Miscellaneous of Grace

Here are a couple of pictures of Grace that I took in the last couple of days. The first and second picture are of her sporting her new Michigan State Cheerleading Outfit that we found for $5.00! The third picture is of her sporting her new Lowe's apron and goggles from their works shops that they have every other Saturday. This past weekend they built a football goal post... not so exciting but the next time they are suppose to be building Gingerbread houses! Very cool looking can't wait!!!

Silver Bells

This is our first year of going to Silver Bells. If you don't know what it is it is a parade then the lighting of the official state capital tree. Then after the lighting of the tree there is fireworks over the capital. We had a lot of fun! Trent's parents came along with us. But it was SOOOOO COLD!!!! The parade was really long but it was cool to see all the different trucks decorated with Christmas light. Even Trent's work had two trucks in the parade! Depending on the weather we may do it next year. There are a lot of other activities going on also but since it was so cold we left after the fireworks so that we could thaw out!! Attached are a couple pictures.

Mommy's French Braid

I decided one day to french braid Grace's hair and I had to take a picture of it. I haven't been able to get it too look that good again for some reason. I haven't french braided anyone's hair probably since my neice Emily was little! Now she is 12!!!Enjoy!!!

Cranberry Muffins!

If any of you know me I am not a baker... I use to like to bake but I haven't done a whole lot in the 8 years that I have been married. I found this easy recipe (I am all about easy) on making Cranberry Muffins. So I decided to run to Aldi's to get the rest of my ingredients that I didn't already have on hand. I decided this would be a good project for me and the kids to do. I think the kids enjoyed it. I will let you know what my husband thinks about the muffins after dinner is over. I would tell you myself but I don't like muffins!!! Here are some pictures of our event!
I'm not really sure why some of the pictures didn't turn out dark... I think it might be because I had the blinds open so it was messing up the flash turning it off.

Flashback Friday on Tuesday

This is my little girl over 2 and 1/2 years ago. I can't believe how fast they grow! She is my little independant, can do anything girl! As you see from my last flashback we had problems with Jonathan, we had a few scares with her as well but it was nothing!!! Look how tiny Jonathan is also... wow it's amazing how fast and how much they grow. I don't know if you can tell in the last picture but with Grace I had the largest room on the floor! It was huge... it was probably as big as my first house... ok not quite but close!!!!

Trunk or Treat at Grandpa Bedell's church

Finally on Friday we went to Linden for Trunk or Treat at Grandpa Bedell's church. We had a lot of fun. The kids got to play in the bounce house, go on a hayride and get lots of candy!!! Then after that Jonathan spent the night at his Best Friend Ian's house. They had a lot of fun! We had a great weekend spending time with family and friends.

Preschool Halloween Party

At school on Friday (Halloween) Jonathan had a party. They got to wear their costumes to school. They then marched around to all the classrooms and showed off their costumes to all of the other students. Grace and I got to come and spend the day with Jonathan. I have attached a few pictures of the many that were taken. The first picture is of Jonathan almost winning musical chairs.

Pumpkin Carving

This year we did pumpkin carving a little late. We carved pumpkins the day before Halloween. Here are a few pictures of us carving pumpkins. Enjoy!!!!
