Cincinnati Museum Center

Samantha and Laney ridding the train at The Train Exhibit.

The girls had another day off of school on Friday, November 11th. Lance took the day off of work so we could go the The Cincinnati Museum Center as a family. We had a very nice time, but we could have stayed for days. That is probably why so many people get passes, so they can go anytime they want. Bradley did really well, because there were so many things to look at. He was awake the whole time just taking everything in.

Longaberger Homestead

On November 8th, the girls didn't have school, so I wanted to do something fun with them. So I courageously drove three hours to the Longaberger Homestead giving the girls the opportunity to weave their very own basket. I think my family thought I was nuts to drive all that way with three youngsters just to make a basket. It could have been a complete disaster, but instead we had a really good time.

We started our day with a tour of the factory. The girls thought it was so cool to see all the basket weavers making the baskets right in front of them.

We lucked out...Longaberger was having a buy-one get-one free sale. The trip ended up being half the cost. Can't beat that!!! http://www.longaberger.com/homestead.aspx

Clay and Lisa's Wedding

A quick snapshot of our kids outside of The Kenwood Country Club.

We enjoyed a nice Sunday Brunch on November 6th to celebrate the marriage of Clay (Lance's Cousin) to his now wife, Lisa.

Family Craft Night at Monroe Elementary

On November 3rd, New Richmond Schools had a Family Craft Night. We had a really good time. There were several design stations set up in the cafeteria. Each Station made a different item out of recycled or natural materials. It is amazing how one can make something so beautiful out of sticks and weeds.

Halloween 2011

This year (since we are in temporary housing) we decided to take the girls over to Lance's sister Tricia's house for Trick-or-Treating. The girls had a good time walking with their cousin Sarah.

Every year we pick a Family Costume. This year we decided on Cowboys. I think we all looked pretty good. The girls were just excited to have all of the little accessories like 2 handguns, a badge, a hat and brand new cowboy boots. We didn't win the church costume contest this year, but the girls knew they still looked good. Better luck next year.

Crazy Hair Day at Locust Cornor

Just Say NO!

The girls had to wear crazy hair for Just Say NO to drugs week. They loved the idea. We really did not have to do much to Samantha's to make her hair crazy! Ha Ha! Above pictures are of the Laney and Samantha with their cousin Thomas.

Mr. Bradley - 4 Months Old

Mr. Bradley is so stinkin' cute!

Every morning I hear him in his crib giggling the whole time I am in the shower.

How can you not smile just by looking at this picture?!!!

I am madly in love with this little guy!
