Happy Birthday to our Son!


Our sweet boy turned 11 years old today. I remember when he was just a baby with his chubby little legs and cheeks. Then a kindergartener learning to tie his shoes. Now he is an avid reader, hockey player, trumpet player and straight A student. Where has the time gone? One thing hasn't changed...he is sweet, thoughtful, loving and kind. We're so very proud of him.
Happy Birthday Hunter!
We Love YOU!
Blessings,
Mom and Dad

Thursday night was pumpkin carving night at our house. DS is growing up so fast! He designed and carved his own pumpkin this year. DD chose the shapes for her jack-0-lantern and I cut them out for her. DH used a template to create the BOO! pumpkin.
Hope your Halloween was Spooktacular!

I made these brownies for family and friends this week. The recipe was from Betty Crocker. I used a different brand of brownie mix, but they were still delicious and well received. I think they would be great for Valentine's Day, using red food coloring instead of orange.

Blessings,

Lisa

We had a nice Halloween. DD and I made a dinner of Mummy Face Pizzas and Ghoulish (Chicken) Fingers with Blood (ketchup) for dipping. After dinner, we went Trick-or-Treating for about an hour. Then, we came home and passed out treats to our treaters. The kids had a great day!

Blessings,

Lisa
