Veteran's Day photo shoot

We had another beautiful (but cold) sunny day on Veteran's Day...so, we decided to head over to dad's field and barn for a little family photo shoot. The pictures didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but they are still pretty good. Rune (Gary and Debbie's dog) has been staying with us while they are in Wyoming, so she got her picture taken also.

Grayson and I took advantage of a beautiful sunny day a couple weeks ago and took a walk to the park. He has been really loving the swing and wants to be pushed all day long..."higher Mama, higher!"

Happy Fall!

Halloween: Rockstar Style

Grayson decided this year that he wanted to be a "rocking-out-guy" for Halloween. I was pretty surprised that he wore the wig as much as he did. He dressed up for school also and everyone loved his costume. Heath and I decided to go with Wayne's World. I thought it would be an easy costume, but I had a tough time getting some of the key costume elements. I ended up having to make my own hat which was quite a chore...but it turned out pretty cool. I had a tough time finding Garth's glasses as well and finally found them (last pair) at Michelle's costume shop. This costume shop is totally out of the way and in a neighborhood, but its a great store...they have tons of costumes, wigs, accessories and also rent costumes as well.

We did some studying for our roles by watching 'School of Rock' and 'Wayne's World'. Grayson was really good at playing the Rockstar role and would rock out on his guitar and sing "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day!"
