catching up on fall

Well it has been months since I have posted something new. We have been having a very busy fall and it seems that Christmas is just around the corner so I thought I better get caught up on the blog.

Early in October we had a major snow storm and the boys had a blast building forts and having snowball fights.

Dylan was in the NFL punt, pass & kick competition. He placed first in his school and went on to regionals in Lewistown. He did really well, especially since it was only 19 degrees and windy. I was froze so I can't imagine how he must have been feeling out there!

The annual NILE stickhorse rodeo is an event the boys look forward to all year. They have the cutest rodeo all done on a stickhorse. This was Colton's last year to enter and Logan's first. Logan competed in the bronc riding and Colton was in the bull riding. They both won their events and had a nice trophy to show for it.

Halloween.......love this time of year! Carving our pumpkins was fun as always. Dylan made a horse, Colton did a flaming jack-o-lantern, Logan didn't want to carve and instead decorated his as a fish. I made the wicked witch of the west and Brian made howling wolves. Trick or treating time....Dylan was a hunter, Colton a skeleton and Logan was Buffalo Bill Cody.

The adults had fun dressing up this year as well. We went out with Holly, Travis, Jeremy & Darlene and their friend Erin. We all dressed as cartoon characters.

Logan celebrated his 3rd birthday on Nov. 5th. Dylan and Colton made him breakfast in bed before they left for school. He then got to spend the morning with dad in the tractor which is just about his favorite place to be. We picked Dylan and Colton from school and had a picnic lunch. Then had his choice of dinner that night. Great day for Logan! On Friday, we had a party with an Elmo theme. He had a wonderful time. I can't believe he is so old already! I took his 3 year portraits the week of his birthday and he poses so perfect!

On Saturday we moved cows and it was just such a beautiful day we took a couple of pics while riding.

Monday was my birthday and I also got spoiled with breakfast in bed. The boys gave me wonderful birdhouses that they had each made. That evening Brian made great enchilladas for us and my parents, and holly and travis came over as well. We watched the Broncos game and had a nice quiet evening
