Fall in PA

Fall is my favorite time of year hands down. Especially in the east..... the trees out here are GORGEOUS. There are millions of trees everywhere and so that means the fall here is insanely beautiful. They have so many colors and there is one tree here that I absolutely love and luckily I get to drive by one everyday when I go to work. It is a deep coral color and I absolutely love it. I haven't really bought anything for the holidays because I don't really want to haul it all home, so I went to one of those trees and got a big ol pile of leaves.... Cody thought I was weird at first, but I think he warmed up to the idea when he realized what I wanted to do and the leaves were free so it was a win- win for both.

 

This is what I did with the leaves! I put some on the coffee table and I want to scatter some on the entertainment center.

I also made these little ghosts to get into the Halloween spirit

 

 

Our first little pumpkin! I picked this little guy up when I went to the Freddy Hill Farms pumpkin patch with some really great friends from the ward.

 

Me, Morgan and Owen, then Mary and Brylee

They had this cute little farm the kids could go look at all the animals. They loved it!

Owen must have known I was taking a picture he was posing and everything for me

 

Little Brylee

They are some of the cutest kids! I'm glad Morgan and Mary let me hang out with them even though I don't have any kids...

 

And the after math of the owl hat.... We all had a good laugh!

 

Cody and I feel very blessed because we have made some pretty great friends out here. It makes living out here much more enjoyable!

 

 

 

White Coat Ceremony

Last Monday, October 14th, Cody had a White Coat Ceremony! Bascially this is what it sounds. Everyone receives their white coat in the field they are studying, but this isn't the "offical white coat" he will use after he is donewith the program. They use the white coats, they received on Mondy, when they go to the hospital and during their rotations. He will receive his official white coat after he graduates both years of school. And I guess the difference between the two is that his "official white coat" is longer and almost to the knee. Even though this isn't his official white coat he is one step closer to be a PA. I am so proud of him and all the hard work he has put forth in his school. He is doing great and I'm pretty sure he is in the top half of his class. Way to go Cody! We are all so proud of you and how far you have come.

His very own white coat with his name on it and everything!

 

He looks pretty darn good to me... I have a right to say that right!? :)

 

Cody with his biggest fan and cheerleader! I am so proud of him!

 

Cody with some of his buds in the class. He has a great class.

 

Me and a small portion of all the wives. The one in the orange is Mary and the one in blue is Jerrica. They are both in our ward and we love it! I hang out with Mary a lot and she has an adorable little girl, Brylee, that she lets me play with :)

 

Cody's really good friend Tim. They have a really good time together!

 

I thought I would add a picture of the program just in case I ever lose the original.

 

This was actually held in a church right across the street. They held it here so they could accommodate more people.The stage where they go up to get their white coats. Can you see all the white coats on the right??

 

Super bad quality, but the best I could get of Cody's class! He's on the far right... Ya good luck seeing him!

 

The pictures weren't the best, but they are better than nothin'. Cody his half way through his first semester out of three. Can you believe that?? Didn't we just move here?! Keep up the good work Cody we are all rooting for you!
