SAYING GOODBYE

ITS THE HARDEST THING TO DO, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH ALL OUR GERMAN GIRLS, BUT I THINK LARISSA WAS THE CLOSEST TO US. SHE HAD SUCH A GREAT HEART WITH US, SHE LOVED US. WE WILL MISS HER ALOT. SHE SAID SHE WILL BE BACK, HER DAD IS A DENTIST SO I KNOW SHE WILL.

I KNOW MACIE WILL MISS LARISSA THE MOST , SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH HER, AND I KNOW LARISSA WILL MISS MACIE LOTS, SHE REALLY LOVES HER.

OLIVIA TURNED 18 ON SAT. THIS WAS HER CAKE, IT WAS SO CUTE SHE TOOK THE EYEBALLS AND THE FINGERS BACK TO GERMANY WITH HER. IT WAS FUN TO HAVE A PARTY FOR HER WHILE SHE WAS HERE.

OFF TO THE AIRPORT, WOW WE WERE CROWDED. AUNT BET IS NEXT TO BRITT IN THE FRONT, AND OLIVIA BY LARISSA IN THE BACK OF THE TRAIL BLAZER, WE ALL NEEDED TO GO WITH THEM TO SAY GOODBYE.

I'M GLAD STEVEN SAID GOOD BYE TO LARISSA, I'M SURE SHE WILL MISS HIM THE MOST.

HAVING TO LEAVE US NOW, WE ARE ALL CRYING.

WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU, YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER, MAYBE SOMEDAY WE CAN SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. LOVE TO ALL.

Snow in October

Olivia, Marina, and Larissa, loved playing in the snow, I'm glad I had snow suits for all of them.

Halloween ? Ya right, crazy weather, they have seen it all, while they were here, hot, rain and now snow.

Brox is running away from the snow ball fight, of course he started it.

We went up to the ranch, and Curt, the wonderful brother he is, showed the girls how to ride 4 wheelers, and horses, marinna rode the mule and loved it. thanks curt your great, they had the best time yet.
