Benaiah's first bites

Cute cowgirl

"Pwincess"

Sometimes she is a "Butterfly Pwincess" and other times a "Butterfly Dancing Pwincess".

Love is in the air...

...beautiful fresh fall air. We had a great time out at dinner, then out for ice cream and made sure to come back after the kids (at least the two older ones) were in bed!

Max has the sexy detective look going.

Gramma here means...

Date Night!!!!

Working hard

Max took a temporary break from hunting this long weekend to work on cleaning up the yard. The kids were ecstatic to have him around and to help him on yard work. Max's mom is here until tomorrow because Max has been gone a lot due to work and now hunting, which is a good break for him. Having Gramma Shell here is a great break for me!

Raking Leaves

Gloria and JB are raking leaves on a beautiful fall day. The changing trees are so pretty right now. JB was very motivated because we said that he could earn a quarter by helping rake and bag leaves.

Sporting a hand-made hand-me-down

There's no question that this is a hand-me-down from his older brother. A very cozy one. JB was born in Grand Forks, ND and when Gramma Shell was visiting ND, we went to Cabela's in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. We bought some big Cabela's sweatshirts that were on Clearance and Michele with her sewing talent made a sleeper/cold-weather suit for JB when he was baby-sized. It's 38 degrees here now and supposed to only get up to 51 degrees today, so this will keep Benaiah warm on our errands. Not exactly Grand Forks cold here, but after the warm fall weather we're used to, it kinda feels like it.
