Pictures

So yesterday a friend of mine took some pictures of the kids and me. We went out to Cottage Grove lake and the leaves were absolutely gorgeous! It was a perfect day to go. And the fact that Danielle is an awesome photographer helped too! If anyone needs/wants pictures done, definitely call her or email her at jasmine3161@msn.com! I would choose her over the "professional" studios anyday! Here's a few she sent me this morning.

Lane County Fair

Here are a few pix from the fair. I kinda forgot to break out the camera more, so I didn't have a whole lot of variety. These will have to do for now! We're going to the WOE Fair though, so I'll try to get some more then.

Gabe was waiting patiently for the carousel to start.

Swing that hammer!

Smiley & Gina - this is the closest we got to the ice cream! We were good girls. :)

Picture on Register Guard website

Kassie & I had our picture taken on the carousel at the fair yesterday by someone from the Register Guard. I don't know if it's actually in the paper or not, cause we don't get it, but it's on their website. Kassie looks so cute! Gabe is to the right of the picture sitting on the bench in front of us, but he's just a blur cause we were moving pretty fast. Click on the link and check out picture #11.

Kassie's 4th Birthday!!!

Well, my baby girl is finally 4! I can't believe it! She thinks because she is 4 that she can do pretty much whatever she wants. Well, think again!!! Here is her new bike and helmet we got her for her birthday, and the knee and elbow pads and gloves Gabe got her (he even picked them out himself). She is so excited cause it's a "big girl bike". Amazingly enough, she's really good at riding it! She's even better at braking though, which I guess is a good thing. :)

Kids update...

Well, since all I've been posting lately has been about the house, I thought I'd also throw in some pictures of our cute little munchkins. They just got back from their Grammy Sue and Grandpa John's house where they were for 2 nights (giving me the time to finally get something accomplished here! And get some of my sanity back for a little while at least). :) Anyway, last Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt in Creswell, then Sunday we all went to the church breakfast and service, then had a quiet afternoon at home, just the four of us. Kassie was a little tuckered out, as you can tell below.

Halloween

Finally! More than 2 weeks after Halloween, I have a picture of the kids. My batteries died just as I was going to take the picture, so I had to borrow a friend's camera. They emailed the picture a couple days ago, but I didn't have my computer hooked up right away because of moving. So here it is, a little late. Gabe was ninja boy, and Kassie was a little fairy princess. They had a great time. We went out for a quick bite to eat with our friends first, then back to their house to make caramel apples and onward ho for trick-or-treating. It was a fun night and the kids can't wait until next year!

House

Well, the house is coming right along! I drove by today and they are FINALLY getting the garage roof done! I was so excited and relieved at the same time! This process has been drug out for so long, I'm glad it's finally getting done! And better yet, we're signing papers today! Yay! We will actually get the keys either Tuesday or Wednesday! Can you believe it? The Glenn's are going to be official homeowners of a real house, not just a manufactured home or a renter! I can't believe it! But, now the hard work will begin. We have a lot to do to get it livable, so if you don't hear from us, that's what we're doing - fixing up the house. We're going to be painting the whole inside next week, so that'll keep us busy. I'll have to give updates as we go and post pictures!

Speaking of pictures, I don't have Halloween pix yet of the kids in their costumes! My batteries died in my camera when we were over at our friends house, so we used their camera. And they haven't emailed the picture yet, so when I get it, I'll post it. But for now, here's Kassie getting her hair cut. This is the first time she sat by herself and didn't get upset about it. We haven't done many haircuts with her, just because she has been so shy for so long. But Karen is the one cutting her hair, and we know her, so I think that's why Kassie did better. So I had to run home and get the camera (with charged batteries) :) and take some pix. So here she is!

Now, I need to get back to packing! Yikes!

Kassie

And then there's Kassie. Our little angelic 3 year old. Yeah right! She may appear to be cute, but she's getting that treacherous 3's attitude! She's paying her big brother back for all the times he's been mean to her and she's got the big attitude. But we can't help but laugh at some of the things that she says.

She's about to start pre-school too! Mom has mixed feelings. :) I'm sad that my little baby is going to school, but at the same time I'm thinking along the lines of 2 1/2 hours a day, 2 days a week I'm gonna have free time! Woo hoo! ;) Well, it sounds good anyway. But yes, Kassie is quite excited to be starting school and having Mrs. L for her teacher. She talks about her all the time and can't wait to go. She's got her little pink backpack and all. So we'll see how the shy little munchkin does when the day comes that she actually has to part from mommy!
