Back in the day autumn/Halloween family fun!

Cam dug out these pics for you Ashley babe; you were 6 wks old, 23 years ago in the first pic (I know, crazy outfit I was wearing we all burst out laughing when we saw it again lol); a few more pumpkin patch pics throughout the years, and daddy and I when I was serving as the stake Activities Director & we planned a fun dress in costume dance - dad and I were "over the hill Barbie & mid-life crisis Ken" now we could be "burnt out Barbie and hen pecked Ken hahaha, don't you just love our wigs?! NOT! And then of course our cute little spider girl ... Well, that's it for autumn / Halloween memories for this year; now on to lovely Thanksgiving festivities!




Autumns End


Cameron, Ashley and I all enjoy photography and autumn in picturesque Pennsylvania is simply breathtaking! After treating the sister missionaries, who are assigned to our ward, for breakfast I enjoyed a leisurely drive home with Cam as we meandered throughout the area that surrounds our home enjoying the quaint country views.
I love the barns and bridges in our area; I know, crazy me but there is something so dear about old farm houses, barns, and winding country roads that warm my heart; and ever the 'writer' within me can't help but conjure up a story in my mind regarding the setting. I love moments like these; chatting with one family member or the other who is along for the ride on one of my outings as we create sweet, lasting memories! 
Today I shared laughter combined with serious discussions about a myriad of topics with my son which also happened to include sheep, barns, tire swings and autumn leaves fluttering about.






Trick or Treat ... Connor Potter :)

Connor Potter our cute little Gryffindor wizard dressed in his non muggle attire enjoyed his first Halloween trick or treating at his three great grandmothers; Grandma Laverne, Sharon & Malc, and Betty.  What an adorable little guy he is with his magic wand, owl, cauldron and lightening bolt scar painted on his forehead.  Terrific, creativity mommy and daddy (football player and Ariel)
