Pumpkin Patch & Dinner at Grandma's

Zack and Alice haven't seen each other in a few months, but that did not stop them from playing with each other. They had so much fun together!
Van found his pumpkin!! There were acre's and acre's of pumpkins to look thru. Conveniently Van's was right next to the cars!!

Zack insisted on a tiny pumpkin. Daddy picked him one a little bigger to carve, but look at this face, he was so proud of his "tiny pumpkin"

Emily and AB roamed thru the fields with Grandma and both found nice pumpkins to carve, they laughed at the "mis-shapen" pumpkins...and the one that looked like a 'Bum-Crack'

All the little grand kids in the back of the Tahoe warming up with Grandpa.

After everyone found the perfect pumpkin, we went to Grandma's house for soup and sandwiches. Great Grandma and Uncle John (who was in town from Arizona) came over for dinner, too. Everyone had such a fun time!!

Preschool Carnival

Jordan and Tyler at my preschools 11th Annual Halloween Carnival.

Tyler is Indiana Jones and Jordan is a football player. Jordan just came from practice...how convenient!
Zack (or Lightning McQueen) enjoying ALL of his game winnings.

this is Van's first year at our carnival. His daddy was a MAJOR part of Van's Monkey Costume. It would not have been the same without the GIANT BANANA to hang on to.
They were the cutest costume in the center, and Randy was a huge hit
(and the ONLY Daddy to dress up for his son!!)

I dressed as Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast.
I was cute!!
Emily and Todd were there too, however they were not around long enough to get a picture of. Todd dressed as Josh McDaniels (just kidding, he just came from coaching Jordan...so it only makes sense for him to dress as a "Coach")
and Emily was none other than Hannah Montana, ROCK STAR SENSATION!! I straitened her hair and sprayed gold glitter hairspray all over. She was beautiful! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of her!

He Still LOVES Me...

After 15 years, he still LOVES me.

Three apartments then one town house then one mortgage...

Four wonderful kids...all just like him,

A beautiful anniversary ring, Past...Present...and Future

Dinner tomorrow night, just the two of us, at a NICE restaurant

...priceless

It's been a while...

I haven't blogged for a while...life has gotten in the way.

We have been very busy this summer. Raising 4 kids, still getting our new house in order (we have been here for 1 year!!) and 2 puppies, I am constantly cleaning up something.

We have re-done our dining room and kitchen. New colors...light grey for the dining room, and steel blue for the kitchen and butler's pantry. I am still trying to get used to it, I think I like it, but...

We were lucky enough to have my little brother, his wonderful wife and their adorable baby boy live with us for 3 months. How lucky were we!! I really miss them now that they have bought their own place.

Now we get ready for the next 3 months of Holiday's... Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is our FAVORITE time of year. Decorating, shopping, the hustle and bustle of the stores, the smells, baking, falling leaves...I could go on and on.

Football season is in full swing. The Denver Broncos and Bear Creek Wildcats are 4-0, 5-0 respectively...GO TEAMS!! Super Bowl and Carnation Bowl bound!! This is the last year for Jordan playing football for the BC league...next year, High School!! No I am NOT ready for this.

This sums up the last few months, my kids are 1 year older, I am still running a successful Child Care center, Todd still sends people around the world on amazing vacations...same old, same old.

This Is The Life!!!
