mom and dad are here now, and we're having a blast. More posts soon!
ps. we missed you this year Skyler and Zane!

What a day this was!
We started this day by getting up at 4am (Minnesota time) On our way to the airport, this is what we were dealing with:
That's right, snow! We told the kids to hurry up so we could get outta here and get to Phoenix!

Once we arrived in Arizona, (1:00 pm Arizona time) this is what we were doing:

Doesn't that just seem amazing? Snow in the AM, swimming and sunshing in the afternoon. Gotta love it.
