the long awaited Posting...Sorry!

OK the story starts about here...This is the card my dad made for his company contest...he won 1st place and 200 dollars! Yes that is what i call a contest...we have been scrambling to find all the stuff to reproduce this card 500 times. So over the last two weeks we have been working on getting the stuff and cutting it all out. It has been crazy with lots of thanks to Ronda and Dee helping us with info and ordering the stuff we needed from Stampin*p.
This same weekend that we were crazy cutting out and and doing the piece work for the cards was Josh and Ella's first daddy daughter camp out...they had so much Fun. They carved pumpkins and Eat food and played. that had a lot of fun(even though they had BIG BIG uninvited SPIDERS hanging out with them!)

So this last Saturday we had Trunk or treat at our church building. The kids were a pirate ARRRRRGGg and a army "guy". they had fun getting the candy...Brandon wanted to run around and play but it was to crazy for that so he drove...

this is his close up...Looking more and more like grandpa every day!!!

other that that we have been working on tying and and stitching quilts trying to get them finished so we can bind them and use them this winter. Kaylee and Makell made a sudoku quilt...way cute i will try and take a pic of them all finished!

other than that Our whole family went through the stomach flue a few weeks ago all taking our turns feeling like crap...that really took its toll! and as soon as i got over it my parents were here and we were off and running with the cards and i haven't really sat still since...
