Getting Ready for THE GREAT PUMPKIN

What a fun day we had yesterday! We spent the day getting ready for The Great Pumpkin!
My mom's friend Debbie, otherwise known as the Great Aunt Betty sent us our Halloween box. The kids had SO much fun using all of the goodies!
We had stickers for our pumpkins. We had BOO! plates, pumpkin straws and some GREAT Halloween cake! It was a memorable, FUN day! The making of the pumpkins was interesting to say the least. But they turned out just GREAT!

This picture is of the kids working hard!

A Party for Dad

We had a party for dad a few weeks ago and it was the CUTEST idea my kids have had. They made decorations and we prepared a "feast" for dad when he got home from work. We all settled in to watch the Tech game on WE LOVE DAD DAY!

here are more pics

The kids are dressed up at the Horse Museum in Ruidoso, NM. Pops and Grana took us to see all of the pioneer stuff. They had a really cool place for the kids to play with stuff. Mia and Blaine are playing in a pioneer cabin. They had a BLAST!

Out of Order but....4th of July pics are here

Here are some of the pics from our 4th of July. We really had a fun time this year with the kids. They are finally big enough to enjoy some of the "fun" of life. We LOVE spending time with all of Justin's family. They are SOOO much fun! How blessed I am to be a part of such a wonderful fam! The "extended" brothers and sisters makes everything that much more fab. And our kids get to have SO many "aunties" and "uncles"!

Fall is in full swing......

Well, I suppose that it is obvious that not working at school has NOT given me ANY more time to post on our blog. But man are we LOVING it!
Mia started ballet again on Monday night and then Tuesday morning it was off to her first day of preschool. Ahhhhh....our baby is growing up!
The twins are keeping me busy for SURE. Blaine wanted to go to preschool SO bad...atleast the dinosaur figurines laid out on the floor looked very enticing! He screamed ALL the way out of the church and across the street until we got to the car. Yay.
Presley thinks that she should be going to ballet--but alas--she cannot take ballet and still be "pootin" in her britches.....maybe next year--PLEASE LORD SAY SHE WILL BE ABLE TO NEXT YEAR. Blaine--I don't know.....
Love to all. God has blessed us abundantly with many children, many messes and much laughter. Not a boring job switch for sure!
