Fun Fall Pics

Dave made a pumpkin helmet for Sequoia to wear. She wasn't super excited about wearing it but put up with us. We had a good laugh over it.



We wanted to get some pictures of Sequoia out in the fall colors. We went down to Jerusalem Mill. It was pretty cold that day, but we braved it anyways. Above are a few of my favorite. Unfortunately pictures can't always show the true beauty of being there in person.



Sequoia was a Ladybug for Halloween, thanks to a hand me down costume from her cousin Liv

Pumpkin Carving Party

For the past two years Dave and I have been hosting a Pumpkin Carving Party. This year we had such a great time. Here are some pics from the party.








Visit from Mom and Dad


My parents visited this Fall. They were hoping to catch the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. They were able to catch the beginning stages. It was so good to see them. We went to Lancaster county together and took a ride out on Dave's parents boat. Dad and mom were able to take a couple of days and do some sight seeing. I loved having them here and wish we were
closer all the time.

Dave and I went to Chicago to visit Dave's sister, Amy. Amy and Jen really showed us a great time. We took a boat tour of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, went to Amy and Jen's restaurant, went to the top of the John Hancock building and tons more. Oh yeah, we also saw the Bean, a must see. It was such a good time. It will be fun to bring Sequoia next time.

Claire's Visit!




Claire Bear came to visit us. We had such a good time together doing what we do best, eating, playing cards and relaxing. Dave took us all out on a boat ride one evening. As you can see Sequoia did some of the driving. She is Dave's first mate. Aunt Claire also gave Sequoia a new hairdo during bath time.

Friends

One of the nights we were in San Diego, we had dinner at one of my favorite places, Claim Jumpers with the whole gang, minus kids. The girls also got together for a breakfast at Krissa's. This time with the kids. It was fun to see how they have all grown. It is hard to believe that two more will soon be added to the group.

Precious Time with Family







We of course spent time with family when we were in Cali, that is always the main reason we go. We had a great time together at the beach. It is so much fun to watch all the nephews play together. Sequoia and Liv didn't get too crazy, but I can imagine next summer they will be giving the boys a run for their money. We also went up to hisperia to spend an afternoon with the whole Schreiner clan. It had been way to long since I had seen everyone. It was so good to catch up with everyone.
