Okay.........this past Wednesday night at Awana it was Bible Hero Night. It was fun to see almost everyone dress up like Mary with baby Jesus! I only took a few pics and a short video clip of our pumpkin song. 
Lita Curtis...........she was Noah I believe........she didn't really say.

And two more of my girls.........Dezirae and Lauren!
Yep, it was Bible Hero Night!
Tiffany Gann and my mom.The Pumpkin Song..........hopefully it will show on the blog. I have never put a video clip here, so let me know if it doesn't work!
I just love carving pumpkins! This year we decided to just do faces. Last year we did paw prints and the Christian fish symbol. Our pumpkins are smaller than we usually get, so we thought this was best! Here are the results............
Deirdre and the pumpkins..............
Me and the pumpkins...........
Which one is mine? Which one is Deirdre's??We just had Deirdre's birthday roller skating party at Paradise Skate (formally Roller Haven to all us old school people). It was fun, loud and tiring!! Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and glad it is all over!!!!! Here are pictures from todays fun!!

And...........the Nintendo DS!Well..............today my little girl hit the double digits! She is now 10 years old! I can't believe she is that old. We gave her the option of going to Olive Garden or seeing the movie "Beverly Hills Chuawa" (I know I must of misspelled it). She chose her favorite..........Olive Garden. She got roller skates and some dinosaur books and $20. Her party is this Saturday at Paradise Skate. So the roller skates will really be used this weekend! Here are a few pictures from today........
Deirdre asked me to make her a cake...............I think it came out very colorful!

Stay tuned for pictures from her party this Saturday! Should be great. Deirdre is looking forward to fun with her friends and family!!!!!!! Happy Birthday my "BIG" girl!!!!! I love you!
This week at our Awana group and at church, we are having a Wall of Honor, It is for those who are serving our country whether it is over in Iraq or here in our own country. This is my friend, Martin Irons, class of 1992 from Antioch High School, fellow Explorer Scout and husband and father of 2. He is over in Iraq fighting for our freedom. However you may feel about the war, I am so proud there are those who are willing to go defend our country's honor. Martin is doing just that. Keep his family and his safety in your prayers................I know they are in mine and my families prayers. Thank you Martin!!
Martin Irons...................over in Iraq.
Just in..........Deirdre 4th grade picture. I love it, she looks so grown up! This has to be one of the best pictures she has taken at school. Before we know it, it will be her senior high school pictures. Oh my............I don't want to think that far ahead! Since she is my only child, this needs to slow down so I can enjoy her more!
Deirdre Suzanne Ferrari...........4th Grade..........Miss Petersen's class........Room 19
It is that time of the year again! Yes...........Apple Hill!!! On Saturday, Oct 4, me, Dan and Deirdre ventured up to Placerville to check it all out. With storm clouds and rain, we still enjoyed it! Deirdre fed goats, got her pumpkins and some apples. I got my fudge (like I needed it) and just enjoyed being with two very special people in my life!
Deirdre visiting her little goat friends in the rain......
I just fell head over heels for this little guy. Is he too cute or what??
What a trooper!!! Picking our her pumpkin in the pouring rain!
We tired her out.............LOL!!!
In the Hay Maze at Abel's Acres............yes in the rain!
Traditional photo...........every year we see how much taller she gets. Looks like she finally hit the 4 foot mark! Woo-hoo!!
Just for fun.........
Now I found this just cute. She did get a little miffed at me cause I didn't get all the cows.
And of course a picture with the horse............before it started to rain!After not seeing one another for quite sometime............Deirdre got a chance to play with Delci and Addy Smith. Their mom, Cheryl, and I have been friends since the 9th grade. You can see their little brother, Jacob, in the side of the picture below. He is a character himself!
Addy, Deirdre, Delci and Jacob................having a blast!
The Smith Family dog............Samantha.
The kids had lots of fun in the hour or so that they had together. They are looking forward to being able to play together again and hopefully for a bit longer!
Most little girls are busy playing with Barbies, baby dolls, frilly dresses and things like that. Not my little girl! Her dream is to team up with Bindi Irwin (daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin) and wrestle croc's and wrangle dangerous snakes! So today after school I got a picture of her and her beloved snakes...........here they are............
Deirdre and her precious snakes...........seems like they keep multiplying!
I am so proud of her and her love for animals and even her love for the dangerous and deadly animals. Steve Irwin would be mighty impressed with this young lady!!
