Halloween 08

We had a great Halloween this year. We met up with the Holbrocks,(Marks Aunt and Uncle, and cousins)around 6:30 and took the kids trick or treating around there neighborhood since its really safe. Kaelyn loved it and of course ran to each house with everyone else. I dont know if Enzo really understood it, but I think he had fun watching all the kids. We were lucky that Marks area to work wasnt to far from us so he was able to join us! Im glad that he was able to share this memory with us. When we made it home I hurried and turned on our outside light to see if we would get any trick or treaters. For some reason I was excited to hand out candy. I guess it comes with living out in the country for a while and never getting anyone because no one wants to go where the houses are so far apart. I had the light on not but 5 mins and I had kids coming up. What the crazy thing was, was that these parents who went with their kids came up to the door with their pillow cases. I couldnt believe it. They seriously would come up to the door and tell me trick or treat. It was crazy. After I got more then a few adult parents doing that, I couldnt handle it anymore and I gave one of the kids the rest of my bowl. I could not believe it. I guess I will just stick to taking the kids for now on.

A new Cosentino

This last week Holly and Nick had their baby Lily Alera and we were lucky enough to go visit since Mark had his days off at the same time. It was a quick trip but a lot of fun! We are so happy for them and Lily is so beautiful!

Happy Harvest!

Last Saturday I wanted to keep busy while Mark slept so I decided to take the kids to get pumpkins at the pumpkin patch by our house. We had so much fun and the kids loved running around and looking at all of the different pumpkins. Now that Enzo is getting older, their differences are coming out more. Kaelyn loved the little pumpkins and wanted a small pumpking, while Enzo kept running to the biggest one he could find. He kept looking at me and saying "this?" Im glad that hes still young enough where I could just grap one and he would be happy. I can only imagine how much the HUGE pumpkins would be. We ended up getting 4 pumpkins, 1 for each of our family members. While we were checking out, Kaelyn brought over another pumpkin that she liked to show me and the owner gave it to us. So now we have 5 pumpkins that we need to do something with. Im waiting for the perfect time to carve them, but Im sure their will be a post about it soon!

Our fun Week

This last week we made another trip up North to celebrate my birthday and hang out with family and friends. Friday we celebrated Ashleys and my birthday and went out to lunch with our really good friend Heather. It was a blast. Later that night Mark and I hung out with Gino and Shannon and took the Hot Rods out for a nice drive and dinner. It was so much fun talking and just hanging out. Saturday for my birthday Shannon and I went to see Anna,(My beautiful sis-n-law) for a pedicure and haircut. Later that night we enjoyed hanging out after Shannon worked and went to see Lakeview Terrace. It has been so long since Mark and I have seen a movie together at the theater, and I cant believe how expensive it is now. But it was a good movie. For the next few days we visited friends and more family, and had so much fun. We were lucky that Nick had a few days off while we were in town and so it was nice hanging out with them also. Holly is due with their first baby in 3 weeks so next time we see them they will be parents. How exciting.
Since we have been home we have been really exhausted but were ready to get back to normal life. Mark will start 12 hour shifts tomorrow so its going to be an interesting week. We are so grateful for all of our friends and family members who have been so awesome to us while we have been away and while we visit, and we hope to be able to visit with our friends we werent able to hang out with this time next time we are up!

Enzo learned a new word today

A little update

It has been awhile since we updated what has been going on with our family. Some of you knew that Mark had his transfer in to try to get closer to home. We have found out this week that Mark wasnt able to get it. Which is fine. We are putting 100% on the Lord to see what is supposed to happen next. Of course we miss our family and friends, but know that for now we are supposed to be here.
Mark is going to be starting 12 hour shifts next month which is actually kind of exciting. With Marks new schedule he will be working 3 days and then having 4 days off. We have been talking a lot about fun things we will be able to do as a family, and it will also be easier to come and visit up North.
A week ago My mom and Ashley were able to come visit. We had fun shopping, going to the zoo, and watching the kids playing together. Enzo had a lot of fun playing with Isaiah and loved calling after him around the house. I wish I had taken more pictures of them!
