Fall At Our House - Beautiful

Fall at our house this year has been amazing. The colors in the back yard were beautiful and with the treehouse and bridge over the creek it made for a perfect setting for a family picture.

The ground was completely covered with leaves several inches thick. It was so pretty.

Still so proud of my husband for designing and bringing to life this dream treehouse for the kids. I wish I was a kid when I see how much fun they have zip lining off the deck!!

I love that in the midst of beautiful fall colors my knock out rose bushes are still blooming. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and diving nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that man are without excuse." This verse describes perfectly that through creation around us we are able to clearly see God. When I look out and see the beauty of changing leaves and blooming roses I completely understand that a powerful and eternal God created each and every thing I see!!!

Halloween

The kids LOVE Halloween. It is super fun to be able to dress up and be whatever you want to be. Here are a few pictures of our day.

Micah always looking for a way to be silly and make us laugh - the teeth certainly accomplished that!!
McKinney in the "BOO" glasses.
Micah in the "BOO" glasses.
Ready to head out is a cute little airplane,
a beautiful Twister game,
and the most handsome (and strong) Iron Man on the block!!
Getting very excited now!!
We heard a commotion and realized the Segraves' family was coming across the yard. The kids are practically screaming now!!
Ben is already digging into his candy stash.
Micah loves his trick-or-treating bag. He can't wait for it to get dark so it will light up.
The Crozier and Segraves' families. It is getting a little easier each year to get them all posed for a picture.
The kids on the neighbors "hayride" ready to go.
At the end of the night the kids were checking out all their candy and I had to get a picture of this. Rebekah wanted to sort all of hers... hmmm, I think this qualifies as OCD.
