Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!  As you can see I am missing my Thing 2!!

 

Scary Movie...Chris...What?!?!?!?!

On Saturday night after our class SS hayride, I actually got Chris to go to a scary movie with me...I mean this is a VERY rare occasion, but I was very excited he went with me.  We went with 2 other couples, both of which are a part of my scary movie group (yes I have a group).

 

Thanks Chris for taking one for the team and going to see Carrie...it wasn't even scary!

Annual Hayride...

This past weekend we had our annual SS class hayride/cookout.  And as in years past, it does not dissappoint.  We had such a great time of fellowship, jousting, and some great food (which included a bucket of BBQ sauce...seriously a bucket, Chris was in heaven).

 

Our wonderful hosts, The Murphys, rented several inflatables to keep the kids entertained throughout the night, well and some adults as well.

 

 Me and my friend Jennifer decided to give it a go...I am WAY too competitive (I know that is a surprise)

 

 The rule was we weren't gonna hit at the head...do you think she followed that?  Ha

 Then it was time for the hayride, and the kids had a blast.  Molly and Macie are in MDO together, don't they look like they could be twins.

 My friend Jennifer and her daughter Lexi and me and Kennedy!

 The girls and their friend Adyson Bowers (they use her full name)...and Mrs. Erin in the background.

We are so blessed by a wonderful SS class, and are grateful for our fellowships with them.  There were 70+ people there, but you never would have known it.  They kids had a blast, and the adults could visit.  Thankful and blessed!!!

Fall Fest 2013

Friday night was Carter, Kennedy and Bailey's fall fest at their school.  So, off we went to enjoy some games, chili, and lots of candy.  The kids had a great time, and even I dressed up as a Cowgirl...although there are no pics to verify :)

 

 Painting pumpkins...

 We were so excited to run into the Addingtons and pose for a quick picture...we were missing Paige however...

 but then met up with her later.  Bailey thought it was so cool to be dressed like Paige.  :)

 Our strong superheros...

 Carter and his teacher Mrs. Knoedl...we love her!!!  She is pregnant with her first baby in April, we are so excited for her!

It was a great time, can't wait again until next year!  Well, maybe we can...ha

Lunch with a couple 1st graders...

This last week while I was in LA (and NO I didn't see any famous people) :(...Chris was again amazing!  He spent his Wed having lunch with 2 amazing little 1st graders, and then went to the pumpkin patch with Kennedy and Bailey.  What a great dad!  I am so glad that I get to share this life with him, and that he wants to go to these things with the kids.

 

This was from the elevator to my room in our hotel in LA...this was the first time I saw sunlight on one of the days.  I went out there for a Network of Executive Leadership Summit, and we were in meetings literally all day!  Oh well, the weather was perfect, and when we did get out of the hotel it was pretty!

Chris eating with Carter and Paige...what a treat!!!

Tree Climbing Fun...

On Sunday night we were at Nana's house eating our typical Sunday night dinner, and the kids were playing outside while we were cooking.  They were all literally in one tree at the same time.  These kids could have played there for hours.  They were hanging upside down, climbing and swinging off of everything.  Its so fun to see all 7 of them play together, and with something as simple as climbing a tree.  Love these days...

 

 He actually climbed pretty high in the tree, and wanted me to take a picture of him...little monkey!

My Pumpkin Heads...

Let the Halloween/Fall times begin...Chris and Carter (mainly Chris) carved a pumpkin this afternoon.  The of course they had to "model" their final carving.

 

I sure do love these 2 pumpkin heads...
