Cabin Weekend!

We knew this was going to happen sooner or later.  The leaves are falling and it's time to get them cleaned up!

After all the busy nights of Arise, volleyball finals, basketball tournament and finishing up golf, we could not wait to go to the cabin and REST!

It was just lovely!  Most of my family were up for the weekend and we had the best of times!

Zayla went with us because Lena was a girls trip and she did great!

So much time is spent out in the teepee!

We made chili over the campfire for supper one night!  A fun highlight!

Ginger got to go with us again!

The Phillies are in the World Series and of course the boys had a way of watching it!

Zane had a birthday!  Mim planned a Blippi party!

And the big boys hunted and Tony shot a bear!  How exciting!

I also took Skylar's photos up there!  I have the cutest nieces and nephews!

We ate the best foods at the cabin!  We are blessed and what a gift from Mom and Dad to have this cabin be a place for our entire family to enjoy!

Arise Collective Gala!

 

November is here and so is the first hard frost.

Each morning, after the children are off to school, I go for my walk!  The photo's I captured last week are stunning!!!!

And this month is going to be lots of apple recipes!  I started with making homemade apple butter again!  It's a simple recipe I found on Pinterest!

These yellow autumn trees are so golden and remind me of heaven must look all the time!!!

We've been super busy with helping out with Arise Collective showing Pilgrim at our church the past two weekends!  It's been a ton of fun!  Mike helped with security.  I lined up meals and stocked the fridge with some of Arise's favorite foods at church!   

It was decided to hold a fundraiser for them and this took place last week to!  It was beautiful!  Claudia and Clarita did a great job planning it all out!  Over $100,000.00 were raised to help spread the message of Jesus though Pilgrim!

Jovi did a spread of food that was outstanding!  Loreta made mini pumpkin sourdough breads.

Everything came together beautifully!

Look at these beautiful flowers and foods!

Steve and Ruth catered the meal and Bethel made the cheesecakes!

I got to go with my date!  We loved this fundraiser night!

These past few weeks have been super busy but super life giving!

🍂 November 🍂

 November is here and the fall colors are still in full color!  

The reds, yellows and browns are so vibrant!

We are having the most beautiful fall days!  I hoped to find a pumpkin patch for the kids this year but just not seeing the big pumpkins around.  So, we went out the road to do a mini photo session at this church!  These leaves are gorgeous!

And so are the children!  So beautiful!

XOXO!

It won't be long before the leaves all start to fall and we will be blowing them into the fields but what a beautiful autumn God is giving us!!!!
