Owen smiling big for the camera. He just finished cleaning up his room and was heading outside to play. I thought I should take more pictures so I grabbed one of him before he went out.

Ashton sweeping up the popcorn he dropped while Steve tried to help :) I just swept and scrubbed the floors so he was not happy that I made him clean it up! Kids what can you do!

Our Boys

fiddling with my new flash

The boys were not happy about being my subjects but I was fiddling around with my new flash since my one on my camera burnt out. I had fun and I got a few neat pictures to use for our Christmas cards this year! It is hard to believe that this year is almost over. It seems like just yesterday we were opening up the pool and now we are looking forward to our first snowfall :)

What is it?!

So Justin and I were working in the yard last week cleaning up a bit for winter since the weather was nice when I came across this as I was going in the garage for the hammer.......

As always a huge thanks to the Brady family for once again throwing an awesome Halloween Party! We had a blast and partied all night long! Owen was so wide awake when he came home at 2am that he watched a movie before going to bed and I took poor Ashton home @ 1 am because he could barely keep his eyes open :) Hanging with good friends, having a few drinks, and playing games is the very best way to spend an evening! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends who are more like extended family!

Trick or Treating

Happy Halloween!!

The boys had a great time trick or treating tonight. The boys cleaned house on the candy front and ended up with quite a few big candy bars :) We headed across to the subdivision next to us and got lost. Justin had to ask for directions to get back to our street :) But the boys had fun and got enough candy to last for a lifetime and that is all that matters! Now I am off to settle in front of the fire with my boys and watch us some Halloween movies! Happy Halloween Everyone!!

LWC Harvest Festival

Ashton hit 2 hole in ones for a handful of Candy! He was off to a great start. They went through about 20 games to win candy and won a half a bag each of candy! Owen started the kids off in the game tent. The first 4 games he got the top prize :) He was on a roll last night! Both of the boys did well and had a wonderful time! They got popcorn, balloon toys, lots of candy, and a turn through the bouncy maze! It was a great way to spend 2 hours having fun :)
