Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins last night & the kids had a blast.  It brought back some memories of Donnie & I carving pumpkins where I hated getting the pumpkin goop out & he loved it.  You can tell Ry & Paul have the same qualities just by looking at their facial expressions!!! 

 Paul continued to play with the goop as Rob and I cut out the faces.

 The finished product!

University of Idaho Homecoming 2010

Vandal Homecoming was last weekend!  What a great time!  The parade was an hour & a half long, but the kids got tons of candy, so they didn't mind!  The game was great and it's always nice to win!  Plus, we got to meet up with Jim, April and the kids and Jan & Steve!  

Here are the 4 older kids...Paul, Rylee Marie, Rylee B  & Ethan

Donnie, Mandalyn, Everleigh & Emerson visit

Donnie & Everleigh came up to CDA on Saturday to help in the preparations for Grandma's Service.  Mandalyn & Emerson came up on Wednesday!  The girls are just as cute as can be and my kids loved having their cousins around!

Here is Evie in the shirt that has been passed down through 3 of 4 grandchildren (it says "My Grandparents Don't Spoil Me, They're Just Very Accomodating")

Paul getting ready for camping

A couple of weekends ago, Paul got to go camping with Rob down near Moscow where Rob used to hunt with his buddies.  Paul was so excited!  He told GV that they were gonna kill a bear and GV said "WHAT?" and Paul said "Well, not me Grandma!"  He had a lot of fun and came home VERY TIRED!

Cleaning out the Garden for the year

We finally dug up all of our carrots and they were so yummy & sweet.  We also found 7 ears of corn, a couple of cucumbers and more tomatoes!  The garden was not as successful as usual, but still produced enough to make it worthwhile!

Grandma Hulsizer's Celebration of Life

On Friday, Oct 22, we celebrated the life of my Grandma, LoRayne Hulsizer.  She will be greatly missed as she was such a wonderful woman.  It was nice to have the church full of people who loved Grandma and get to tell and hear stories about her!

Timberpup Halftime Show Video

Rylee was watching the cheerleader to her right the whole time, but it's still pretty cute!  The cheerleader that I zoomed in on towards the end is our daycare lady's daughter. 

 

Lake City Timberpups Fall 2010

Rylee participated in the Lake City Cheer Camp again this fall. The cheerleaders put on a camp on a Saturday, then the camp attendees perform at the following week's Friday Night football game.  Thankfully, it did not rain this year!

Baking with the kiddos

Making apple pies & apple crisp with the kiddos!  Rylee helped me make apple pies for Papa & Rob and Paul helped me make apple crisp last night!  Yummy! :)

Skate Plaza

Rylee's school had a fundraising event at Skate Plaza in early October and I went along!  It brought back some great memories of skate plaza and reminded me of how fun skating was.  Here are a few pictures of Miss Rylee

Grandma Hulsizer

Here is a picture from several Christmases ago of my Grandpa & Grandma Hulsizer.  Aren't they a cute couple?  Grandma Hulsizer passed away yesterday morning.  She was very loved and will be greatly missed. 

Angel

This is Angel, when she was a puppy.  She had this creepy ball that was made out of rubber fingers, she loved it.  I just came across this picture and had to post how stinkin' adorable Angelica was when she was a puppy.  If you sat on the floor, she would walk in front of you, turn her hind end towards you and back up to sit in your lap.  It was pretty funny!  I love this girl!
PS -- I still have that sweatshirt even though she put a bunch of holes in the sleeves with her puppy teeth!

Blueberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins

 Rylee and I made some blueberry muffins the other night & she insisted that we put some mini chocolate chips in them....She loves helping out in the kitchen!
