Kelsey(almost 3), Caden(4), Hailey(almost 3)
Riley(2) Thomas(7 1/2)and Levi(1).

SNOW !

 
It hardly ever snows in Centralia, and snow before Thanksgiving is pretty much unheard of. BUT, here we are Nov. 21st with a nice dust of snow on the ground! We love it! :)

Halloween

 
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I figured I'd better get some of the Halloween pic's up, because I know if I fall behind I'll never get caught up! We had a fun Halloween at Great Wolf Lodge (a hotel/indoor waterpark) with my parents, sisters and their families.

Zachary is FIVE!

 
Happy birthday Zac! My baby is boy is now five years old, how did this happen? Zac was blessed with three birthday parties, one of course being pirate themed, a visit from Auntie Em and cousin Riley, and of course lots of cake and presents. Zachary was NOT at all blessed when his little sister blew out his birthday candle, there were tears, and we almost had a pirate brawl on our hands. But the day was saved by relighting the candle and another round of "happy birthday".

Resemblance?

 
So, a family friend who has known me my whole life would remark every time that she saw Kelsey how very much Kelsey looked like me when I was little. I didn't think that much of it until I came across theses pictures of me taken the summer before my third birthday, and compared them to pictures of Kelsey taken this summer. You were right Shannon!
