Scott's 12th Birthday!

This evening Scott had his birthday party! He had an Oreo cake - yummy!



One game the kids played pitted two players, locating a piece of gum hidden under whipped cream without using their hands, chewing the gum, and being the first to blow a bubble. Lots of fun!!
Becky was in charge of the games. Here she's explaining a candy corn hunt in the hallway! Thanks, Becky!!!

Balloons are always a hit at a party!


Blowing out the 12 candles!

Eating cake and snacks - always fun!




Happy Birthday, Scott! Now that you're 12, I guess you can use six straws to drink your cola!

BFA Visit

We had a great visit with Kurt and Kelli last weekend at BFA! Kelli has all her posters up in her room (39 posters right now!). She enjoys her dorm and loves her roommate, Ami!

We took pljeskavica and cevapi (Serbian hamburgers and meat sticks) and cooked a Serbian meal for the kids. They really enjoyed a taste from home! Josh Manley joined us (his family is in Slovenia).
We drove up to HochBlauen, the top of the mountain above Kurt and Kelli's dorms. What an incredible views of Germany, Switzerland and France, depending on which side you looked at!


Creeking the birthday boy is a Sonne dorm tradition. Kurt helped creek a dormmate. It's funny to watch the event!
Kelli and Scott enjoyed having some sister/brother time together. You can't tell it in the picture, but snow was falling!


Silly kids....!

School was about to start, so we had to say good-byes. It was a great family time together. Thank you, Lord!

Fall Bike Ride

On Saturday we got out the bikes, worked on them a bit, then went for a ride around town.


The leaves are beginning to change colors, the temperature was in the 70s, and it was just a beautiful day!
