Happy Halloween!

Brynn and Sadie were adorable cheerleaders for Halloween! The things teachers do for their students...Each year at Anson the kids and teachers dress up for Halloween and we have a parade through the school. I felt silly all day, but the kids loved seeing us dressed up. I also have two wonderful room-moms. They decorated my room and put together an amazing party. We had a great day, but I am exhausted!

Pumpkin patch for the second time!


Tonight Dave and I went to the pumpkin patch for the second time. We went with his family so Brynn and Sadie could pick out pumpkins.

Halloween Treats!

I saw the picture below in a Woman's Day magazine. I thought how cute, I want to make these. Well, I knew it would be hard, but I took on the challenge anyway. After HOURS of making a mess, I created only 3 skulls and 6 Frankensteins! Well, actually there was more, but Dave and Scott decided to decorate also. Those were eaten!
Looks pretty close to the magazine right?!

Pumpkin Patch

Monday night, Dave and I went to a pumpkin patch with two of our friends. I had fun picking out our pumpkins and taking pictures! Walter and Angelica are from Venezuela and this was their first trip to a pumpkin patch.

Weekend in Oregon

Dave and I recently spent a relaxing weekend in Oregon. Dave had to go for work and I flew up on Friday through Sunday. When I arrived we headed directly down the Columbia River Scenic Highway. This was just one of the many beautiful views of the Columbia River. We stopped at several waterfalls on our way to Multnomah Falls. Below is Latourell Falls.
Multnomah Falls...the second tallest year-round waterfall in the states.
We continued our drive to Mt. Hood (the second most climbed mountain in the world).
Saturday, we drove into Washington to see Mount St. Helens.
Back in the Portland area, we went to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. We saw the "Spruce Goose" (the largest airplace ever made).

We also saw the "Blackbird" (the fastest plane ever).
