Halloweenish!

We like to party!  Had all the cousins over to the house for Chili and Trick or Treating!  Good times and GREAT Memories.  Preslee went Trick or Treating with friends... alone.  She is 12 now!  The rest of us stayed together.  Deacon likes to be a bat!  Good thing I keep all of our costumes!

My cute boy!

Thank goodness for Diary of a Wimpy kid, or my kid would never crack open a book!

A Pretzel Birthday!

The girl turned 12 in October.  What?  I'm a busy mother of four!  Yes, I throw great parties, yes we had a marshmallow stuffing contest, and italian sodas, pizza, and sorbet in fruit cups.  Red Lemon was our theme... We painted lemons RED!  We tie died shirts and danced.  Then Dustin presented Pretzel with her homemade Sonic Screw Driver.  If you don't know what that is... shame on you! 
Who could ask for a better time??? 

Feeling Scottish?

Its a very sad story... Grant had a solo in the third grade performance. He brought home the sheet music to practice.  As he practiced he would get teary and say, "its a beautiful love song."  He truly has the sweetest heart.  Two days before the performance he got sick.  He had a high fever and cough..... and he lost his voice.  Because he was so excited to wear a kilt, we let him at least attend the performance.  His best friend, Fox, was his backup.  After Fox sang his part Grant gave him the biggest hug.  It was the sweetest thing a Mother could ever watch.  My son is a performer, and if you ask nicely, he will sing the scottish love ballad for you. 

My Toehead is 7!

The Hunt 2012

Lord Of The Rings Anyone?

When I saw it on the movie, I thought it was something only genetically modified, freaky, evil guys did.  Well maybe its just the human side coming out of those guys cause Grant is not freaky, evil, or genetically modified.  He just found that mud makes great paint.  Great picture though!
