Halloween '10




We ALL had fun trick-or treating this year! Even Jer admitted he had fun getting "dressed up" after I convinced him. Riley was a pumpkin, Devin was Spidergirl, I was a bee, and Jer was a skeleton.

August-October 2010

Since the last post we've had a couple big events. In August we had Devin's first grade open house. Devin, Riley, & I flew back to Iowa in September. We spent time with my family. Devin & I were in my cousin Kim's wedding in Wisconsin. We also spent some time with Jer's mom and dad. The only pictures I have from our trip back are of the wedding. My camera's battery ran out after that, and I had to use my mom's. I need to get some of the pictures of the kids with the grandparents from her. Riley turned 1 on October 21st. We just had a small party at home with the four of us, but we had fun! I'm also including some pictures from the beach, and some of our pumpkin carving skills! Halloween costume pics will be in another post.

August 2010



Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted, so I have plenty of pictures below! So much has happend...I'll just give a quick run-down. Devin finished kindergarten, had a summer full of swimming lessons, YMCA day camp, and summer school, lost her two front teeth, turned six, and has now started first grade. Riley is now 10 months old, has 5 teeth, is almost crawling, and starting to eat more solid food. I turned a year older. Jeremy is once again trying to get into the fire department, and passed his first written test with a 97%, and ranked 4th out of approximately 800 applicants! My sister, niece, and nephew came for a last minute visit in July. It was Ryan & Jessica's first time here, so we tried to show them as much as we had time for. Devin, Riley, and I are preparing for a trip back to Iowa, and Wisconsin for my cousins wedding, which Devin and I will be in. We're very excited to see the family!
