Halloween Preview

The kids got to dress up today for early Halloween fun.

Marcus is Optimus Prime this year.

Emma is a Gypsy (or fortune teller if you ask her)

Olivia is a Greek Goddess.

Pretty cute!

Love them!

A quick peek through the spider web.

And picture by the gate.

I wanted to see Marcus' face so he let me.

Emma.

Olivia.

Super cute!

We drove to Deer Park for the Pumpkin Lane.

Harlow met us too.

We started at Yokes and did some trick or treating around town.

The fire department was there too.

They let Marcus sit in the truck.

Emma too...Olivia didn't want to.

Smokey the Bear was there!

Remember these girls from Chitaqua this summer?

The whole town participated...look at all the people lining the streets.  

 

We walked far!

It was lots of fun.

There were ponies there too.

Emma got to pet one.

Olivia did too.

It even rained on us; but the kids didn't care.

There was a lot to do and see.

Lots of candy too.

Look at those cute faces.

Marcus was excited to see the Rodeo queens.  

Olivia ended up with my hat by the end...it got a little chilly and it down poured on us at one point...but overall it was a good time!

Last Game of the Season

The girls got to hold the Wildcats sign for the last game this morning.

Getting ready...

One last huddle before the game.

Go Wildcats...there's Marcus, #50, breaking through.

It was finally football weather; we've been spoiled all season but it was chilly this morning.

Nice tackle boys!

There's #50 on the field.

Marcus was cold too...

He put his hands in his shirt to try to keep warm.

Back out there...Marcus worked his way up to starting defense.  He really picked it up this season!

There's the defense.

Ready....Set...

There they go!

Half time picture with his fans.

This is Aiden and Trestin...we hung out with their parents most of the season.

One last Wildcat huddle for the season. 

Good Game Boys!

And one last tunnel.

Nice season Marcus...he was sad to see it end.

First Friend Sleepover

The kids experienced their first friend sleepover last weekend.  I got this picture texted to me late at night.  They had a pretty good time...hair dye and all!

The kids were pretty sleepy the next day...Marcus laid on his bed when he got home and we hardly heard from him the rest of the day.

Olivia did go grocery shopping with me.  I was talking to her on the way home and there was no response...I turned around to see this.  They were so tired!  So fun!!!

Winding Down

We are down to the last of the football games.  The kids got to hold the Wildcats sign last weekend!  They were so excited.  This is Bree, Maddy, Emma, Olivia, Isabella and Brody...just a few of the siblings of the Wildcats.

The boys waiting patiently for the coin toss.

Getting ready...

There they go!  YAY Wildcats!

Support

Marcus is sporting pink shoelaces to support breast cancer awareness month.  He played his game in memory of Bobbi Haley.

We also found cool Seahawk jerseys!

Go Hawks!

First Grade Field Trip

Marcus' class went to Green Bluff for a field trip.  They picked apples and learned all about them.  Marcus and Ryder tased the apples and approved.

Daddy went on this field trip with Marcus.  He even bought them pumpkin donuts...so fun!

Whiz Kid

I caught Emma doing some research on the computer.

Such a smart girl...really she was playing games but doesn't she look so official?

Fair Picture

There was a booth at the fair this year where you could get a free photo taken.  It was run by Mutual of Omaha.  They took your picture and then posted it on their website.  I just got the email telling me it was available...pretty cute if I do say so myself.
