Autumn at Big Cedar Lodge, Halloween, and Exciting News!

Hello! I did not mean my big hello almost a year ago to be a big goodbye! :) This has been a busy year, but I have a lot to share and some exciting news! I will start with our trip we took to Big Cedar Lodge a couple weeks ago with my mother, my sister, our children, and grandmother. For anyone who does not know what Big Cedar Lodge is, it is a resort owned by Bass Pro Shops, that is located just outside Branson, MO., nestled in the Ozark mountains on Table Rock Lake. It is a very beautiful place, we always have such a relaxing and fun time at Big Cedar Lodge. My children never want to go home when we are there. It really is a special place and I am glad they will have some fond childhood memories from there. Yes, there are a lot of pictures, but I just could not leave any out. :) Autumn is a beautiful season in the Ozark mountains!

I LOVED this display, the horses were made out of cornhusks and straw, so neat!

And now for Halloween! We really had a fun Halloween this year, my sister was here visiting with her children. And after all the rain we have had this month, the weather cleared up and was perfect, crisp, clear, and with a bright moon! We started our day trick or treating on the old main street in the town we live in. Here are my Bionicle boy Patriot, and fairy witch Samantha.

Later that day we met with our next door neighbors at sunset to load up for the big night. Our neighbors have a Bobcat they drive the kids around the neighborhood in on Halloween. It really is fun for them. We are so blessed to have such wonderful neighbors.

And now for the exciting news!! I found out a couple weeks ago, that Country Sampler Magazine

will be coming to our home to do a Fall photo shoot! I am very excited, since this is really a dream come true! I am also very excited to be doing a fall shoot, since it is one of my most favorite times of the year. They will be coming next week, so I am sure I will be busy cleaning and fluffing things for the next week, and having a few freak out moments in between. :)

Please say a prayer for my family. He,he,he.

AND another very exciting thing is that my sister, Janae, from Cozy Coops Corner, is in the current Christmas issue of Country Sampler Magazine! If you have not seen her beautiful home or the magazine yet, stop by her blog for a peek.

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween, I will be back next week with some pictures of the photo shoot, and a sneek peek of my new bedroom!

God Bless,
