Happy Birthday Grandma Judy!!

Since we were farming on Tuesday we celebrated by getting KFC and cheesecake for Judy's Bday! Donna got her some pretty flowers and we had a nice evening!

Also a few pics from Halloween in Middle Point with Great Grandma Norma and beautiful Josie Jean!

Thoughts for Thursday......

Congrats to Scott who has been elected to a 4 year term as Ridge Township Trustee! I know he will do an amazing job!

We have been very busy at our house. School, dance, band, cheer starting next week and harvest! It's starting to get colder here and I really dread it! YUCK!
Scott and I are going to FL next Friday w/ a handful of great friends for a fun weekend! I am wishing now we were staying longer! It's going to be a long winter!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY next week to our nephew PAYTON!!!! Wishing so much they lived a little closer so we could celebrate!

Love to all.......
The Davis Fam

Don't forget to VOTE! Tuesday, Nov.3rd!! Ridge Township Residents vote at Middle Point Community Building!!! Elect SCOTT DAVIS - Ridge Township Trustee!
Here is my hubby! Hard working as always! Here is why a vote for Scott is a good choice!

• 10 years caretaker Ridge cemetery.
• Projects so far as trustee: Boroff Rd. drainage project, chip & seal township roads.
• Experience dealing with heavy equipment and repair makes him knowledgeable about some of the Stone Quarry operations.
• Honest, hardworking and ethical!
• Willing to spend as much time needed to make sure Ridge Township residents opinions matter!

Scott is a trusted, experienced choice! Please take time to make your vote count Tuesday! ;0

McKenzie spent a lot of time 'thinking' about how to carve her pumpkin!

Thoughts for Thursday!

I am loving this beautiful fall morning.
So many vibrant colors outside! I have been spending my days in the tractor doing my best to help Scott & everyone! I'm sure I"m not the best help but I work for free so that helps!

I love my girls! When did they get so grown up??

~Thoughts on Thursday~
Sometimes simple things become complicated & stressful.

• Trying to protect our children from viruses and things beyond our control.
• Finding balance is the chaos of life.
• Giving your kids the best possible start.
• Playing fair.
• Folding laundry.
• Living in such a cold place when your sister lives where it's warm?
• Keeping it simple!

I wonder if the issues on my mind today will matter 5 years from now or how much the decisions we make today will impact our lives in the future. I guess we have to be eternally thankful for the blessings we have been given. Pray for those who need protected and leave the rest in Gods hands.

Kerstin had her first soccer game today! It was windy and cold but she had a great time! The other problem is they combined several age groups so she actually played w/ some 14 year olds! For those of you who can't remember...she is 8!

It took several tries but we managed to get one decent shot of the kid-o's!

And one with my parents! What a great visit we had with April and the boys! We miss them so much already!

SO....cute! Waiting patiently for his ride in the combine!

I would also like to ask you all to pray for Travis Osting. Trav is a family friend and is battling a rare condition right now. My heart is heavy for his family and loved ones.

Day at the Zoo with my parents and Sister & Boys.
Kerstin didn't want to participate in this photo.

First ride in the Ranger!

Fair 2009!

Tons of fun!

McKenzie did well showing her pigs and enjoyed time w/ her friends!

The other girls also showed in an open show on Tuesday! After 8 days living in our camper we were happy to be home.

My sister also came to visit during and we have been enjoying lots of time w/ family!

First Day of School!!! They lucked out and didn't have to ride the bus since the Road is still closed! We drove them today and I ended up taking Sidney to her classroom!

Sid started kindergarten today and was very excited and a little nervous!

Kerstin was sad summer break was over and started 2nd grade w/ a sub since Liz just had her baby!

McKenzie 5th grade! =)

And one shot from our trip to the Airforce Museum on Friday.

This update is mostly about my Sider Jo! How can she already be going to school next week! EVERYDAY!! OMG! I am so worried about her. She is not a good sleeper. It takes a couple hours to get her down for the night and when she is finally down she ends up in our room 3+ times a night and I either take her back upstairs or roll her onto our floor! A few weeks ago she was stirring around about midnight while I was watching HGTV when I looked at the floor and saw her asleep....like this! She stayed like this for about 10 min.'s before I decided to move her hands!

Here she is learning to drive the 4 wheeler by herself. She almost threw her Daddy off a few times!

Painting fence posts w/ Gpa Roger. This is how they are earning money for the fair!

A Fun Sunday! We spent the day taking the girls out to lunch and for a drive along the Celina Lake! It was fun!! Then it was off for ice cream and to Grandma Ginger's for time with some of our cousins, dinner and then the girls finished the boat they made and set it to sail on the pond! FUN!!!!

Scott and I also went golfing this weekend! It was fun too but HOT! I will try to post those photos later!
