Payton and Derek carved the pumpkins that we got at the pumpkin patch earlier this month. They are here waiting for all the trick or treaters.

2012 301:366 Grandma and Jordyn
Jordyn and Grandma. Jordyn and Jonathan got married in Jamaica and had a wedding reception in Jacksonville a week later. I drove to Arkansas to attend the reception and had a great trip and a great time while I was there.
2012 300:366 Sistas
I love these two beautiful women and I am so very blessed to have them in my life! We don't get to see each other as often as I would like, but we sure enjoy it when we do finally get together.
2012 299:366 Decorations
I am in Jacksonville, Arkansas for my neices' wedding reception. We are decorating the hall today for the reception tomorrow. Jordyn did a lot of work and had some very nice decorations. She made it really easy for us and had everything ready to go.
2012 298:366 Little Cabin in the Woods
The fall colors were already starting to fade, but there was still some color left for me to enjoy. This was a roadside stop on my way from Branson to Little Rock.
2012 297:366 Branson, Missouri
I ended up driving most of the day today and didn't really stop to take any photos. This is the sunset in Branson, Missouri taken from the parking lot of the hotel where I stayed.
2012 295:366 The Ulrich Siblings
While on my travels, I had the privelege of stopping to see my Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Rodney in Kansas City and spend a few days with them. I had such a nice visit and really enjoyed getting to know them a little better. This is one of the photos that Jeanette has in her home. It is the first six out of the eight siblings in my dads' family. I love it!

2012 293:366 No Boyfriends!
Every time that Jeff talks to the kids, he asks about their boyfriends (girlfriends). He can't see this, but this is the face that Abby makes when he asks. =D Apparently she doensn't have any boyfriends yet.
2012 292:366 Girl Scout Program
I made it to Omaha in time to see my #1 granddaughter take part in the Juliet Lowe celebration with her brownie troop. As you can see, she's very excited to do this.
2012 291:366 Bridges of Madison County
While traveling through Iowa, I made a little side trip to see the Bridges of Madison County. There are seven covered bridges, all within a few miles of each other. It was raining and windy, so I didn't explore as much as I could, but it was pretty countryside and worth the time that I took to make the trip.
2012 290:366 Lonely Leaf
This was taken someplace in Iowa, after leaving Minneapolis and heading to Omaha. I took my time and did a little bit of sight seeing, but the weather was cold and rainy and windy, so it was hard to do too much.
2012 289:366 Holly and the Girls
We snapped a few family photos tonight for Holly and the girls. Ryan was still at work and Donnie, Julie and I were on our way to Heidi's, so it was just the four of them. Ellie was also getting sick, so we just snapped a few photos and called it good. They are such a nice family!!
2012 288:366 St. Michael, MN
Just a quick shot from the place where Donnie and Julie live. It's very peaceful and pretty there. I had a great visit with everyone.
2012 287:366 Cousins
I am on the beginning of my three week trip ending up in Little Rock. My first stop was in Fargo, now I've headed to Minneapolis to visit with my aunt, uncle and cousins. We spent the day at the pumpkin patch. It was cold out today. Here are some of the kids in the corn maze. Shame on me for not getting a photo of all of them together. I had a lot of fun though and it was great to get to see some of my extended family. This has been the year for me to visit with as many as I can from my dad's side of the family and I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
2012 286:366 Pumpkin Patch
Derek and I took Mr. P. to the Pumpkin Patch out by Buffalo River State Park. It was a beautiful morning with lots of things to do. We also bought their pumpkins for carving.
2012 284:366 Tackling Daddy
Brandy sent a "Cago Bears" helmet to Mr. P. because her kids were no longer using it and Mr. P. is a big Bears fan. We had our own little game of football in the back yard and Mr. P. made a good tackle here.
2012 283:366 Applesauce
I've been busy making applesauce from all of the apples on the tree in the back yard. Once you've had homemade applesauce (it's very easy to make) you'll never buy it again!
2012 281:366 Ornamental Cabbage
OK, I'm really not sure if that is what this plant is or not, but it sounds goo to me. This is a plant at one of my neighbor's. I think it's gorgeous. There was also a white one there.

2012 280:366 Nancy
This is my Aunt Nancy! She was working at Glencoe Churchs' annual Pancake and Sausage fundraiser. Nancy has been a member of that church for many, many years. See that smile on her face?? Yep, it's always there. I don't get to see her as often as I'd like, but that doesn't mean that I don't love her all the same.
2012 279:366 Corn Cobs
These are some of the corn cobs that Jeff has brought in from the fields to feed the birds. They've sure attracted a lot of different birds, as well as some squirrels.
2012 278:366 Bluebirds
Jeff has brought in some sunflowers and corn cobs from the fields and it has been attracting lots of birds. I have been watching them from the living room window. It's been fun to see all the different species. Now I just need to learn about them.
2012 277:366 Hay Bales
I went for a drive this afternoon to check out the snow. We didn't get much, but know that it's on it's way. Not.ready.yet.
2012 274:366 Foggy Morning Moon
I'm heading home from Spearfish this morning and had to stop for road construction, so I took the opportunity to snap a quick photo.
2012 273:366 Black Hills Photo Shootout
We were on our way to the Attracting Wildlife workshop and had to stop for a great photo op. It was a beautiful sunrise and morning.
2012 272:366 Black Hills Photo Shootout
I went to the Black Hills Photo Shootout again this year. I believe that this photo was taken in the Cowboy Portraits workshop.
