Okay-I found this video on another website and was amazed!! I am probably the last one to see this, but it just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover! I cried while watching this! How humbling!

Hi Ho the Dairy-O -- A Campin' We Will GO!!

This past weekend our small group went on a weekend camping trip! We originally were headed for Tyler State Park, but ended up at Lake Bob Sandlin. We a had the best time! The weather was very nice--a little cool in the morning--a little chiller at night--but just beautiful during the day!

This was our tent--just perfect for keeping warm on a crisp night!
All the kiddos minus Baby Jack and Caleb

We spent a couple of hours fishing on Saturday! Adam giving Kinzie and Jackson fishing lessons!
We took the kiddos bikes and all they wanted to do was ride them around and around the circle!

This camping trip was a lot of fun and I can hardly wait until we are able to go again! The company was good--the food was great--the showers were warm--the memories priceless!

Trunk or Treat

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! This Trunk or Treat was very relaxing and laid back! Our small group joined another small group for the evening and did a fishing theme! The kiddos had a fun time fishing and getting tons of candy! Kinzie and Jackson decided to dress up as something different for Trunk or Treat--so they dug in their dress up clothes --- Snow White and A Cars Pitt Crew is what they came up with! I had a hard time keeping track of Kinzie with her black wig!!

On a lighter note--Adam did not win first prize for the Rootinist-Tootinist Chili this year! :( Oh well, sometimes you have to let others win!

The MOM Song

This song needs no explaination! Here is to moms everywhere! THANKS for all YOU DO!!
ENJOY!!!

Flapper K and Gangsta' J.....

NANA and her BABIES!!!
FAMILY PHOTO OPP!!

ACA (the place I work and where the kids go to school) had their annual FALL FEST a couple of weeks ago! It was really fun! There are fun little carnival games to play-face painting-hayride-mini train ride-costumes-and of course my favorite FOOD! It was a fun evening-the kiddos got all dressed up and off we went!

Who's the BIG MAN now?

That's right Jackson has turned 3!!!


We had a great time celebrating J-man's birthday! We had friends over and played in the backyard! Very laid back - good friends - good cake - good times!
Jackson loves "Cars" so we did a Cars theme party!

He was so excited about his cake. When it was time to get the cake out he followed me inside the house, all over the kitchen, back outside, to the table the entire time saying "that's my cake, that's my cake, that's my cake"!
Poor guy we cut the cake and made him open presents while everyone else had cake! Okay maybe he wasn't that bothered by it!


We had a great time! Thanks to all of friends who came and helped us celebrate Jackson turning 3! WE love you J-man and Happy Birthday!

What's APPLE MONTH without...

JOHNNY APPLESEED

Adam came to my school dressed as Johnny Appleseed during September! He told "his" story to about 20 four year olds on Johnny Appleseed's Birthday! The teachers were really impressed-Adam has such a way with kiddos! The children loved it-he even got a few stamps of approvable-when 3 of my boys gave "Johnny" a hug! Adam came equipped with a color sheet and of course his favorite - apples!! So if any of you need a guest appearance of any kind-Adam is your man!

This is why I fell in love with-Mr. Man!
