Look at all those leaves!

Carson's job was to blow all the leaves off of the driveway onto the yard, so I could mow them up!


I think he did a pretty good job, but he had more fun putting the air on himself!

Clean yard!



The yard is all mowed....leaves cleaned up pretty well.....for about 10 minutes anyways!


Look all those leaves just waiting to fall on my clean yard!

For my friends......

New camping trailer...




Here is our new camping trailer we bought at the start of summer. We took one trip to Anchorage/Kenai. Here we camping at Willow Creek campground on the way home. The last picture is in our driveway of Derek and Jared heading out in Anchorage about 4 weeks ago. Jared is playing his competitive hockey in Anchorage this season. It is currently in storage in Anchorage. Derek and Jared stay in it on weekends when Derek can get down there. Otherwise Jared stays with another family who also has a son on the team.

Chicago in May!

I'm a little late on this post (OK really late!), but this is in Chicago this May on one of Jared's hockey trips. Here the boys and I are standing on the Navy Pier in downtown Chicago.
On the pier with the skyline behind them.
Way up high in the Sears Tower!
This is the boys in the Field Museum in downtown Chicago. They are standing by 'Sue' the world's largest, most complete and most famous T-Rex dinosaur.
Doesn't it look like they are really in Egypt?
(Field Museum).
