I Passed!!!

Well, everyone, yesterday was my fifteenth birthday. For my birthday I went to go get my driving permit. I am excited to admit that I passed on my first try!!!! I only missed two questions. I was pretty happy!!! After dinner Dad took me driving around a church parking lot near our house. It was really fun! I don't think I scared him to much!!! :)

Here is a picture of me with my permit!!!

Christmas Cheer!

The other day Mom and I were looking at Target for some fun Christmas cards for friends and family. We found these which I thought were hilarious, and we wanted to share them with you! This was one of my favorites!

"Look buddy, we live next door, and all night long we've been puttin' up with the singing angels, the crying baby, the stinking frankincense, and that big, bright star. But I tell ya, that @$%& pa-rum-pa-pa-pum-pumming has gotta stop!"

I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!!! :)

Halloween!!

On Halloween night we went trick-or-treating with the grandkids! We all got into our costumes and went around getting candy and had a great time! Joseph wasn't quite sure what was going to happen, but after the first few houses where they gave him candy, he was running up every driveway to get more! Afterwards the cousins just sat around eating candy together! Ally- Alice in Wonderland

Pumpkin Carving

On Thursday morning before the park I realized that Halloween was on Friday and I still hadn't carved my pumpkin. So I decided to carve my pumpkin that morning. What I didn't think about was that we were planning on watching my nieces and nephews. So my usual pumpkin carving as the youngest child of 8 was a little different this time around. My sister Sarah was assuring me that I had been lucky because this was what she had to deal with all the time!

Here is a picture of the finished product.

A Day at the Park

On Thursday we thought it would be fun to take the grandkids to a park. Ben on top of the playground. Helping Grace on the monkey bars.

I know I had a really good time and I'm pretty sure everyone else had fun too. They didn't want to leave after about 2hrs. of playing! Joseph still asks if we can go to the playground.
