Well normally on Wednesdays Kason and I go to a playgroup with mom's from our Sunday School class and their kids. This week I decided to have playgroup at our house with a Halloween theme. All the kids came dressed in their costumes. We had pumpkin painting and lots of playing in the backyard and playroom. I am so glad that everybody was able to come even if we did have over 20 kids in my house at one time. I'm posting a few pictures of the party. I didn't get to take as many as I wanted but I believe I did get some cute ones. I actually really wanted a picture of all of the kids in a group shot but I knew that with20+ kids ages 4 and under it was probably near impossible so I didn't even try. Kason and I enjoyed all of the company though and hope that our friends will come back and play again!!!! We are truly blessed with some great friends!!

Concentrating!

Just running a few weeks behind. I'm posting some pictures from our trip we took to Dallas a few weeks ago. The best part about the trip is the fact that me and the boys were able to see Jason for 3 straight days!!! It's been a little over a year ago I believe since we've had him to ourselves for that long. It was so much fun getting to visit family but the highlight for the 3 of us was having Jason all day each day!!! He's such a hard worker, a great husband, and terrific father and we appreciate everything he does for us, we just miss our time with him since his work requires such long days. While in Dallas we stayed in a hotel for 2 nights. (one of Keagan's favorite things to do) We celebrated Uncle Brice's birthday with my family and spent a night with Uncle Matt, Aunt Amelia, and most importantly "baby Matti." We attended one of Uncle Matt's football games that he coaches and went to the Dallas Arboretum with my family to the pumpkin patch. It all was so much fun!!!

Matt, Aaron, and Jason (Jason's good friend from high school, Aaron, and his brother Matt started coaching together this year) So it was two treats in one for Jason that night getting to see them both!!

Ok...I was just thumbing through a sale flyer from a local department store, when I got to the women's section I turned the page and my mind went flashing back in time. Much to my surprise there was a model with...get this....STIRRUP PANTS!!! Oh my gosh are you kidding me, are they really trying to bring those awful things back!!?? I was ok with them in jr. high because I didn't know any better but seriously I would hate to see my big hiney in those skin tight things now!! Please somebody tell me this isn't happening!!!!!

Just look at what Kason and I stumbled upon one morning last week when we were outside playing. Thank goodness he was dying when we found him but we took it upon ourselves to torture it with a stick until he quit moving totally. A friend of mine actually informed me that these guys jump. Thankfully it didn't do that because I might not be here to post these pictures and tell this story if that sucker had jumped on my hand....ICKY!!!!! Anyway, I'm almost positive that it's a tarantula. He had hairy legs and fangs under his body. I looked at pictures on the internet and they were just about identical but my sweet husband will not believe me that it was indeed a tarantula, never the less it is UGLY!!!! Pardon the pict of Kason holding "the bag" shirtless. I tell you my kids hate keeping clothes on and normally don't have on much when we are around the house. Hopefully that phase will pass soon!!:)
We have been up to so much since my last post but I don't have time to post all the picts and update you but hopefully that will come soon. Good night every one. I pray the rest of the week treats you well!!!
Also wanted to say CONGRATS to our friends the Jones on the birth of their third child and second son Peyton!! What an adorable little guy he is!!!

Just wanted you all to check out my sis-in-laws new blog for a business she is trying to get started. Her stuff on there looks great so if you have a need for it she'll get you all set. http://mattikdesigns.blogspot.com/

Last week Keagan's school had homecoming so each day had a theme and if the students wanted they could dress accordingly instead of wearing their regular uniforms. One of the days was nerd day so we did our best at dressing Keagan a little nerdy and sent him on his way. He played this role a little too well:)

Saturday morning Keagan had a soccer game. Normally he doesn't do too great. Not that he does really bad or awful but it's just that I can tell he's not really trying to play the game, which is really frustrating, because I know he has so much more in him than he gives so it makes the games really hard for me to watch. I am happy to say though that Saturday he played so well. Maybe the best I've ever seen him play defensively. No, he didn't score a goal but he sure kept the other team from scoring several times. Way to go, Keagan...I knew you could do it!!! I remembered to take the camera but left it in the car, oh well.

After the soccer game we came home gobbled some lunch down and quickly changed clothes so we could go to a college football game with some friends. No, Jason wasn't here so technically I didn't have to go but the weather was so nice I thought it would get us out of the house for a while and I knew the boys would enjoy it and that I would enjoy talking with my good friend as well. Some more friends ended up being at the game and sat with us so between us all we had 6 boys that had a fun time playing but I'm not so sure how much football watching they did.

This is my attempt of getting a decent picture of 4 kids (is there really such a thing as that??)=)

We ended up leaving the game just as the 4th quarter started and went to Gram and Pop's. We normally eat a big family supper over there every Sunday night but we had our Sunday night supper on Saturday last week. The boys really enjoyed getting over there a little earlier than normal because they were able to go swimming in Aunt Lori and Uncle D's new hot tub. It was really nice, they turned the temp down low for us and the boys had a splashing good time.






One busy Saturday = 2 very tired boys!!
