October.....

Busy, busy, busy! Alot has happened this month. Starting with the last thing first, All Hallows Eve. Its so fun but, a ridiculous amount of work to go to 6 houses trick-or-treating. My kids were SO excited though. Captain Hook (well his "helper" cause we lost the hook at a pre-halloween party!) and Tinkerbell.

The roof of our new house!!!!! Finally able to get some sheeting up with the help of my awesome big little brother! Cole has been a huge help. By the time Cade gets home from school, there isn't a whole lot of daylight left. So they work really hard and fast to get one row up a night!
Working hard while I take pictures! It really looks like a house now.
My little pumpkins, holding their pumpkins! Kenzie's came out of our garden this year.
Kenzie eating the pumkins, after I told her don't put that in your mouth! She would lick it and look at me like mmmmm, this is good!
So excited to carve the pumkins! Carson couldn't wait for this part. =D
Unc, being a great Unc, reading to the kids. We are SUPER excited that he will be living here for a few months at least. Carson wants to have a spend the night every night. He even prayed for Unc to have enough $ so he wouldn't have to go to work, and could spend the night. They really love him!
Well that is part of October, keep reading and you can see what else we have done in the past month!
PS- look at me go with the blogging! hahaha

Mini-Mortensen-Reunion

Almost a reunion! 4 of Grandma's 7 kids were there, and a fraction of her grandkids, and great-grandkids. We had a good time though! we met a few sundays ago at after church at the park in Sanford. We had some good food, good visits, and of course, a good game of football!

Our cheering section.
Serious strategies being developed here!
There were a few good hits before we switched to 2 hand touch. =D
I don't know who is more excited to have their pictures taken, my kids or Grandma!
This is all of us, lets see if I can get everybody! Back row on the left: Gordon, Cole, Lynn, Mike, Dad. Next row: Dixie, Kayla, Lois, Tiana, Emma, Jan, TJ, Tyla, Tayte, Ashlee, Kenzie, Kelsi, Kenya.

Round-up this fall was really good, nice weather, good company. We even had a little extra help!
Sweetheart of a girl!
Cousins
Love him!
Cutest. Kids. Ever.
Like father, like son! These two would ride everyday if they could!
Carson waits for this all year! He would wake up every moring for about 2 weeks before the cattle drive and ask if he could ride. He is our lil' cowboy!
Oh, how I love them!

The three Amigos!
2 of the cutest cowboys, ever!
Emma and Cole helping out on the good ole cattle drive!
