Halloween

2 weeks before Halloween and we decided to carve pumkins for family night. So we turned on some scary music and started carving. We tried to bake the seeds but it was very late when we got done so I sooked them for a few nights and baked them later in the week. The pumkins ended up dieing before Halloween night so we got 2 more and cute them out a few days before. We had a good time, it just seemed like time went by way too fast.

A week befor Halloween we went to Rich's fright farm, while Louise watched Macy for us. I was the first time we had done anything alone since Macy was born. We ended up taking Aaron with us so he could go with his friends. We had so much fun. I remember taking Aaron and his friend home listening to what they were talking about and listening to what Dan and I were talking about. I realized we sounded so much older as we were talking and wondering how Macy was doing, and they were talking about how much fun they had, had. boy oh boy, i am old when we start sounding like parents. LOL

Halloween came and we all had family pictures done together. Later that night we all went trick or treating. Macy dressed up as a bumble bee (for Jim). She was so cute.

Macy's Blessing

For Macy's blessing the whole family came to church to listen and help out. Dan did such a great job for his first child. It was short, but very sweet and very good. I had tears in my eyes. I was very proud of him. After church we all went to mom's for dinner and to hang out with fam. It was an exciting day for us all.

Macy Elizabeth Amrine

She is finally here! Macy Elizabeth Amrine was born September 12th 2009 at 9:44pm. She was 6 lbs 11onz and 20 inches long. What a cutie! We were worried at first, but, Mother and baby are doing fine now.

Camping Trip

Dan has been having a very stressful and depressing month with work. I decided he needed a break. Dan wanted to go camping to get away from everything. I told him that would be fine with me.
We went to Abrams Creek, which is close to Mt Storm, only an hour and a half from Fairmont. It't not too bad! It has just about all you need to a camp site, just have to bring your things you want. We did forget blankets, and pillows, but made due with the sleeping bags we brought.
We had a blast, except when Rachel had to go to the bathroom 3-4 times in the middle of the night. LOL!!!
We went swimming at the Mt Storm Lake, tried to fish too but never caught anything, played card games, ate nice camping food, and just had a good time.
We are glad to be back where we have a bathroom and a nice bed. LOL!!
