God's child. Doug's wife. Evelyn and Matthew's mom. Doing my best to enjoy (and capture on film and in words) our fortunate life.

My nephew is married!!
Zach married Jaysea yesterday down in Salem and it was such a lovely day celebrating them and being together with family!
Here are some pics of the day..
This year Evelyn had a few friends over to watch movies and hang out, and Matthew went trick or treating with friends. Love that they both did their own thing and ok with Doug and I just staying home.
It ended up being a quiet night with very few trick or treaters at our house, but I am really loving Halloween with big kids these days!
Each year the youth football program does a fundraising event, selling pies. The past 3 years Matthew has been the top seller and has always gotten a gift card.
I do a lot of the leg work with pie sales, which I don't mind, and Matthew is always grateful for that. This year after he won he told me he wanted to take me to lunch with his money to thank me. I suggested Buffalo Wild Wings on a Sunday to watch football. It was a win for us both! We went today after church and had the best time, watching football games, eating good food and chatting about everything.
This year's top pie sellers
This was Matthew's last season of youth football.
His last game was last weekend.
It hasn't been the best season. In, fact, it was hard. The boys lost every game, lost two key players to broken bones early in the season, and had the cards stacked against them every game.
But Matthew and most of these boys dug deep and kept showing up. They developed character and friendships thru this hard season. They laughed together, they cried together, kept playing hard together. Every week.
I could not be more proud of our boy.
I attempted to get fall photos of the kids today. They were somewhat cooperative and I got a few decent shots. It was fun to add Bodie to thie mix...haha!
Love these three so very much!!
I took Evelyn and Heidi to see the Era's movie tonight and we had the BEST time!
The girls took photos, traded bracelets, and sand and danced their hearts out. I think I enjoyed watching them as much if not more than watching the movie.
A great nice with two of my favorite girls!
