Pancake Breakfast


After many months of working Saturdays, Chad finally had a true Saturday off. We decided to go to the Family Homestyle Cafe for giant pancakes. The boys had to split one...and we all split the other one.



Tate was here on a break from school, and this was his last day. Another good reason to celebrate with a giant pancake.


Quinn was right in the middle of his finals week, but decided he could join us for breakfast.

Congratulations Brett & Krystle!


After a year of dating, my brother Brett, just got engaged to Krystle! Yea! We are excited to have a new sister-in-law and the hope of some Montgomery cousins one day? Since you guys take some cute pictures, I thought I'd post some potential engagement shots...

Krystle is just taking in Brett's wisdom.

Halloween


Although we are a few month behind on this, I still wanted to get pictures of Halloween up. The boys had a few Halloween events before Oct. 31st, so they got plenty of time in their costumes. Colin even got time in both costumes he was debating between (jet pilot and police). I was glad he wore the jet pilot because it had some of Chad's army patches sewn on.


At the Mariposa School Carnival. Blake later got sick and threw up in the middle of the food court. Classic Halloween moment.


We did a "trial run" trick-or-treat at Quinn and Cassie's.

SWAT team member, Blake, doing a search on Uncle Quinn. Blake told everyone he was going to be a "swat" for Halloween. I'm still not sure he knows what a SWAT team member does, but his costume had all these cool accessories so he was happy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had such a nice Thanksgiving, and for the first time we didn't have to drive far. We had dinner at my parents house, and all my brothers were there. Even Tate who unexpectedly got a early flight home and even made it for dinner.

Chad and Baby Avery. She was such a good baby all day. She was passed around and hardly made a peep.


Colin ready for dinner...although he told me later that he only ate two bites of corn, a roll, and pumpkin pie. I was too busy with notice, but this probably had something to do with the meltdown he had at the end of the day.

Off and running...or walking?

So here's the start of my blogging. It seems intimidating to start a blog, only because I'm not sure how much I'll keep it up. Hopefully I'll be able to get the swing of it and it won't seem so bad.
