I love the fall! The tree's are so beautiful! I love harvest and pumpkins! Today was a pretty day in Ohio! Kerstin danced at the Apple Festival this a.m. and then we went to the Pumpkin patch to get pumpkins! As you can see we not only carved our pumpkins but painted them too!

Happy Fall!

It's harvest time and we are busy as ever!

We did take time out for trick or treat at the campground!

Kenz was a Lincolnview basketball player....Kerstin was to be a witch but in true Kerstin form changed her mind at the last minute because it was so hot and she just wore a dance costume we had in the camper. Sidney took the cake with her candy corn princess costume~ AND big news....I actually made her costume! Judy did help sew the skirt so thanks to Gma Judy!

Be

We still have landscaping to do but decided to get more pine tree's to finish our wind break and I have always wanted a willow tree as my Grandma has them and I enjoyed hours of play time as a child under her tree. Scott got one for us yesterday! I know...they are big and dirty, etc...we are just telling everyone it's a pear tree so we don't have to listen to the negatives of our fast growing tree! lol

Everyone joined in the planting w/ Daddy except Kerstin didn't do too much work. She prefers practicing her new 'moves'!

A Special THANK YOU to my friend Terra for allowing us to come over and 'play' Sunday! Kerstin has been asking to ride a horse for a long time! Terra has 2 pony's and 5 horses so even though it was a rainy day we were all able to ride in the barn and had a SPECTACULAR time riding, playing and just spending time with Terra and her Girls! As you can see Kenz rode an actual horse and the other two rode a pony. Sid and Meg entertained themselves by playing with cats, climbing the gates and playing demo derby with the wheel barrows! All in all it was a great day!

Lincolnview - First day to school!!

Today Kerstin started 1st grade with Mrs.Cox and McKenize went to Mrs.Owens 4th grade! They were both very excited when they left this a.m.! I wasn't even sad because it was time for a schedule and 'routine'! Until...I saw one of my friends and her hubby who had dropped their 3rd and Kindergartner off and she was crying. That made me a little weepy but once I dropped Sid at pre-school and had 2 1/2 hours to myself I quickly got over it! lol

Tonight Sid has her first gymnastics class and Kerstin is ecstatic to return to dance as she made 4 competition teams for this year!

Sidney Jo! First day of preshcool!

The Fair!

We are all home and resting this morning after 7 days at the fair! This was McKenzie's first year in 4H and she did well on all her projects. One of her market hogs placed 2nd to the grand champion market hog which allowed her to return to the final drive for a chance at reserve grand champion! We are so proud of her and she also did well at the sale yesterday! None of them were even upset when the packer came to load the hogs! She also won a bunny so we have added yet another pet to our family! She showed a lamb and is begging to get a dairy beef feeder along w/ the hogs next spring....we'll see!

Kerstin got sick on the second day along w/ several other kids. She was up and down the entire fair. She managed to get in the 'jumpie thing' a few times, dance w/ her group and LOVED the demo derby last night along w/ the cheer competition Saturday. The older 2 also showed in an open class hog show Tuesday.

Sidney started preschool last week and LOVES it! She also loved every second of the fair!

Monday the older 2 start 1st and 4th grade and Sid has preschool! We also start dance, swim, church and gymnastics next week! So long to my fun, lazy summer days!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hugs and Love-The Davis Fam

LOOK AT ME!!!! I can ride with no training wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family Night out!

Last night we took the girls to a Wizards game! They had a great time!

I'm an Aunt again!

April & JB delivered a healthy baby boy this week! I WISH I could get my hands on him!

We had a fantastic summer weekend!

Friday I took our girls and my two nieces to the Children's zoo and shopping. Everything went well except I lost my patience a few times w/ 5 girls! I'm not sure I could do 5 kids everyday! lol

We also went camping for the weekend and had a family reunion on the Rahrig side! It was great to see all my cousins from Columbus and their kids! Almost everyone came! :-)

Sunday after a morning of swimming we headed home for a combo birthday party for Kerstin (7th) and McKenzie (10th)!!! Thanks Aunt Callie & Allyson for making the yummy cake!

Well....McKenzie is home from 4H camp and LOVED it!!! We surprised her w/ an early bday gift of her own room! We are still moving everyone around into their new spots but she is thrilled!

We had a Saturday wedding! Our first babysitter and sitter for many years - Lindy Stemen (also a 2nd cousin) was married to Eric! The wedding was SO beautiful! McKenzie did the programs and Kerstin and Sid did bubbles! They were honored to be included in her special event! Here's to many years of happiness for Lindy and Eric!

Not too much else happening here! Enjoying our summer and I am heading off to Columbus to the Basket Bee next week! There should be tons of fantastic announcements! I can't wait to see all the new stuff!

We hope everyone had a spectacular 4th of July Holiday!

We spent the weekend camping and relaxing! Last week the girls finished softball for the season and Friday morning I took my aim of being a photographer near one of our wheat fields! The wheat harvest started today!

This week McKenzie heads to 4H camp! She is so excited! Her first time at sleep away camp!

The other girls say they won't miss her but I think they'll be surprised!

Kerstin lost yet another tooth today! She wanted EVERYONE to know!

Much Love to all!

We are having the best summer! Busy as ever and that only get's worse as the girls get older! We enjoyed father's day w/ all the dad's and grandpa's on Sunday!! And yesterday I had Ally & Marissa over to spend some time at the pool! Oh, I almost forget--McKenzie got her braces off too!

So much for her modeling career! lol
