Happy 1st Birthday Sadie Ryan!

Sadie Ryan Mendenhall turned 1 on October 7th....Here she is trying to be sweet for the camera..but, after 5hrs in the car i think all she wants is..CAKE!

Uncle Jason made Sadie's First Birthday cake with lots of love and sweetness...
She wasn't afraid....after one lick she dove right in....as did her cousins....(as you can tell from the cake)!
Oh yeah...cake is good! My daddy said i ate so much sweet stuff at my other birthday party that i got a "sweet sore" on my tongue!
What is this...Birthday Girl Tackle?!
Taylor 9, Ben 2, Sadie 1, Noah 2, and Gracie 3...look out world............
Oh How Taylor loves spending time with her cousins...
Everyone looking but Great-Grandpa, who is trying to console the worn out birthday girl...Thank you Grandpa for hosting yet another Birthday party :-)

Happy Halloweekend at Lake Rudolph in Santa Claus, Indiana

Lake Rudolph in Santa Claus, Indiana...This is where we spent our fall break...We rented an RV, played at the playground, took some hayrides, went to the festival and did some serious trick or treating...These people go all out on Decorations for their sites and their golf carts...
O Funny Jace.....

The forecast was for a tornado..but we knew we were going to have a great weekend when we saw this!




We only had one neighbor and the other side was woods with a great path for the gator, tractor, (mini) four wheeler and bikes!
Aunt Heather decided we needed a fort to entertain the kiddies while the dads played golf! Could we find some trees without the roots??
