Why do we live in Michigan?

October and November

Here are a couple of pics from some of our fun times here in San Diego....

Carving pumpkins for Halloween.... We were preparing for a big block party and needed decorations.

Joshua Tree...Kim and I went with our friend, Greg. We went rock climbing, camping, and hiking in the desert.

Thanksgiving... We had a wonderful meal and a house full of twenty people. We ended the evening with a Thanksgiving bonfire.

Here are the boys after a day of combining

Fall Fun

Thought I would post some pictures of the fun things we've done this Fall.

Nolan and Jack at the apple orchard.

Caleb on the tractor at the apple orchard.

Pumpkin carving fun!

The lion and tiger at the Zoo Boo!

The boys trick or treating with Ella and Lauren!

Hey all! I thought I would finally try this out! Here is a pic of Jack and his new hair cut. I thought the spiked look would be fabulous!

One more hiking pic.... we were right above the cloud line for this one. We climbed some boulders and once we got to the top, this was our view. It was spectacular!!

Here we are, dancing in the streets at a street music festival. There are outdoor festivals and concerts almost every weekend.

Hello, my lovely fam. (: I am loving that we are now using this blog!! Char, I love the pics of Nolan and Caleb. I miss you all so much!!!! Here are a couple of more pics from my life here in Cali..

Kim, two of her roommates, and I went and played in the mountains last weekend. We camped in a boulder field and then hiked about 10 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail....absolutely breathtaking.... I can't wait to go again-very soon. I still can't believe that all of this natural beauty is, quite literally, in my back yard here!
