::october 2019::


We had our first litter of the fattest little Holland Lop babies.  Two little sweet hearts.  


I felt like I needed to carry them around in a fanny pack to socialize them.  


Lily had a karaoke fund raiser for choir.  


Quinn loved signing too.  


My dad got to go see my favorite author speak and he got me a signed copy.  


Lily had her first choir show of the year.  




Josh made me a chicken coop - that at the end of the month got blown about a mile away.  


We had lots of fun eating treats at the apple orchard. 








Josh looking all manly.  


Gus had his best day every day.  


I had lots of fun making my birthday cake.  I have no idea why I had to make it huge.  




The back porch was finished and we loved it. 


We took the girls for their 16th and 21st birthday to Disney. 


We stayed one night in the Poly bungalow.  
















We had some time at the creek catching tiny fish.  









Lily had a trampoline sleep over with her friends.  


Quinn and I stole Lily's car  for a joy ride.  


The boys made the worlds greatest box fort. 


I won the Nursing Excellence award this year.  Of course I talked too much and had tons of fun.  









Cross Fit continues to be very rewarding.




Lily dressed up as a female Beetle Juice.  


Max was Sherlock Holmes and Quinn was some unidentifiable scary thing.

::september 2019::

This little man loves sports.  I have enjoyed watching him fall in love with playing football. 

He was in the homecoming parade and we turned up in all our Pendleton gear.  

Those two giant second grader were the best blockers in the league.  

Max was showing his Pendleton pride.  

Baby Otter watched.



Look at all that crazy candy they got at the parade.  



Lily and little Poppy remain best friends.  

Lily had a little barn karaoke party with all her  choir buddies.  

She turned 16 with her cutest little face.  

She looked gorgeous for homecoming.  




She and her best friends all looked gorgeous.  




The two single girls posed with Paige's sweet boyfriend.  


Josh and I remain devoted to Cross Fit.  We go at least 4 times a week.  I am not exactly ready to be an elite athlete but I am working hard.  



We organized all the girl in the family going to Cake Bake, which is a fancy cake shop in Indiana.  






I had a party for my grad school friends and Lily had some concerns about the cupcakes my friend brought.  

I have been a wondering soul, going to lots of different sites.   I was pretty happy to find this sunny little office.  


I won the Nursing Excellence Award for Community.  I was so surprised and blow away by the honor.  

They had Josh on Face Time and this is me smiling at him.  





Mr Max is turning into a grown man.  Look at that big stud.  


I picked Lily up and we rented some Pendleton bikes to go exploring on.  

Max was in the band for about four weeks.  It was a short term love story.  

Lily has been mastering the art of taking pics with a distant gaze.  


We had a little warm day and I took the kids creeking.  





We got ready for our girls plus Josh Disney trip.  



Lily and I worked at Lucas Oil for her to earn money for choir.  

She has been working there periodically to pay for her own choir trip.

This is her driving home.
