Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!! We hope everyone had a spooky Halloween. We sure did. Jacob was Anikin Skywalker, MaKayla was a witch, and Abigail was a BYU Cheerleader. Aren't they scarry?

I'm not Abigail, I'm Crabby Abby!

This is our adorable Crabby Abby. Whenever you say your beautiful or your my little girl, she says no I'm not, I'm Crabby Abby. She seriously thinks her name is Crabby Abby. Believe me she lives up to her name. Not as much now as when she was an infant but the name has somehow stuck. Here are all the goofy faces of Crabby Abby.

Zoo Field Trip

Jacob and MaKayla had a field trip to the local Zoo. The Zoo is very small. You can see all of the animals in about an hour. The morning of the trip it started to rain and didn't stop till about 1/2 hour before we left. We were all pretty wet, but had a fun time.

Pumpkinfest

This is Pumpkinfest in Zeeland,MI. They have a petting farm, games for kids, and a parade. We spent most of our time at the petting farm. MaKayla and Jacob love animals and just can't get enough of them. Even though we have 10 rabbits in our back yard they had to hold all of the rabbits.

Time Out In Heaven

This was just outside of the 1st hotel lobby.

What a dump!

This is the lobby of the Conrad Hotel.

Amazing!

We were all so amazed at how beautiful the

rooms we were all very giddy.

We all went to dinner at P.F. Changs, Danielle

and her mother-in-law and 2 friends joined

us we all ordered something different and

shared. It was delicious!

In Sept a bunch of the Sisters in our ward had planned to go to the Deseret Book Time Out For Women Conference in Indianapolis. Two days before the conference I received an invitation to go with them. They had 2 extra tickets and so I called my cousin Danielle who lives just outside of Indianapolis and she was already going but wanted to get together seeing that we hadn't seen each other in 4 years. We got to our hotel and it was HELL. We inspected our room before we made a final decision and the room was awful. It was across the street from the jail and across the opposite way from a building where the homeless used to live. I called Danielle because her husband worked at a 5 star hotel there and he got us 2 gorgeous rooms. It was HEAVEN. The other Sisters were all so happy that they had invited me. We had a great time in Indianapolis. The conference was amazing and our group of ladies were so much fun to be with. We have decided to make this a yearly trip. Thanks to Danielle and Justin for getting us the amazing hotel room. We will forever be in your debt.

Isn't She ADORABLE?

I'm talking about MaKayla. We were enjoying another beautiful day in Michigan. It has been between 70-80 degrees for about 3 days now and it is only going to get hotter, we are loving it. The baby bunnies are 3 weeks old now and are so much fun. We are still looking for homes for these cute little things so if anyone want to love a cute, cuddly, fuzzy, warm baby bunny, you know who to ask.

I just can't get enough

While we were in Utah, Zach and his brother Rob took off to go fishing in British Columbia again.

Here is a slide show of his pictures.

Want an Apple?

It is apple season so we decided to go apple pickin'. Jacob and MaKayla were in school so Zach, Abigail and I went to Crane Orchards on Thursday and picked apples. To our surprise all of the apple trees where only about 6-7 feet tall. We didn't even have to use ladders. Abigail had so much fun. I think she bit into every apple she picked. I felt bad that Jacob and MaKayla missed out on all the fun so Saturday we went back and also took Ryan (Zach's brother) and Morgan (Ryan's 2 &1/2 yr. old) The kids had a great time.

New Babies!!

Friday morning we woke up to find 11 new baby bunnies. If our calculations are correct she got pregnant either right before or after we got home from our trip to Utah were not sure which. If it happened before we got home we have the neighbor kids to blame, if it happened after we got home well then it was MaKayla and Jacob. Either way we have alot of homes to find in about 2 months. Two of the babies have died since birth leaving 9 babies to raise. The kids are of course loving it. They check on them all the time and want to hold them so bad. I already have my favorite. It is a black runt. It is the cutest thing. It is about half the size of the rest. I think we will be keeping that one if it survives. They all seem to be doing really well and the momma bunny is a great mom. If anyone wants a bunny you know where to go.

Back to School

Monday was Jacob and MaKayla's first day in the 1st grade. They were so excited to go and see all their friends from Kindergarden. Abigail wanted to go with them. She also wanted her picture taken too. She asked me all day "Where's Jacob and Lala."

Utah

The MacPherson Family left for Utah on Mon., July 23rd at 10pm and arrived at Mom and Dad's at about 7pm Tues. Mom and Dad were not expecting us till Wed evening, but we decided to surprise them. We had such a great time. We went camping, fishing, four-wheeling, swimming, shopping, we did it all. At least almost all. We visited Temple Square and got to see Zach's brothers Rob and Jay and their families. It was wonderful to see all my family and I really appreciated all those who took the time to come see us while we were there. We told my parents that since they hadn't had much rain that we would bring some with them. Well the MacPherson's deliver.

Yes, We are still alive.

It has been a while since I updated our blog and since we have so much family all over the world now, I thought that I had better get it going again. We have had a busy summer. I was busy in the yard, making it beautiful. Zach told me that I was addicted to my yard. He was right. Every spare minute I had I was outside planting flowers or digging up grass to make new flower beds.

We have really enjoyed having a house and the kids have made some great friends. We love having the association park practically in our back yard. The kids have been out there almost all summer. We had the chance to finally go camping in Michigan. Yes there are some beautiful camping areas in Michigan. The kids had a great time. They especially like going to the drive-in movie theater that was in this little town near where we camped. We also had the chance to go to Virginia Beach, Ohio, Illinois, and Utah this summer.
