Just some random pictures from my phone the last few months
Probably not in order timewise, but I'm just going to caption them and post this.
Me and the kiddos on voting day
A friend of ours was moving and downsizing and gave us these little espresso cups which are perfect for tea parties! :)
Franklin loves his little cousin Nathan! <3
Watching the guys do some ladder training one evening
Samuel is still the Fire Chief and does an amazing job of it I think!
On a family walk down our dirt road
Family picture taken on Thanksgiving.....which was also the one year anniversary of Sam's wreck.

on the train
The Campbell and Cumby engines went out and stood at attention on the overpasses while a funeral procession for a local officer went through
Franklin has reached the "get into everything I can reach" phase......
James procrastinating going to bed by telling me some wild imagination.....this kiddo's brain amazes me!
James got cars for his 4th birthday and loved them!
We actually got enough snow to play in!!!

Deb was so sweet to watch the kiddos while I had a meeting and took this pic of the kiddos playing dress up :)
He always wants to help me wash dishes/play in the water
He'll hand me my phone and say "cheese"
I've been working at not leaving dirty dishes out overnight......some days are better than others.....
Honestly is a lifestyle....We recently had to deal very close and up hand with someone we thought was a friend, but it turned out was being extremely twofaced and spreading vicious rumors about us and just generally causing dissension....I don't know why some people make some of the decisions they do, but I have to remember that they aren't my responsibility. But it is Sam's and my responsibility to protect those God has put in under our protection from people like this. Ending friendships is hard, but sometimes, unfortunately it's for the best.
Ice cream party!
I Love everything about this picture! <3
some thoughts I posted on facebook......
