Attention All, I actually Updated!!!

LOL, I'm pretty shocked myself. I've updated this and facebook. I'm on a roll today. I've cleaned house, finished my book (Tempted, which was really good by the way) and did all the updating. What am I going to do now?? I would like to say THANK GOD FOOTBALL IS OVER. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I am so ready to have our Saturday's back. They had their last game on Saturday against Wilcox. It was a close game, but we pulled thru and won. That put us in 1st place for flag, our season was 6 wins and 2 losses. Colby really enjoyed playing and can't wait until next yr.

I believe we have a little break before our next adventure which will be welcoming baby Corey who is expected in just a few more weeks. I can't wait for Cleve to be a dad. ;) Then the craziness of the holidays will be here. ;)

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We took the kids to the Annual Halloween Carnival at the Solomon School on Friday. As always they had a blast! On sat we headed out for trick or treating, or as we like to call it....driving all over graham county. We just drive around to grandparents and call it good. Sad but true, our kids have never actually "trick or treated". We started on our way to Pima about dark. We got to my mom's and as we get out of the truck, the kids are walking up the sidewalk and finally notice my mom and jay sitting on the porch swing dressed up like a witch and monster. She is so awesome. She had dry ice all around, and all kinds of spiders set around. The kids did a quick pause and re-assessed the area and realized who they were. Glad Becca didn't get scared. Then we headed to Chris's parents and were going to actually let them go to the houses down the street, but nobody even had their lights on. What has happened to kids trick or treating?? I've never been to a trunk or treat, but it just can't be the same as going from door to door. ????????? Oh well, the kids still got way to much candy, and now Chris and I have to eat it!!!!

Halloween Bonko

This month for Bonko most of us dressed up. It was alot of fun to dress up, it has been a while. I was the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Thanks Aunt Misty for the costume!!



Colby's 6th Birthday

Colby turned 6 last month. I can really not believe that he is that old. He is doing GREAT in school, and loves playing football. He had a Mario Bros Birthday. We got him a BB Gun, but I'm an awesome mom and forgot to charge the camera so these are the only pic's we got of the party!!!!

Our Baby Girl is 1

Today is Macie's 1st birthday! I can not believe how fast the last year has flown by. Just in the last 2 weeks she has mastered walking, quit nursing and now turned one. She is no longer my baby, she is now a toddler. I'm a little sad because this is probably (Chris said no probably about it--lol) my last one so I was wanting this to not go by so fast. Oh well it's here and she is doing great so I'll quite whining!!

Go Broncos!!

Colby is playing flag football. His team is the Broncos and he is #11. Bryant and Kayden are also on his team. This was their 1st game, it was against the Morenci Jaguars and they won. They played so good. It was such a shock to watch them, they actually run plays. We were so used to soccer and the chaos that we were not expecting to see organized plays. Anyways, he loves it and we are glad because he has a game every week thru the end of Oct!!

He is such a ham, posing as usual



He is in the middle of the picture running toward Bryant who was pulling the flag.

Labor Day Weekend

We went up to Alpine camping over Labor Day weekend. We had a blast as usual. It rained alot, which let me tell you...makes a huge mess when you have a crawling baby!! We got to see quite a few elk, turkey but only a couple of deer. Chris celebrated his b-day while we were up there. Of course when we came home Chris had to kill another snake in the front yard that night. When will it end??

One way to keep her out of the mud


Colby trying tricks...no we don't let him ride like that- he was stuck and turned to pose!!


Becca & Tymbr painted the blocks and then built them into a castle

Callie's Visit

Callie came down in August for about 2 weeks. The kids were really excited to see her....well all of us were. We miss her so much, but glad that she has gone out on her own to make her life her own. We went to Roosavelt Lake for the weekend and she had us all riding the tube except Macie. It was a blast! The kids LOVED it.
