The Grain Bin that Papa built!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The kids couldn't wait to carve the turkey! Drew asked me if I caught it myself or bought it from the store!
Jason did a great job supervising Dennis as he carved the turkey!
Finally, what the kids have been waiting for... the wish bone!
Emma "won".. Dennis is apparently giving Drew some sort of pep talk!

Emma's new glasses

Emma had her annual eye exam. We received great news!!! Her eye sight is improving and her new perscription is half the strength! Way to go.....now all we needed to do was pick out new glasses.
Wow..all the choices they have!
How about pink~

or blue with flowers on the side.

Blue with no flowers!

Classic brown??

Here's a different shade of pink!

Black & Brown..perhaps

And the winner is............. Black and Turquoise blue! Isn't she adorable!!!

Meet Noah!

Finally, we were all healthy enough to meet the new branch on the Hutchinson family tree :) We are proud to introduce you to Noah Tyler born October 18th around 4:30 in the morning. He weighed just a little over 7lbs and is 19" long! He is absolutely adorable!

Drew held him just long enough for me to take this picture.. then he just admired him from afar.

Emma was amazed at how little he is :)
I am pretty sure he is thinking "Oh crap..what is up with this guy!" Emma's true love of the day however was this cute little puppy! WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY NOAH!

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween!
We have had really nice weather and carved our pumpkins outside this year!

Trick or Treat Night was super! We had lots of friends come over and trick or treat with us!
Drew was a Hot Dog Vendor...he even handed out hot dogs to our neighbors. And Emma proudly represented the Poodle Skirt Era! It's always exciting at the end of the night to look through your goody bag! Our Annual Hutchinson Halloween Hooray celebrated the decades of the past!
We were honoored to have Stacey proudly support the 80's and Madonna!

Mom and Dad were the 1950's models! I guess only fitting since they were born in the 50's :) Here is a group picture of our Costume Contest winners.

Emma and I at the Halloween Party...I was her 1950's stay at home mom! Emma and Dennis enjoying a nice dance!

A lovely picture of the Mr. and Mrs. !

The kiddos! April and Stacey

of course..Dennis representing the 70's in true fashion! the facial hair is real by the way....and he wore this to work that evening! The kids digging in the traditional leaf pile! Simply stunning! Trina apparently Jazzercized her way into a used car from Jarrod!

Then vintage car salesman Jarrod sold this 90's grunge man a Crown Vic!

Roller Skating Fun!

Surprise!

There's music! Now be patient with me because I am new to this music thing. But the song you are currently listening to is an Emma favorite! Hopefully, together Emma and I will create a playlist of her favorite music for you to enjoy while looking at our pictures!

Chicago

Hmm.. having trouble getting pictures uploaded. So here is "blog 1" of my weekend trip to Chicago!
Here is the Sears tower....if you look closely you will see the overlook ledges.
