Pumpkins and Leaves!

Just a sampling of what is to come . . . the trees are still FULL of leaves!

Grandpa and Grandma Anderson came to visit this past weekend. Perfect time to carve pumpkins when Grandpa is in town to help!

Fall Break

This year for fall break we had the opportunity (thanks to Grandma Joyce and Gil) to go to Yellowstone! It was a Gierisch reunion! The kids would have been completely happy staying at the cabin for a week! We stayed the first night in Burley with Grandma and then headed to Yellowstone.


Joycie's turn to have HER picture taken!! I think this is the only picture I got of "adults."


The highlight of every "camp" experience (cabin is my kind of camping!) is the fire!!



Can't find the boys?

Landon is Rett's idol!

On our drive through Yellowstone this is what we came across on the side of the road! There was also elk, but I really wished we could have seen bears for the full experience!

The last stop on our Yellowstone trail -- Old Faithful! What a great trip! This may become tradition!

We Did It!

Yeah - yeah, we did it!! Rett has finally decided he is ready to be a "big boy" and not wear any more diapers!! What a happy day! The last potty training I will ever do! WOO- HOO!! It did take buying a couple of different pair of underwear before we found the right character who would help get the job done. Thanks CARS!
