Bangor festival of lights Parade

Jessica and Luke were in the lights parade this year. It was a fun way to kick off the holiday season.

Our next activity, making ginger bread houses!

It was tough this year, half of our family was off doing other activities.

There is always next year

Harsh Punishment!

Luke is in a habit of seeing what he can get away with, well he doesn't realize that moms know everything and that there is a consequence for every action (peeing in the garbage can). He didn't like this consequence.

Veterans Day 2010

Our family is full of veterans, I'm so proud of each of them for serving our country. I am so proud of my son who is following in the footsteps of his Father, Grandfather, Uncles and Cousins who have fought for our freedom. I am proud to be an American.

Taylor is somewhere in the middle of his ROTC group.

Organized!

I finally got my cubbys and I feel somewhat organized. does anyone ever feel completely organized. Thanks to Glen and Gary's hard work they look great!

Snow!!

Our first day of snow on Halloween!

Halloween 2010

Halloween this year turned into a 3 day celebration for us. We kicked it off with our adult halloween party, the theme for costumes was come as your favorite childhood tv star, Glen and I were Mike and Carol Brady from the Brady Bunch. It was so much fun seeing the different costumes. On saturday we took the kids to pumpkins in the park which was great to see the different things you can carve pumpkins into. Then of course the annual trunk or treat. We finished off halloween with good old fashion trick or treating in the neighborhood. Our neighbor next door dressed up as a ware wolf and scared the kids, it was actually pretty funny. Jessica still says Mom Linda really scared me.

Fall

I love fall, it is my favorite time of year. I love to bring out the fall colors in my house, go pumpkin picking, bake apple crisp, carve pumpkins and most of all stay inside my cozy house and work on fun projects that I have been waiting for time to do all summer.

Fabulous Summer!!

Our summer began with the celebration of lukes 6th birthday. Then the preparations began for our long summer of visitors. Taylor tended to the outdoor fun by putting together a basketball hoop. Then the fun began with the arrival of my sisters family. We played to our hearts content, we went to the beach, lighthouse, lake, and of course hiking Cadillac mountain and kathadin. We had plenty of lobster dinners for all of our visitors. My sisters family ventured home and we awaited the arrival of Glens sister Jan, following Jan we had a visit from my parents, followed by Glens brother and his family. Wow!

Of course our summer didn't end there. I have so many great pictures I can't possibly post them all so these are just a few. More pictures to come of our summer.
