Punkins!!!!!

The boys went huntin' last saturday and Shelby went with Stevie to the punkin patch, hay ride, film festival, weenie dog races, shopping and who knows what else. The kids wanted to paint the pumpkins and decorate, so here are the pics!!!

Hallow-Scream!!!

Mimaw and I took the kiddos to Magic Screams last weekend and they had a "scream"!!! Nate rode the Gauntlet and Dr. Dean's for the first time and Shelby hung out on the kiddie rides and on her roller coaster. Nate also got to drive the bumper cars on his own and thought he was all that! We did a couple haunted houses and scared ourselves silly in one of them. Chad stayed home to study and aced his test the next day. Happy Halloween!!!

Blayne's Return

We had a great party for Blayne when he came home for a long weekend during his training in the Marine Corps. He will need all of our prayers as he will be leaving for Iraq in the next couple of months. May God keep him safe!!!

VACATION!!!!

If Jason and Paula don't already have it posted, here it is! Our get-a-way was awesome, just not long enough. We went to a cabin near Watson, OK, right on the river. No kids, just us four parents. The hubbies attempted to fish, we ate like royalty(we did our own cooking of fajitas and such), a little canoeing, and some hiking. Mostly alot of visiting and enjoying our time away. The guys even shared in dish duty( pics to prove it). A little fresh air does everyone good unless it's ragweed season, then you all end up stuffy like we did!

Way Overdue!!!

Julie and Nate celebrated their birthdays together at their favorite restaurant, Rocky Mountain Grill. Nate discovered he liked crab stuffed mushrooms and we all had a great time. All the grandparents came and the food and fellowship was fun. Nate got a Bear compound bow(pics soon)for his b-day, so he and dad have been having a good time. Mom got a new purse and wallet with a new pink chi iron. Good times!
