Planning a trip to WDW?

Just to clarify... we are not planning a trip to WDW anytime soon (bummer, I know). However, my old college program roommate is! She started a blog dedicated to all things Disney. She has been writing every day about a new part of planning your future Disney Vacation. I think she has done a GREAT job of informing her readers about how to plan a Disney Vacation that suits their family! So here's my shout out to Roe! Check out her blog! It's the Disney Point on "My blog list" or you can click this link to take you to her site!

She will be posting from WDW while they are there. I'll be living vicariously through her vacation, and you can too! :)

Crazy Halloween

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to take all these little kiddos trick-or-treating at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We took their costumes with us, and let me say... there is never a dull moment with the Fulkerson bunch! BIG THANKS to Grandpa Van for taking so many pictures! He does an amazing job capturing all the fun! Here's a "few" pictures :)

LOVE this silly boy!

Brothers, Tim, Mike (Daddy), and Mark
 When we left the funeral, we picked up these two strangers...




I think they came in the same tour bus

did I mention they live in a farm?

Mike's cousin, Michelle and her daughter Breanna. She didn't like the costume changes.

Auntie with Bailes

She's happy now :)

Mike's cousin Brenda.

Micah looks like he's asking Leah, "what are you supposed to be?"

a chick!

Luke is a silly pumpkin

Carter is a pirate! "ARG Mickey" he kept saying. (arg matey)

Grandpa and Grandma Van with our parrot and pirate

their Grandmas :)
our trick or treating group. What you don't see are the 10 people take the same shot. (Aunt Megan, if you have a picture of that, I would love a copy. Thanks)

This is my FAVORITE picture!!! They were so excited to get candy!

They look like "Angry birds" lol

Daddy?

The silly hair costume makes its way around

even the people handing out candy dressed up :)

AWESOME costume!!! Does it come in my size???

It was CRAZY!!! There were so many people!
 We were in a "prime" location for trick-or-treating. People had buckets or laundry baskets full of candy!
We would ask the kids after they received their candy, "What do you say?" Luke said, "It's my favorite color!!" The guy handing it out says, "Alright!"

Krista and Carter

our tick-or-treating group, there was probably 20 of us

It was the FASTEST trip up north, but it was totally worth every minute!!! Oh, I cannot wait until Christmas!!!!!

Family Gathering in Alma

When we arrived to Michigan, we got to see all our cousins. Getting together because of a funeral isn't the best circumstance, but we have a peace knowing that Great Grandma is in Heaven with Jesus.

Great Grandma loved God and loved her family more than anything. She had a great sense of humor, and was so talented with music, in the kitchen, and with a needle and thread. I'm so thankful that we were able to see her on our trips to Michigan. It was so exciting to her to see her Great grandchildren.

These are pictures from our time in Alma. Never a dull moment when you're with the Fulkerson's. :)


Cousins! Jacob and Leah (1), Luke and Kaitlyn (3)


cousins, aunts, and uncles, Oh my!
