Halloween 2011

So this year of course we went to Pence Halloween Party and had a good ole time bobbin for apples and getting candy from Ryan and Kristie's Pinata. We then went to the trunk or treat for our ward and got some candy fast which was nice, because it got really cold Halloween night. Easton is a Dragon/Dinosaur whatever, little monster. He had a good grawl to go with the outfit.

Izabel showing off her candy. She was a pretty sparkly fairy, She made the outfit with her Aunt Kristie and Elly! Thanks Kristie!

Ford my Super Hero! He takes the funnest pictures lately!

At the trunk or treat with Dad. This video below cracks me up, Layla my niece put on a show hitting the pinata, her personality is one of kind and I love it! Hope everyone had a candy filled Halloween!!!

Benson Adam Zickgraf

Here is Benson! Number 4 in the Zickgraf Family! He was born October 8th at 2:06 in the afternoon at the Baby Place in Meridian, Id.

Benson weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches long. He is long and lean like his dad!

The proud new parents of 4 kids! Here we go babe, I love YOU!

Grandma June! What would I do without her! She is amazing as many know, but to me she made my birth and life so much smoother. Mom words can't express my gratitude for all you have done for me through this pregnancy, labor, delivery, postpardom support and so much more I know you will do for me! Thank you a million times over! You are the BEST MOM Ever!

I LOVE YOU and are SO GRATEFUL YOU ARE MY MOM!

Here are the kids meeting Benson for the first time!

Izabel was a little disappointed to hear she got another brother, but as you can tell when she met him she loved him instantly.

Ford looks so sweet, what I imagine Adam would look like holding one of his little brothers at this age.

Easton is now a big brother! He is taken on the roll really well. He will sit and hold Benson for a long while on the couch, seriously like 15 to 20 minutes just holding him, so cute.

All four of my kiddos, ready or not here I go being a mother of 4!

Our Family of 6!

Sending out much love to all family and friends that are far away, wishing you could come and meet our new little boy!

Boys Hard at Work

So Adam, Uncle Jay, and Uncle Carson have been getting some wood for the winter and the boys had to get in on the action helping stack and move the wood. Ford the Hard Worker, He amazed me, he moved a lot of wood this little boy! See the focus on this kids face! He loves to work, especially with his dad and little brother.

Here is Ford's right hand man helping out too.

Tesla came over too and played with Izabel, they had a lot of fun watching and helping out too. That is when they could get a wheelbarrow.

Harvest 2011

It is harvest season! It is almost baby season for us too. Here I am at 36 weeks, belly is really sticking out there now! Feeling good, Adam is home now and I am getting into my nesting stage cleaning everything. I am getting excited to meet this little one that moves around so much!
We dug up all of our potatoes that the kids and I planted. We planted yukon golds, which are so tasty and get really big, they are like big golden nuggets! Here is Ford showing off the potato he found and a worm!

Easton pitching in to help, this kids is growing up so fast! We are working on potty training right now and he is learning 3 words a day it seems. This kid must know his got to grow up before number 4 comes.

Izabel with a really big potato, bigger than her head. We need to have a big french fry feast!

Love digging up Potatoes!

Here are the boys helping me pick corn, tomatoes and zucchini, we had a pretty good harvest this year. The corn was by far the best!

My kids love Corn!

Just me and the boys at home right now, my Izabel is gone everyday at school for 1st grade, I miss her. But the boys keep me busy and on my toes. Sending out much love to all the family, and friends. Hope everyone is having a great harvest season!

Blackhurst Reunion 2011 Cascade, Idaho!

Action shots playing Corn Whole. This is a way fun game!
Summer showing off her skills.

Riley showing off his skills.

Mom and Jenelle getting to play too. I love Evan there getting the sacks out, the kids had to be part of the fun too.

I love this picture of Kristie and Izabel, they both look so pretty. Izabel wants to take care of teeth just like her Aunt Kristie.

So here are some picture of a high mountain hike that we all took. It was gorgeous omitting all of the mosquitoes we encountered. The scenery was breath taking, so lush with many wild flowers. Ford scratching his head to demonstrate the attack of the mosquitoes.

It was awesome how our entire family made it there and back to the lake! The little ones did great and everyone pitched in getting everyone back, like Kaisley falling asleep on Brian's shoulders on the way back.

Almost to the lake, beautiful.

Here is the beautiful pristine mountain lake. I can not believe Ford jumped into this freezing cold water, it was pretty high up too. He is so trusting, you see him cover his eyes as he is jumping into the water to uncle Ryan. I am not the best video taker, so sorry.
We love our thrill seeker Ford!

4th of July in Soda Springs!

Volleyball out in the pasture, the horses were so curious. Only at the ranch can you find volleyball and horses in the same picture!

Wanting to get a closer look.

Even closer, they are the line judges! Chad had to shew them off they were getting so close. Silly horses!

Action Shots, Micaela spiking it on Adam.

Lincoln coming in to do an awesome block!

Silly shot of Weston, he is crazy athletic this picture does not do him justice.

Riding in the good ole' woogy, Love the hair flying in the air.

Dad and Easton driving the woogy!

Everyone has to pile in, it is a tradition!

Always love the ranch, it was another fun 4th of July sending much Love to Harris side of the Family, hope you all are well!

Expecting Number 4!

Here is the first picture of our 4th child at 20 weeks old. These kind of pictures are a little freaky lookin but I love seeing the little arms, legs and face. Any guesses on whether it is a boy or a girl? Can anyone tell? Maybe Uncle Derek? This next picture is for you Jenelle...

Here is the belly at 22weeks. I am feeling good now, not nearly as sick. My energy has picked up which is good timing for working in my garden. I am enjoying feeling the baby move now especially at night when I am relaxing. I do enjoy being pregnant and look forward to meeting the new little person inside me.

Weenie Roast 2011

We all headed up to Arrow Rock Dam to have a weenie roast while Grandma Mary and Grandpa Andy were in town. It was so nice to get out in nature with the family.

Here are my kiddos roasting their very own, Ford and Izabel did a great job, Easton on the other hand burnt his to a crisp and dropped it a lot.


How many hot dogs and people can we fit around such a little fire? A lot and they all turned out good amazingly.

Thanks Uncle Brian for helping Easton at the second attempt.

Easton insisted on roasting his own marshmallow too.

Really concentrating and trying hard to make it work.

I think he has realized it is just not going to work out this time.

Here we all are looking at the Dam and where Grandma June grew up. It sure was green and beautiful up there and so nice to get outside with everyone and enjoy the spring air.

It was a great ole' weenie roast, kids running off exploring, hot dogs, marshmallows, catching up, singing a little, hearing old stories around the fire and just enjoying this fun time of year.
