Here is our new Hot Tub. We had a blast this Thanksgiving with Mike and Kirsty. We were in it every night!!! The kids also had a blast getting in it. Scott and I love the hot tub. Early Christmas present for us. 

Thanksgiving 2006--Yes, the Wertz Family came this year. They sponsored an Exchange Student from Germany, Tatijana. She is very sweet and it was a joy to have here with us. A few pictures of the wonderful time spent with our friends. As you can see, the Euker tournament continued.......the women were the champs this year!!!!!! 

My crazy husband cleaning the gutters this fall. Also, I included a couple of pictures of the water damage that we had when we ripped up the floor in the kitchen before the new hardwood floor was to be installed 

Belive it or not, it wasn't easy getting Mitchell inside to open his gifts! The boy's wanted to stay outside and keep on playing airsoft guns.  

What is happening on our deck? Mitchell had his 13th Birthday Party with a bunch of his buddies. They had a blast playing airsoft guns out in our woods. They shot at targets and each other! LOL
It was a great day and the boys had so much fun. Easiest B-day party I've ever had! 

Mitchell did go out. He didn't want to dress-up, but we told him he had to. So this is what he came up with! It is hard to see the house all decorated, but it did look pretty cool. Here is a group of kids in the neighborhood. 

Jessica had a few of her friends over for a halloween party. They ate donuts and drank cider. Then it was time to get all dolled up before the big night of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. They all look good don't they? 

Rachel looks to cute to be a witch!!! She decided to be a Gothic Purple Witch. Doesn't that tatoo on her face look cool? She had to go to school the next day with the tatoo still on her face. It was very hard getting it off her face, but a couple days later we finally got it all off. 

Mitchell celebrating his 13th Birthday. I know, it is hard to see his face. He wouldn't let me give him a haircut!!!!!!!! 

It's that time again. The festivities have started with the annual pumpkin carvings. Mitchell always seems to miss this part!
