Halloween


Jeff has always wanted to do one of his family traditions which is the brownie pumkin. This was the first year for us to start carrying on the tradition. The kids loved it!




Who in their right mind ever came up with the idea to load your kids up on as much candy as you can and then expect them to go to sleep!




The Pumkin Patch




This year was a great trip to the DD Ranch again. The kids just love the animals and the highlight of the trip was the facepainting. The lady took pitty on me and gave us half price since she couldn't believe how many kids we had (like 4 is alot).



Dayne loves spiders and wanted the scaries thing mom could handle.









The lady kept trying to get Ali to get something "Girly" but all she kept asking her for was a pumpkin and the lady finally settled.







Sydney's world revolves around everything being Blue.







Brooke is the girl of the bunch and wanted all of the cutest bugs.









The petting zoo was about the size of our backyard so the goat who stood in the little shack was the best.

Life is good!



Sydney and Brooke are growing up! The latest comment was at my brothers wedding. Brooke was looking at the framed fishing hooks on the wall at the bed and breakfast and said "Look their is Pappa's hookers!" She was so proud.








Well next week Jeff's best friend Max is moving to Tennessee :(


Our family is very sad....we will really miss them. Family vacations will never be the same again.



We miss the BEACH! We have cabin fever. Fall is wonderful here in Bend, Oregon but we really would like to visit the coast again. Hopefully soon.

Summer 2008




Well the Ludeman's have enjoyed a wonderful summer in 2008! We never stopped. Lots of swimming, camping, beach trips, baseball, gymnastics and a great trip to Seattle.

Dayne will be starting 3rd grade & Ali will be in 1st grade. YEAH!!! 2 in school all day. I am looking forward to their adventures this year as they will be attending a new school and making new friends. Sydney & Brooke are still as crazy as ever and putting any teacher to the test. (Church, preschool and swimming instructors)

Here are some photos of our summer adventures.
