Happy Halloween!!!

As you might have guessed by now, we did not make it to the pumpkin patch this year. It makes me a little sad, but the only kid that said something about wanting to go was Rachel. By then it was too late and most of the pumpkins were gone. :0( So, we did a little photo shoot at the house in our costumes.

The pictures came up in the order they were taken, so Momma is first! I am a little self conscious about being first.

Here I am as Wonder Woman!!! I saw this costume and knew it was mine!! I even put it on first thing yesterday morning and wore it all day.

Wonder Woman and her Superman have this bunch under control. They are doing their mad faces. :0)

Little Superman was tricked into this costume. He thought he was getting to wear his pjs all day!

Little did he know Wonder Woman had pinned a cape on the back of it. It took him most of the day to figure it out and want it off.

Memaw came to spend Halloween with us. She passed out candy last night to the Trick-or-Treaters. Love the picture where Superman is smiling up at her.

Our Green Ninja...

He is loving this costume. The sword is the best part, of course.

My little Bunny...

She loves to shake her bushy tail...

 Our Beautiful Angel...

Group shot.

Rachel with her friend B. An angel and a zombie....the perfect combination!

Memaw with the kiddos.

Trick-or-Treating.  Wade caught on very fast. He LOVED trick-or-treating!!! He did not say much. He mostly grabbed the candy and ran back to the stroller. We will work on better manners for next year.

Luke with his buddy Sumo Wrestler.

 We all had a blast last night!!! It is so fun to get dress-up!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Our four kids attended their first New Years Eve party this year! We all had a great time!! The kids, Wade included, had no problem staying up til midnight to bring the New Year in. Big surprise!!!

Kate met a new friend, as she usually does. They blew horns together for about 30 minutes before the big event!
They had a great time....


I like this picture because of the couple kissing.
We managed to make it home without one horn, and the hats we got home with were not the ones in the picture!!! I brought home everything I was handed, so I guess you can say I got lucky!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

This post is a little late because it has been a little crazy around here, but I wanted to get Thanksgiving posted before Christmas arrived, so here you go.

We went to Snyder to spend Thanksgiving Day with my side of the family. We had lunch at my Aunt Lorita's house. It was a delicious meal and a great day! Chris had worked the night before so he slept through most of Thanksgiving, but he came to Snyder to be with us.

After lunch we went to Grananna's and Grandpa's to visit with Grandnanna's family. The kids had fun running and playing with all the kids.

Friday we had all of Chris's mom's side of the family at our house. Below is the whole group minus one (DJ was MIA). We had 19 in all. It was great getting to all be together.
Ian is showing Luke how to play Granny's phone.
Granny gives the best massages...Wade would just lay there and soak it all in. We have tried to hold him this way, but we just don't have the right touch. Wade can't wait for Granny to come back for some more back rubs!
Wade really benefited from all the extra arms. Uncle Aaron even had some baby duty.
Daddy's Granny was Wade's new best friend...She got to hold him as much as she wanted, and Wade LOVED every minute of it!!! The best naps are when you are being held.
PawPaw's turn. I don't think Wade had to be put down the whole weekend. He was in seventh heaven!
We made little gingerbread houses with the kids.
Mac and Wade getting acquainted.
We don't get together with Granny and Aunt Cara without playing beauty shop. Aunt Johnnie even had her hair done this time. I guess when Sydney gets bigger I will have to have mine done too.
Great picture of the kids waiting for some food.
Now this is a lap full of babies...

We had such a great Thanksgiving weekend! We always enjoy getting to spend time with our family!!

Eek!! There Is A Skunk In the Pumpkin Patch!!

We made our annual trek to the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon and we ran into some pretty interesting characters. The first thing we noticed was that a skunk had gotten into the patch!! We were scared at first but quickly realized it was just a baby one, and all he wanted to do was find a comfortable place to take a nap.

Luke Skywalker was there to protect us if things got out of hand.

We saw a pink leopard that was as cute as she could be.

Little Red Riding Hood was trying to find her Grandma's house and stay away from the Big Bad Wolf!

We got everybody together for a few group shots...

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch! Such a fun place to get a pumpkin and a few fall pictures!
