...Everything as loss...FOR GREAT GAIN

So here's our fun adventure to the pumpkin patch with cousin Avery and Auntie Rachel and Uncle Brian. Fun family tradition just gets more fun every year. This is me showing off my handsome and slim husband who has lost 52 lbs!! He is so stinkin hot...always has been but I just want to say it again and show off his accomplishment. Here's precious Avery...so cute and very unsure of what to do!

Me at 18 weeks...and growing

So fun...but hard to see the change from her crazy curls! She does have shorter bangs and about an inch off the back...she did great. It was super fun because it was a family hair cut day...except for me. But that's ok... The final product...ha hillarious girl!

So I'm finally posting pictures from Rachel's birthday party...on September 12th. Sorry! It was a wonderful day and weekend. My parents came over from Grand Junction and my mom was a huge help with food and helping me with the cake. So fun! Here's Rachel early that morning when daddy took her to see her biggest gift...a new play kitchen that I got used and spiffed it up with paint and new stove top...so fun! And here's breakfast time...she has no idea that his whole day was about her! She's so used to Malachi trying to take the attention away...it was great to watch her with everyone there for her. And her special outfit for the day with minnie mouse, fake plastic dress shoes, a ring and her new minnie watch....so fun. She loves dress up. So here's the beginning of the spread of food and the cake. It turned out allright. I am a bit of a perfectionist so I see too many things I wanted to look different, but my mom was a huge help on dying the fondant and helping ...

Yes little Malachi's in preschool! Here's his first official day at school. He really loves his class and his teacher, Mrs. Elliott. He also has two sweet little girls that he says he plays with every day, Kenna and Brooklyn...but I think they pick on him and he ends up playing by himself or being a bit obnoxious and taking toys away from other kids. Hopefully he'll learn soon to not do that! This is before class him, Kenna, Brooklynn and another sweet girl I haven't learned her name yet.

Yep...it's freezing time...and my garden...well what's left is going away for this season so I decided I better post some photos of it's amazing growth this year! Here's the beginning... also had some lettuce but in June and July the hail we had destroyed it...so Malachi planted corn! And here's a small harvest of carrots...still have a ton frozen. And now you can see my gigantic three tomato plants!!! Yep they towered over the fence the day I took them down! We also had strawberry plants but we'll get more next year. Under the tomato's was hidding a sad cucumber plant...Malachi stepped on when I planted it so it became his cucumber...and you'll see what we got from it..ha! Here are hot cherry peppers and Poblano's And here's my pride heirloom tomato's that are eventually two toned and delicious. Here's the lowly cucumber that we got from our sad plant. Still tasted great! Here's our first bit of raspberries...yes we ate ...
