Fun Gifts

These were the flowers that Bill brought home for Hannah on her birthday. I think that she was tickled pink to get flowers from her daddy!


This is what we got Hannah for her Birthday. She is really in to arts and crafts stuff. One side is a chalk board, and the other is a dry erase board. There even is a roll of paper you can drape over a side to write on. She really likes it!

A Birthday Week!

Little Miss Hannah had quite the birthday week! She was able to have a little friend party, which was a ton of fun! On her birthday we got to go to the Olive Garden with a gift card that Bill had gotten from his birthday. Hannah was excited, cause they brought her out an ice cream sundae with a candle on it and sang to her! On the weekend my parents got to come down, and then we got to celebrate with family too!

I can't believe my baby girl is 5!

Hannah really wanted the tinker bell candle!


Blowing out the candles!

This was the cake I made for her friend party.
Hope you had a Happy Birthday Hannah!

One of the Best things I've Ever Received!

I just have to say that Aunt Bea Rocks! She goes to Hershey PA every year on business, and says that sometimes she smells chocolate in the air! How cool is that? But a sad thing happened this year. She found out that the Hershey factory is moving to Mexico! How crazy is that! How sad! Anyways....in past years she has brought me back some pretty cool stuff, like the world's largest Hershey's Kiss, and a big Hershey bar with my name written on it. I didn't think you could top those things! Although, I think the thing she brought me this year takes the cake by far! The World's Largest Hershey Bar! Check this thing out!


It's so huge! 5 luscious lbs of pure Hershey's chocolate!


There is 50 servings. If you do the the math.....there is 240 calories per serving. So, if I ate the whole thing by myself that would be a whopping 12,000 calories! I haven't opened it yet. I need to wait a bit, cause when I open it I know there is no going back! But don't worry, I won't eat it all myself! My two little girls wouldn't let me get away with that:)
Thanks Aunt Bea!

Snow!

Well, it snowed here for the first time this season! It is always beautiful and there is almost something refreshing about the first snow fall of the year! And makes me think of Christmas, my favorite Holiday! Funny how I'm always excited for the first snow fall, but I am always wondering when Christmas is over with, when all the snow will leave and when it will be spring!

A Yummy Tradition

The past few years we have made sure that some time in October we make and eat our own caramel apples. This year was no exception! It seems like there is nothing better than a home made caramel apple. You control the amount of fresh melted caramel that you put on a fresh apple! And lets just say that I put probably more than you should on each apple:) Our jaws get tired from chewing so much! Lillian and I shared one, and that was more than enough for the both of us! Hannah got her own for the first time, but didn't finish. She might of if she had more time! It's one of Bill's favorite treats, and it's a tradition I hope we keep doing!

Beautiful!!!!





This place is only a little over three miles from our home. The fall colors are just stunning this year! We went and took a little drive and stopped to take some pictures. It's just so beautiful to look at!

Bill's Surprise Party!


Well, I was able to pull it off! Last week I threw a surprise party for Bill, because he is turning the big 3-0! I planned this for a long time!!! And was really nervous before he arrived, but everything worked out, and he had no idea that he was coming to his party!

He said he had a great time, so all the hard work was worth it! I was so thankful for everyone who came, and everyone who helped out!


Maybe I should have put 30 candles on the cake, but instead I just bought these cool candles that had the number 30 on them!

I had people take a quiz about Bill. My mom actually scored 13 out of 20 when I asked her to test the quiz out. The highest scored at the party was 11.
Here are some of the things that Bill said are his favorite.
His favorite color, black.
His favorite meal of the day, breakfast.
His favorite football team, The Chicago Bears.
His favorite baseball team, The MN Twins.
His favorite super hero, Spiderman.
His favorite Bible Character, Timothy.
His favorite current T.V. series, Chuck!

I hope you had a Happy Birthday Bill!!!

Vroom!



Here are some action shots of my sister and Bill with Hannah and Lillian riding Swipers Sweeper. Both girls really enjoyed the ride! It may look like an innocent little ride, but it really swings you around those corners!

She did it!


Little Miss Lillian got to meet Dora the Explorer, and get her picture taken with her! On T.V. I think Dora looks a lot smaller:)
