This sure puts life in perspective

You have to take the 5 minutes to watch this video! This really puts life in perspective. We have a lot to be thankful for. I have always believed that life can always be worse....it's all in how you view life and whether or not you choose to learn to live with your life and learn the lessons that God has for you or if you choose to drown in your life. The choice is up to you. This guy Nick is amazing and someone that we can all look to for encouragement.

Halloween

Thought I would post a pic of our kiddos from Halloween. I am not personally a big fan of Halloween, but the kids love dressing up! We went to Reid's BFF friends house for a party and then went trick or treating! The kids had a great time! Now, we have enough candy to last us for about another year. YIPPEE!

I wish you could see in these pics that Ella's wings sparkled. Literally, they lit up and lights flashed on and off all night. It was a great way to keep up with her at Trick or Treat time! This was her first experience with trick or treating. She was determined to walk the whole time by herself even though she was in a complete daze about half way through. She ran her little legs off to keep up with her brothers and her friends.

My Little Soccer Stud!

Reid had his last soccer game for the Fall Season this past Saturday. He has really turned into the soccer stud this season! He has scored just about every game and most games he scores 2x! It's been so fun to watch as his confidence has really been boosted. Most importantly, he's been having fun while learning the game and learning to play on a team! He's already excited to play in the Spring!

Here are some pics of him at his last game.

Such great form as he turns the ball around!

He's going down for the score!

And he SCORES! For the record, he scored the only 2 points for our team this game. Yes, sadly, we lost our very last game!

Not all of Hollywood is for Obama

This is a pretty long video (about 20 min), but is worth the listen. If you don't know how to vote on Tuesday...this should help you. We as Christians (or so called Christians) have let politics be one of those things that we just gripe about, but not get involved in. We MUST get involved. We MUST vote on morals if for nothing else. I am just unsure how we can call ourselves a Child of God's and vote for every moral thing that goes AGAINST God's Word. At this point in the game, we are only arguing with God's Word and not each other.

If you haven't voted...GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Seriously.....

You have to check out this link to Howard Stern's radio show. I'm NOT a Stern supporter...but LOVE this! He is proving that our country doesn't have a CLUE who they are voting for next week. We need to do some serious prayer!!!

Pumpkin Patch

I have spent the past 2 days at the Pumpkin Patch with my kiddos! Yesterday after we dropped Reid off at school, I took Cole and Ella to meet some of Cole's school friends at the pumpkin patch. I loved doing this since Cole's friends are usually Reid's age. Cole was excited to meet up with his 2 buddies from school. The fun thing is that both of these little boys have big brothers that are in Kindergarten as well. Anyway, I wanted to post some pictures of Ella and Cole. I have only posted one here. You can go to my Photography blog to view the rest.

I went back to the patch today with Reid's class for his field trip! I will have more pics later of his trip. The bad thing about being a photographer is that you can't just take a point and shoot camera to these events and just post the pics...nope....since everyone knows you are a photographer, they expect the big ole camera! Seriously, my fav pics are the pumpkin patch pics...so I can't help myself!

More to come....I hope!

Trip to the Zoo

Last week, Reid had a day off from school, so Daddy took off and we went to the zoo! Reid's most favorite field trip of the year is the zoo!!! He LOVES the animals. All 3 of the kids really had a great time. This was the first year that Ella enjoyed the zoo as well. They would run from animal to animal with such great excitement. It was really cute to see. And they were thrilled that Daddy was there with us (and so was I). It's much more fun for mom too with some help!

They were all exhausted by the time we left. They all fell asleep by the time we got to the freeway and slept the whole way home. It was a wonderful family day!

Reid may follow in his mom's footsteps in that he wanted to take pictures of the animals! He loves to take pictures...but then again, he may have just wanted to take pictures of them so that he can look at them any time he wants!

Never mind the girl in the background picking her nose!! LOL!!
