Happy Anniversary!

Dale and I were married in the Washington DC Temple seventeen years ago this past Saturday. It was a gorgeous fall day! Our wedding reception was held one week later at the church building.
Saturday, November 3rd of this year was also a beautiful fall day! We went for a hike in the afternoon and out for dinner that evening. The owner of the company Dale works for gave Dale the company credit card and told Dale our anniversary dinner was on him! We each had the seafood platter at Bentley's at the Barn in Hanover. We had a delicious meal and an enjoyable evening together!

Meal time is so much fun!

There always seems to be reasons for picture taking around here! Tonight at supper the kids yelled, "Mom, get the camera!" and so I did!

It has been very difficult to get Kaden to eat vegetables lately. He is even turning his nose up at fruit! Today at lunch he ate one grape. The rest were squished between his fingers and smeared over his face. I was thrilled when Kaden actually ate several of his green beans tonight! I used Dr. Rapp's trick of dipping them in ketchup, and it worked!

Kaden and I had DiGiorno thin crust pepperoni pizza for lunch this afternoon. I couldn't resist taking some pictures!

Halloween 2007

This year Brady went trick-or-treating with his friend Aaron Anderson. He wasn't with us when we stopped in for treats at Aunt Bonnie and Nan Nan's house. Each year Aunt Bonnie tries to trick us before we get our treats. Last year she was the mysterious ghost sitting on the front step. We thought it was a statue until it moved and scared us half to death!

This year Aunt Bonnie had a coffin on the front step with a ghost hanging from the pine tree. Spooking stuff!

Thanks for the treats Aunt Bonnie and Nan Nan! We also got lots of good stuff from Nana and Pappy! Nana always has candy on hand. It's like Halloween at her house every day! Thanks Nana and Pappy!
