Happy Birthday Natalie...and Happy Halloween!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY NATALIE!!!

Yes, our little girl turned four years old, and we are so proud of her. My mom came out to visit, which was a huge help, especially when I got the flu for a few days...as did Natalie and Kyle! Kyle was actually gone most of the time and missed both of her birthday celebrations, but work has been crazy busy the last month. He's been spending a lot of time in Gillette and North Dakota, but we're glad he's home now. He got to spend his first Halloween tonight with the kids. It was great. Anyway, not much else is now here. We're all trying to stay healthy, washing hands a lot, and we've been enjoying a bit of Fall weather that seemed to pass us by a few weeks ago. I'm getting ready for three craft shows this month! Here are some photos of the last three weeks...

Natalie and her first Barbie... yea?

Uncle Tracy and my mom were both here visiting for the birthday dinner at Grandma Jill's

Karrie's new Corgie puppy Bo. He is so adorable and I've convinced myself we need one... sometime.

Nattie on her new big girl bike Kyle and I got her

And here is the pig cake that was supposed to be for the party for her friends, which we canceled because everyone was sick! For months she's been asking for a pig and a chicken for her birthday, and I figured this was the next best thing. Thanks for the decorating help, Mandy!


While Cousin Madison was here we took the kids to the pumpkin patch, which was a lot of fun, even though we were a little late in the season.

Grammie with Nattie and Beckett


Beckett is really good at giving kisses and is so much more expressive with his face now. He's a lot of fun to play with! He's also pulling himself up and walking around the table now, so it won't be long now until he's walking!


And here's Beckett the Bull on Halloween. It's the costume Natalie wore when she was two and it fits him perfectly! He was the bull and Daddy was the rodeo clown...

And Miss Natalie was the horse...with a blue face. She saw Daddy's face paint and had to have some.


Taylor and Natalie...I love this picture! Natalie has always followed Taylor around like a puppy since she was little. We went to Mandy's for the evening (no one trick or treats that far out of town where we live) and went around her block and had hot chocolate. It was actually pretty warm tonight, which is a huge change from the last two years.

Mandy has the best yard decorations!

Well, that's about it from Way Out Yonder. Hope you all are doing well and getting ready for the holidays! Hugs to all.

YEA! you always do such a terrific job. It was a special treat for me (the best Halloween treat ever) when I got home to see this on the computer. See you all tomorrow. I send love and HUGS!

Your bull, horse and rodeo clown are just too cute! Looks like you guys had a good time. We would have loved to have you along with us :) Gracie was cracking us up. Out of all the kids, she was the one really eating it up...too funny! A corgi and a great dane...sounds perfect to me :) Can't wait to get to visit again sometime soon. I'll give ya a call early next week.
