What Year Do You Belong In?

You Belong in 1983

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

Pumpkin Patch Fun

The Ricker Gang enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at a local farm searching for pumpkins. The children enjoyed themselves in a corn maze, straw maze, looking at all the animals, and climbing the piles of straw bales. The best part was the hay ride to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins. The only rule we gave the children is they had to be able to carry it all by themselves. It was a great afternoon with everyone finding the "just right" pumpkin for them.

Thursday is all art day in school with carving the pumpkins before a night of trick-or-treating. The children are counting down the days for all that candy. I remember the anticipation of Halloween as a child. I love reliving these moments with my children.

Happy Halloween!!

Vacation, Sickness, Catch-up!

We enjoyed a wonderful road trip to South Dakota. Camping in the wonderful Black Hills and enjoying the peace and quite that surrounded us.

As soon as we returned I got hit with a Sinus Infections that quickly turned into a double ear infection. I ended up with two weeks of two different antibiotics. I enjoyed about 3 weeks of part or no hearing. The kids enjoyed having a couple more weeks off of school.

I am still trying to play catch-up with the house, school, church calling, etc...

I will try and post more later but for now I will post a few pictures from our trip.
