Oh my goodness I have so much to blog about it is intimidating! Let me show you what we’ve been up to with pictures.

Went on a beautiful hike.

Taught Hallie how to drive.


Went to Mount Vernon and saw George Washington’s Grist Mill and distillery.


Volunteered and attended a church exchange. It was HUGE!! It opened up @9 am Saturday morning. I got there @ 8:15 and there was already a line outside the doors. It was pretty much a mormon black friday event!!!! We got these items: lots of books, Home schooling phonics kit, scriptures movies and regular movies, walker/bike toy for Hallie, rollerblades for Ben and I (2 sets), a jogging stroller, and a toaster oven. I’d say we scored big time!! The best part- it was all FREE!!


Carved Pumpkins.

Cooked Pumpkin. (Don’t mind the date on the baggies. I was jumping a month ahead when I labeled them.) Opps!

Went to Cox farms and had the time of our life. (Although Hallie doesn’t look like it in this picture. She wanted to go play instead of stop and pose for a picture.) I have soooo many photos to post from this that I will have to do a whole other blog post just for Cox Farms.



Went to a fabulous little kid Halloween party. I made Hallie’s costume. It is the fill in until the one my mom made gets here for the ward trunk or treat.
P.S. It is almost impossible to get a good picture of a busy 14 1/2 month old. She seriously NEVER stops! I took like a million pictures trying to get her face and her costume. Alas, I failed!!

Bundled up and went running with our new stroller!

And last but not least we are enjoying a Virginia Fall!
Such cute pictures! I love all the fun activities during fall! I’m sure Hallie is a very busy little girl, Abby is the same way still! Your family is so cute!
great pictures Brit! Looks like you guys made out at the exchange. cant wait to see more pictures from Cox farms.
Wow! You guys have kept busy. I just did a photo shoot of Brooklynn in her Halloween costume, and I 100% agree it’s impossible to get them to sit still. All I want is one cute one of her smiling up at the camera…ha ha…gotta love these busy girls. Hey, how long will you guys be in VA? Nice work on all that free stuff.
Ok looking at your pics TOTALLY makes me miss the East in the fall! Love it! Church exchange what the? I think I have heard of that, but why have I never participated? Did you take things to exchange? Sounds like you got tons of goods!
Hey Lady,
I saw you jogging yesterday AM down Cardinal. Looked like you’re still running strong. You’re not far from me. Jog over my way, we’d love to see you guys.
Loved your pics
I love how busy you are! Most “stay-at-home moms” don’t have half the fun that you do! You totally inspire me Rom:)
Hallie is pretty stinkin cute! I am sure she loves you to pieces! Being a mom is wonderful huh?!
