BOO to you!


Here are a few pictures from our Spooky Sunday today. We had the most amazing weather and the kids had so much fun filling up their candy buckets tonight. Even Jade stayed out with us the entire 2 hours and loved every minute of it. Halloween is so much fun!

Our little Lady Bug.
Karson picked a bat and Kael a skull this year to be carved.
The highlight of the week was having Grandma Sharon come and stay! We miss you already Mom. My kids adore you.
Kael ready to make "swamp water" with orange crush & root beer.
Wouldn't be Halloween without Sloppy Joe's! Yummy.

The kids and a big bad wolf ready to go get candy! Jade doesn't look to impressed with that wolf does she?
Going to our neighbors first......
Getting chilly!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

A few highlights


Lots of exciting things to share, or at least we think so. First off, I finished my first blog book and am so happy how it turned out! It was really easy and I feel like I actually have a purpose in blogging now.... it serves as the best family journal ever!! I used Blurb and will continue to in the future. It was around $45 and 85 pages ...... not too bad hey?

Here is the front cover.
and the back.


This picture is for Grandma Sharon. Doesn't he look so handsome in his new church clothes you sent him? Thanks so much Mom, he loves looking like his Dad on Sunday.
Also, this not so little guy had his tonsils taken out a last week and was so brave!
These are the only pictures I got from the day he had surgery. He did great and surprised all of us with how hyper he was when he got home! I have heard horror stories about this surgery and for Kael it seemed like a breeze. He's sure enjoyed all the lego prizes he picked out, popsicles & ice cream, gifts from Aunt's & Uncles, friends, and Grandma's! Sounds like more of a party to me! Way to go Kael. We are so proud of you!

I told him to try to look sad for this picture while building his new lego ship...
Asking me to remove the hospital bracelets...... Now!


Okay, this picture makes my skin crawl.
Kael found this creepy halloween looking giant spider behind our milk box (where Jade plays all the time) Holy Crap! The boys and I were freaking out!!
Check out that nasty thing crawling away. Good thing we mushed it's egg sack after mushing him! I Don't want to see one of those ever again.


Last but not least, a few pictures of the boys doing some Kempo Karate.
They love it and I think it has been so good for them to learn to focus and have more respect. I also love that they will be able to defend themselves and not be scared of fighting back when needed. Kids are mean these days.
Hopefully they don't kill each other though.
