Still alive...

Well I haven't posted in a little while. I am still alive and all things are well. We will be leaving for FL on Monday, just me and the girls. We are going down for a week of warm weather. Sure hope we don't come back with tans.

October

This has been a very busy month. We had our Halloween Party on the 20th. This was our 8th year having it. We had a lot dress up this year. Brooke was in the Little Miss Pageant and got to ride on a float in the Fall Festival Parade. She had such a great time. Sydney got to go on her first Trick-or-Treating adventure. She dressed up as Holly Hobby. Brooke was a kitty cat. I am worn out and glad this month is over.

Wild Ride

It was a dark and stormy night... Well not really. It was dark though. See we went out to Dwaine and Kitty house for a weenie roast and hayride. The roast was great. The fire was great. The hayride, well lets just say it was one for the record books. Someone got the great idea to go across a field with a very deep, dirt crossing. The truck made it up fine, but the hay wagon didn't. We all dumped - straight down on the the ground. It was a very safe ride, let me tell you. We still had a great time and a great laugh. No one got hurt. By the way, it was Nicole, Eden, and Sydney's first ride. You go girls.

What a Bunch of Wine-o's

We went on a wine trip to southern IL this last weekend. What a blast we had. But I found out that me and wine don't mix. Bad night, but a real fun Saturday. Next time I will just stick with beer. And maybe eat a little less. I would definitely go again!!!

Field Trip

Brooke and her Pre-school class went on a field trip to Tradition Farms in Iola. I went a long to have some fun too. We all got to go on a hay ride, the kids got to do a straw and bean maze, the got to pet rabbits and feed goats. I think they all had a great time. (Even though mom froze her butt off just watching.) Above are some pics from the day.

New happenings!!

A lot has happened since I last wrote. We brought Cisco come on the 30th of Sept. He seems to have adjusted nicely. I have going down everyday and working a little bit with him on grooming and ground work.

Sydney has cut her bottom teeth - finally. She has been very grumpy lately because of them.

And Brooke celebrated her 5th birthday last night. My little girl is growing up so fast. The second kid is growing even faster. Whoa is me...

Cisco

We will be picking "Cisco" up on Sunday and bringing him home. Well home will be just down the road from us at a neighbors house. I can't wait!!!

Meet ??????

Well this is the newest member of our family I think. Aaron gave the ok to get him. Now we just have to find a place to keep him. I have a few places that I can try. So we will see. Any suggestions for names???

Planting trees

Today Brooke and I planted some trees. I plan on taking her picture next to it every year on her birthday to show how much her and the tree grow. We also planted one for Sydney. She was napping when we did this so I didn't her picture. We planted a Colorado Blue Spruce and a Norway Spruce. Hopefully they won't die.

It Happened!!

Well it finally happened. Brooke got sent to the nurses office. It seems a boy in her class got her to stick her hand under a rubber band while it was stretched. When she did this, he let go. Ouch!!! Anyway, she's okay. No harm no foul. Kids will be kids. She also spilled her milk on her today and had to change her clothes. It was a bad day for her.

Sydney was grouchy today again. I sure wish she would get those pesky teeth. Her mood would probably change.

Intro

I figured that since I have nothing else to do I would start yapping about my kids even if no one reads it. Brooke just loves Pre-K and I love spending a little one on one time with Sydney who is just growing way tooooo fast.
