Budding musician.

Natalie is fascinated by musical instruments, here she is "helping" daddy play the guitar :)

Family bike trip!

We took the kids on a little bike trip last weekend. They both enjoyed the ride, but they were really glad to get out when we stopped for lunch :)

Here is a good shot of Reuben. He has finally decided to walk! Now he is every where and can keep up with Natalie :)

Apple picking!!

It's that time of the year again, we had fun taking Natalie and Reuben apple picking. Since Reuben has decided to start walking, we have been doing a lot more outside before it gets to cold.

Both Reuben and Natalie enjoyed picking apples and eating them :)





Natalie picked her first apple :)

Fun in the yard.

It is starting to get cold again, so we have to take advantage of the warm days while we have them!

Natalie decided to try eating dirt while we weren't looking. She is such a little goof sometimes :)

Reuben's being the man helping out, and trying to use the shovel. "It's kinda hard to shovel when you can't even walk yet!"

New hair cut :)

It was about time for Reuben to get his hair cut again. We decided to use the clippers on it this time, I don't think it turned out too bad! He looks quite handsome :)

Youth group camping trip.

We took our youth group camping on an island in the ocean. It was great! We had lots of fun playing capture the flag and making smores :) The main complaint was the mosquitoes, they were so thick that we had a hard time eating without getting a mouthful of them (YUCK!) The tropical storm held off until we had the last boat load of kids on the main land!

Curtis was the cook, being close to the smoke helped a little with the mosquitoes.

It's Black Berry season!

I have been picking black berries like crazy! 16 liters in total, most of which I have turned into jam. Curtis decided to make a black berry pie before all the berries were turned into jam! It was really good.
