Pumpkin Patch!

Today we took the kids to the pumpkin patch-they had a blast! They each got to go on a pony ride (Ella rode one too Mom!) and picked out their own little pumpkins. They also bought a cookie from the bake sale. It was out in the country about 10 miles from our house, and it was a beautiful day.
I posted some pictures taken today at the pumpkin patch, scroll down to see them!

Hello from Colville!

I can't believe it has been over 2 months since I have updated this blog. Oops! It has been really busy lately though-so that's my excuse! :) We bought a house in Colville and really love it. It closed in about 3 weeks so it was a fast move! We are all moved in and are getting settled. The kids love their school they go to every day from 9-3, while I am working. Brent is settling into his job and likes it. We all really love Colville so far and think it will be a great place to raise a family.
Work has been really busy for me lately, for the last 2 weeks I have been driving over to Seattle on Monday afternoon and returning on Thursday nights. One of the girls in the office had a baby and I am helping out in the office.
The kids are keeping us busy, as always. Ella is into everything, and Sam is in the whiny stage. They both like having their own room and I think they will like the fact that we aren't moving again for a long time! In the last year, we have moved to 4 different houses! Ugh!
Today I am taking the kids to get a flu shot-so that should be interesting. Hopefully I can handle them by myself!
I have posted some new pictures below taken in the past month or so!
