Fall Happenings....

We've been busy this fall! We enjoyed carving pumpkins. Gauge wanted to keep relighting them all the time! Scott took Victoria deer hunting near Grand Junction and they got one!

We have had three snow days off of school already. Love that 5:30 am call...

I have a choir at school with almost 40 students. We went on a field trip to Metro State College, and the professor worked with us. We got to sing in a nice concert hall, then hear their choirs. We had a fun time- I miss that college music atmosphere. It was a success- we only had one kid pass out :)

Our Little Scientist

Anastasha won the "Einstein Award" at the Strasburg Elementary science fair! She got her idea from Emily, who almost went to Washington DC with that experiment.

Way to go, Anastasha!

Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween! Gauge was "a army," Victoria a 50's girl, and Anastasha a girly pirate. Scott and I were Axl Rose and Slash from Guns n' Roses- Welcome to the jungle, sweet child of mine!We had our 5th annual Authier Halloween party- about 50-60 guests this year. We had nonstop trick-or-treaters, who all know me! "Oh my gosh, it's Mrs. Authier's house!"

This is a good window into Gauge's personality- he can be such a ham!

We had so much fun, that Sunday morning Nov 1st Gauge asked me, "Can we have another Halloween party tonight?"
