Halloween Costume Party 2009


This weekend we also went to a Halloween Costume Party at our neighbors house. (Yes I know it is after Halloween but the party was rescheduled) We had a wonderful time. The kids ran around and played all night until about midnight. The adults drank, played pool, and danced. We want to Thank Meegan and Zane for inviting us. We all had a wonderful time.

Sunday-- First Photo Shoot

Justin and I are thinking about starting our own photography business so this weekend we did a small job for some friends of ours. Jane had always some pictures of her family outdoors so since Sunday was the warmest day this fall we headed to John Bryan State Park to shoot some for them. Justin did a wonderful job taking the pictures. I am very proud of him. So now in my spare time, I am reading up on digital photography and trying to learn how to take great pictures. After Justin gets started with his school January, I am going to start taking photography courses hopefully!! Enjoy the pictures. We had a wonderful time and the Herman family was very pleased with their photos!!

Super Saturday.

Sorry that I have not been on lately to post but it has been super busy.... So the next few posts will be catch up. These are from Saturday afternoon. Since the weather decided to warm up a bit the boys headed outdoors. They have a great time on their bikes and green machines. Justin & I did stuff around the house and cleaned up a bit outside. We really enjoyed the warmer weather because we didn't have to stay cooped up in the house.

Grab bag from Grammy & Papaw Wheelock

So Mom talked to the boys on Halloween and asked how Trick or Treating was. Owen told her that he had a good time but was upset because he didn't get any gummy eyeballs. Mom said that was gross but Owen argued that they taste great. So this weekend when mom was in Lafayette she picked up some clearance gummy eyeballs for Owen and Ashton. They were so excited to come home after school today and have a box waiting for them. She sent them a T-shirt, a Riley's grab bag that had some candy & small toys to support Riley's Childrens hospital, some gummy eyeballs, water balloons for next summer, & a bag of assorted gummy body parts. So we wanted to Thank Grammy & Papaw for their stuff (ours too!) and post a couple of pictures of the disgusting eyeballs. I have to say the gummy eyes don't taste very well but the boys sure do love them.

Yesterday the Wedekings came over and had dinner with us. Ashley made some great pulled pork for dinner and the boys got to play with Cannin. We will really miss them when they move back to Texas so we are making the most of it while they are here. We are trying to fill up our weekends with tons of fun activities and we are making tons of freaking memories as Justin would say :) Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Monday, Monday

Yesterday after school the boys headed out to play on the neighbors playground while I got dinner going. I snuck outside for a few photos. I love to watch them play. They have such an active imagination. It is amazing how many different things a playground can turn into. It was a space shuttle, an underwater fun park, a military post, and so on. It is fun to just watch and listen to them play. They are precious!

Justin went hunting yesterday evening. Didn't get anything but he knows where he wants to set up his stand. Keep your fingers crossed that he gets something. He will be so disappointed if he doesn't get anything again this year. Have a great week!

Lazy Sunday

Sunday was a pretty lazy day @ our house. The boys and I were up with the sun. The time change messed with all of us. I got a pot of Winter Beef Stew started, made the kids some breakfast and then did a few things around the house. The boys went out to skate in the driveway for awhile. Owen headed over to Bob's (our neighbor) house to play on his swing set and Ashton headed out to ride his dirt bike for a bit. Justin got some things done that he wanted to so all and all it was a wonderful day. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe week.
