Was my first full month working full time after summer break.

They only pictures I have are of an engagement session I did...which was a first for me.

but I love how they turned out.

October 2012

We attended our first ever dog show...it was pretty neat!

 The boys played basketball...and it was hilarious. They were like a 2 man team and only passed to eachother.:)

 Our church put on it's very first trunk or treat, which was a big success!

 Our trunk was super hero themed..Sam enjoyed giving out candy..

November 2012

We got to have an AMAZING Thanksgiving with 3 of the 5 siblings, in a borrowed house.:)

THANK YOU, Salgivers!

 Cassie cheered for the first time. She is amazing..and totally natural.

 I got to love on my nephew for a WHOLE WEEK!

 Samantha turned 9, and had a sleepover in our tiny house with 6 girls.

 Cassie and her Robotics team..their robot didn't cooperate, but such a cool experience.

December 2012

Tyson and I got away for our 13th anniversary coming up on the 5th, 

                                        Samantha participated in her first Robotic's competition..

2012 was a good, hard year. 

I don't know entirely what 2013 holds, but I 

know who holds 2013. 

I also know in the next few months, exciting things will be happening for our family, and

we cannot wait to share it with you.
