first trick or treating!

isnt it weird that kids automatically know how to trick or treat? they can be shy in so many areas but they dont mind asking complete strangers for candy! Frankie didnt miss a beat getting candy that night and even saw a dog inside one of the house and helped herself into the house to chase the dog! how embarrassing! she is my brave girl. 

ordination celebration

so we are apart of the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA). Mojo has gone through rigorous exams and tests and more oral exams to become an ordained minister. It's pretty hardcore out here in the west and he was pretty nervous about passing and he did!!!
we have some wonderful friends who live in Colorado Springs who are also planting a church and Jason was also standing for ordination at the same time as Mojo. Since they both passed we went out to  a fancy dinner with them to celebrate their wonderful accomplishment.
Kara has a wonderful blog about her battle with cancer here, read it and be encouraged!!!

                       fun trip to boulder after a drive through the mountains to see the pretty leaves!

maggie's 6th!

can you believe maggie is 6?????? this little girl is coming into her own for sure. she is so confident at school, so brave. she is sassy about her clothes now too. she ONLY wants to wear her new balance shoes and does NOT like to layer her shirts. she is so sweet to frankie and is still best friends with Abraham.
for her birthday she asked to have a picnic birthday party. it was the easiest party i've ever done! so many sweet little girls from church and school. she is really blessed!
