Madelyn and Lily are only six days apart. It is amazing how much taller Lily is. Amity has always had the shorter kids. The tables have definitely turned. It was so much fun to see these cute babies with each other.
We had to pick our garden last week before the freeze came. I am really not ready for the cold winter months! Aubree loves the pumpkins and made my job twice as hard hauling them to the house.

Amity, Shay, and all of the cousins came to visit us last week. We had a crazy fun time. The kids painted pumpkins, made treats, made messes, and had a great time.

Best Birthday Surprise
I just have to tell you what an amazing husband I have. Brad has been working fourteen hour days lately. He gets up and leaves at two in the morning and returns at four in the afternoon. He is currently managing a drilling project. I knew that he would not be able to get off for my birthday, which is what I really wanted. The morning of my birthday when I got up to take care of the kids, I woke up to a clean house and the curtain rod in the front room was hung up. (Something I have wanted forever now) It made me smile. I was playing with the kids when someone came into the house. It was Brad! He came home to spend the day with us. I don’t know how he did it, but I was grateful. He made us crapes with strawberries and peaches for breakfast. Yummy, my favorite. He arranged for a babysitter that day so we could spend some time together. After we went out to lunch, we went and played golf. Neither of us are very good, but we had a great time playing around and spending time together. We went out for ice cream cones and then ate dinner at the chili cook off at the fire station. I loved being able to spend time with him. That was the best birthday present of all. Oh, and we won’t forget the chocolate covered strawberries. You are the best Brad!
Great Great Grandparents

Great Grandpa and Grandma Coy came to visit us last weekend. The girls had such a great time. Every morning Olivia would wake up early, 6:00 am, and wait for the generator to turn on in the motor home so she could go and visit. She would take her packet of hot cocoa and grandpa would make it for her. He would drink his coffee and she would drink her cocoa while they had their morning visit. She loved this. They also had fun dressing up with grandma and getting to know their great grandparents a little better. Now, if she would only stop waking up so early!
