There is beauty all around.













Griffin. Believe it or not, he's 6.















None other than . . . Cooper. Happy birthday Cooper. He turned 5 yesterday (the 3rd of Nov)












Lisa, Jerret, and Hunter.














Here we have Grant, Ray, and Devin chopping and stacking wood for the winter. Ok, ok; some of it got used for the bonfire.




I'm learning how to post collages, woohoo.

This is from our Canada trip in August. In it are Zach, Cooper, Griffin, Devin, Hunter, and Jake with his gramma. Jake is one of Griffin, Cooper, and Hunter's cousins.

Missouri

Earlier this month of October, we were able to go to Missouri to visit Ray's parents. Brandon, Lisa, and their little Ashlynn flew out to see Grandma and Grandpa Jastal. While we were all there, Ray's brother Jay and his family (Sandy and kids . . . Jesse, Sean, Abby, and Libby) came to visit. Most of us went bowling together.



The three cutest little girls ever . . . Brinya, Vara, and Ashlynn

The football game . . . Ray, Brandon, Devin, and Sean.

This spider was the tree in front of our house.
Does anyone know what kind it is?

Precious little Vara.

So, Vara was born approximately 11:31 on 27th Aug 2009.
Brinya finally got to meet her about 6:30 pm. She was quite
enthused.
