Hogle Zoo

A few weeks ago we were able to go to the Zoo with my parents and Jayme and Brett during UEA days. It was such a nice warm day in October! I love that I could still wear flip flops! We had lots of fun. Especially Dylan. Too bad Chris had to work. We can't wait to go back next year!

Dining Room Before and After

Well we have been very busy remodeling our house. Above is a pic right after we moved in. I just wanted to show the wall color before. (a pink beige) Below is the new color which doesn't look like mustard in person. It is a khaki I would call it, I don't remember the name of it.

Here is our bare window seat. We got new blinds and a new table since then.

My wonderful seamstress Aunt Jill sewed the cushions for the window seats. I mailed her the fabric and she did a wonderful job! I love them!

I still need/want to spray paint the light fixture. And someday Chris is going to refinish our floors. But until then I am (almost) done with one room of the house! Our bathroom is almost done. I will post pics soon.

Fall Soccer

Soccer ended a few weeks ago but I am finally catching up. This was Dylan's first year playing and he loved it! This was Hayley's third year . She would rather be doing ballet. I searched and searched for pictures of Hayley but only could find one. So here is a few. I was actually kind of glad when soccer ended. Four games a week was crazy with a baby!

My parents and Jayme and Brett came to Dylan's last game.

He made a goal and he was so excited!

He always was having fun!

Here is Hayley's team picture. She had a good team who had lots of fun!

Below is a video of Dylan's last goal of the season!

Thanksgiving Point Gardens

The day after my grandma's funeral we all went to the gardens to remember my grandma. She was an artist who painted floral paintings for most of her life. We had fun looking at all of the beautiful flowers.

Uncle John having too much fun in the fountains!

Bobby being Bobby!

Playing games of course

We all went out to dinner after

In Memory of Grandma Rosa

My grandma Bonnie passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 84. She lived a wonderful life full of music and art. She was a wonderful person and a great example to me. I am sad that she will no longer be with us but I am happy that she is free from her body of pain and suffering. I am sure she is having lots of wonderful reunions in heaven!

The Haering Family

The hands of each of her living children

Why does it always have to rain at funerals?

A bagpiper! This was the coolest thing ever.
