Decorating Outside

Todd & Jo strung the ice-cycle lights around the house.

We need to get more to go across the top.

The GIANT Santa stands out front. He is so fun.

This is what we have done so far, I think we need more lights. I want to put candles in the windows, (the plastic light-bulb ones), and candy-canes across the front porch.

We will see.

Trimming the Tree...

Our new house got TONS of decorations this season.

I bought a pre-lit tree last year (after the holidays for 75% off!!)
It is soooo pretty!!

The kids hung all the ornaments on the bottom branches.

I had to rearrange some of them.

But in the end, we had a BEAUTIFUL tree.

I Am Thankful...

Aunt Roxanne brought sugar cookies to decorate. Zack LOVED it, the sugar high lasted about 2 hours!! So much fun.

Pie in the face.
Brynna got him back.
Paybacks Uncle Todd!!


See... Pie in the face. Uncle Todd told her that you cant "smell" the whip cream. She fell for it, and he smashed her face into the pie.
Oh, Uncle Todd.

Making the ornament-of-the-year.
Little cork reindeer.
Great job, Ty & Brynna!!

Playing outside in the cold. Em & AB are best buds.

Hi Great Grandma!!
Typical Boys... Football must be on.
Grandma & Grandpa had the day off, we ate at MY house this year!!
TONS of room for everyone!!
And a Kids table.

Jordan Made Us Dinner!!

He had to cook a 3 course meal for his final in Home Ec. at school. He Made Noodle Stir-Fry, Noodle-Rice Pilaf and Pumpkin Muffins w/ Chocolate Chips!!

I was VERY impressed at his knowledge of the Kitchen. Although it dosen't look impressive, it was tasty!! Everyone enjoyed it and even ate seconds!! The Pumpkin Muffins were my favorite. I am so proud of him. I may NEVER have to cook again! I've got Todd and Jordan, now. I am Spoiled.

Halloween Night...

~ Ty's Pumpkin ~
~ Jordan's Pumpkin ~

~ Zack & Emily's pumpkin ~
The Ghost was just for fun!!

Brynna -Gangsta' Girl - she had 'bling' but must have taken it off, I'm sure she didn't want to "show-off" ha,ha,ha.

AB - Zombie Train Engineer - He came up with that on his own. He is the cutest!!

Alice - Pretty Bones - she had necklaces on and a cute bow in her hair. So adorable!!

So my sisters and their kids came over to Trick or treat our new neighborhood. Brynna, AB and Alice went out with the kids and Todd, Jeremiah and Pat. Roxanne went too, and Stacey and I stayed home to pass out candy. Sadly, we didn't get too many kids come to our house. However our kids came back with their bags FULL!!

Then we went to see Grandma and Pa-Pa and called it a night.

I woke up this morning to Zack with the chocolate evidence all over his face. Yes, he had already tore into his bag and was eating as much as he possibly could.

OMG - it will be a rough couple of days, then all the candy will somehow be "ALL-GONE"!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Trick or Treat

My Crazy Kids
Zack is a Bat

Emily is Gabriella from High School Musical. Although
I am sure Gabriella didn't wear Hot Pink socks with her pretty white dress in HSM2!!

This is Ty. He is the guy from the video game, 'Halo 3' I guess he is called Master Chief.
What do I know.

I hope this isn't a look into the future.

He is a good boy know, lets hope he stays that way.
