Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

Fall Days





Thursday, October 15, 2009




I found some pictures i took a couple years back when Joshua was just a baby. we were visiting the Oregon Coast. I love taking pictures and i love lighthouses. My dream one day is to drive the coast and visit as many lighthouses as we can!

I never thought i would hear the word "pirate" spoken so much in one day. I guess it comes from having boys... pirates, monsters, dinosaurs, ect... It would be strange to hear about princesses and flowers and girly things all day.



Today has been a longer day. I'm ready for the boys to be sleeping but they aren't yet. Daniel and Elijah and in bed but not sleeping and Joshua is outside with Matt.



So i've been reading this book written by a man who has autism. He has such an interestingstory and it's been encouraging/enlightening to read it. I don't think that he ends up being a christian but he had a couple of observations on christianity that i found interesting and wanted to share...



"I was on shaky ground with all these christians, I could never tell what the rules were with them. Every Christian you meet has a different interpretation of God's word, a tottaly different view of mortality and they all think they're right."



How true is that?
Our first visit to pick pumpkins. Overall it was okay.. Joshu enjoyed it the most. Daniel wasn't to thrilled about being in a new place and also i think the hay from the hayride was bothering him. Anyway... here a a couple of pictures i was able to snap of them.

C is for Cookie

Today we made some gluten free dinosaur cookies...

Rolling out the dough


Cutting out the cookies



Matt walked by and thought it this was the funniest thing and had to take a picture..
(yes those are MY hand prints... I'm not sure why i do this but i tend to wipe my hands on my skirt if they are covered in flour... i know this may make you never want to eat at my house again but i promise you i am a very sanitary cook! )



Mommy Dinosaur and baby Dino playing



mmm yummy cookies done and ready to eat





Oh NO... The Dino is going to be eaten!






Chomp... yum yum

(that's ketchup on his nose from dinner!)

I tried to get him to decorate them but he just wanted to eat them... maybe tomorrow.
Oh and i CAN'T put up a picture post without putting up a picture of Elijah!

What a charmer!
