Just call me Tonya the Plumber......yesterday I bought a bottle of "DrainO"  and fixed the bathroom sink drain slicker than a whistle. 

I am excited....we are headed to "Amish Country"....aka Lancaster for Thanksgiving one week from today.  We get to see a little bit of everybody on both sides of the family this year.

Jackson wanted a cowboy birthday party this year....I'm not sure where the thought came from.  They had lots of fun.

Here's the city slicker cowboy in person.  We had hot dogs (couldn't quite pull off a campfire in the church basement) baked beans, potato salad, rice, party mix and an ice cream cake. 

Little sis Jill....thank God she is getting over her sickness.  She has an ear infection in both ears, a possible sinus infection and an infection in her left eye.  This week is going much better that last week!

All 12? of them....I lost track after awhile....notice the shortage of girls.  Eve B. and Sara N. were the lucky 2!

This cutie stole the show...K. Mast

What do you think of these cowboys? 

E. Barnhart can hold her own when it comes to picking up candy from the pinata!  Jill doesn't have a clue.

Here's Jackson on the morning of his birthday with his presents.

One day I told Jill to climb in this little container and say "cheese" and she did just that.  Sometimes I can't believe how much she understands!

Have a good day!
