Jon Miller, Casselberry City Commissioner (Seat 2)

My Step-Brother just won a seat as a Casselberry, FL city commissioner. It is nice to have a Republican on my side of the family. Congrats Jon!!

New Van

Here's our new van. We didn't crash the old one, we just got a great deal on a better van. It's a 2001 Honda, Odessey EX. It's got cool automatic sliding doors, a built in T.V. with VCR (oh yeah!) and DVD hookup. It has new tires, alloy wheels, CD player and lots of other great stuff. And it's clean! :)

Autumn leaves

We have a million leaves in our yard! The kids love it! Lance has been raking, and they love to jump in the leaves. Daniel doesn't get to go out, but he's pushing up on his knees. A few more weeks and he'll be crawling! His face is fuzzy in the photo, but it's the only one I have of him pushing up. I'll get a better shot soon.

Halloween

We went to the annual Boone Boo & Monster Parade. Here are our monsters. :)
Lance & I made the cake for the Branch Halloween Party. It was tasty!

HE PASSED!!!

Yesterday Lance got his Marriage & Family Therapist License in the mail!!! We're so excited!! He's changing all of his business cards today because he is now a LICENSED MFT!

Class of 1996

Lance's 10 year reunion was this weekend and we went! It was fun! Here are some photos from the events Enjoy!

Cold, but fun

Alex talked me into a trip to Tweetsie RR this morning. It was FREEZING, but he had a great time. Here's one of the photos I got of him.

Lil' Punkin

Here's our little pumpkin!

Playing in the Yard

Lance & the kids had some fun times outside enjoying the beautiful fall foliage. Aren't the leaves beautiful? And didn't Lance do a fabulous job on the yard?

Spider Man!

So, it turns out that the sipder in our yard (see the last blog) was genetically engineered. Alex got bit and now he's climbing the walls-FOR REAL. Watch out Green Goblin, evil do-ers, and Jenny!

Spider!

This big girl I found in our yard a few weeks ago while I was mowing. It is the biggest, hefty-est spider I have ever seen in NC. It gave me the creeps, but I couldn't kill it (I thought it's family might come and avenge it's death, or that I might try and it would jump me...). Anyway, enjoy the pic.

Should'a posted this earlier...

This cool pic was taken back when Ryan and Tracy were here visiting. This is on the top of a mountian north of us. (Click on it for a bigger pic). Beautiful up here, ain't it?

The boys

Here is a recent pic of Alex and Daniel. Enjoy!

Back to School

Just so everyone knows, I am applying for a doctoral program at BYU. If everything goes well, we will be moving back to Utah next summer. Yeeeehaaaawww!

More beauty

These shots are from just down the road from our house, by the Christmas tree farm, less than a mile away. One is slightly enhanced so you get the feel of the day, the other is as-is. Enjoy, and come visit!

Carolina Sunset

This photo was taken just down the road from our house, less than a mile away, off of our road. We live in a beautiful area.

Jenny's First Day at School

Jenny started school on the 10th. Here she is on her first day!

Look who came to visit!

Ruth and Nate came to visit us on the 13th. It was great to meet Nate and to see cousin Ruth again. No, they don't have a baby, that is Daniel...

Daniel

He smiles!

Oh Deer!

Sometimes it feels like we are the ones in the cage that all the animals come to look at (like the birds, racoons, and yes, even deer.) If you look closely, that is a deer peeking in our window behind the blinds.
