HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Doesn't Buster look adorable?! He wanted to get in on the fun this year too so we found him a costume... and Lilly too! She's our little princess!

Now that we have the sweet little pups ready to go, I got my little munchkins ready. Carson chose to be a ninja this year... I know it's because he got to wear cool fighting swords on his back! :)

Makayla is out of the whole "pretty princess" stage and on to gore and blood. She decided to go as a bloodied hospital patient who had just been in a crazy accident.

Breanna was born in the wrong era... PEACE & LOVE! Groovy baby!

Ahoy Matey! Pirate Mason on  board here!

Meet Brayden.. the 1 good armed Ninja! The other guy probably looks worse.. right Brady?

Pretty little princess Charlize!

One tired little spider... Wyatt played hard and is ready for a nap!

We had a great time trick or treating! Everybody looked so cute in their costumes! The kids got a ton of candy... here come the belly aches! Hope everyone out there has a safe and Happy Halloween!

Well, Brayden broke the big bone in his arm. He has to see the Orthopedic Surgeon next week to see if it will heal on its own or if there needs to be further action taken. Hopefully it will be good to go and he will just have to have a cast for a few weeks. Sorry buddy, looks like you and I are not compatible with the skating ring!

We let the kids go skating today after school. They have been skating several times and have had a great time. However, today, my mom got a call from the skating ring at 330 stating that Brayden had fallen and PROBABLY BROKE his arm! Mom called me immediately and I headed to the ring... It's DEFINATELY BROKEN. His arm looks a little bit deformed. When we arrived at the ER, the doc said he remembered us for some reason. I told him "that's because you were my doc when I broke my leg in February at the SKATING RING!" So anyway, he told us that it is definately broken..he could tell just by looking at it. He said it may have to be set but won't know until the x-rays have been taken. OUCH! As if breaking it isn't bad enough! I feel so bad for the little guy :( I'll have to let you know what happened when he's all done. : /

Tooth Fairy Update

Makayla lost her first front tooth on Friday, Oct. 15th and then spent the night at a friends house. So the tooth fairy didn't visit that night. The next day, she was making sure her tooth was still in her little case... she opened it and her tooth FELL OUT. She searched and searched but couldn't find it and she just started crying. I told her not to worry.. the tooth fairy would still come. I told her we would write her a note and leave it under her pillow and it would be ok. She settled down and went to sleep just knowing the tooth fairy would come for sure this time... she woke up and NOTHING! I explained to her that sometimes, the tooth fiary has sooo many kids to visit that she doesn't make it to everyone in one night. She seemed satisfied with that answer and said ok. Well, she lost ANOTHER TOOTH on Sunday afternoon. Makayla was sooo excited because now the tooth fiary was going to bring her even MORE money! So, she tucked her tooth under her pillow with her note for the other tooth and went to bed. She woke up Monday morning.... NOTHING AGAIN! What was going on?? She was starting to get upset but was trying to be sooo PATIENT! I told her that I wasn't sure what was going on : /  but not to worry... she will come. Makayla went to bed Monday night and woke up Tuesday morning to find this note.. and 10 BUCKS!! WHOA! I wish I had a tooth fairy that was sooo NICE! She was ecstatic! We had to go to Walmart that day and find her a treasure! She's such a sweetie.. I just love my little girl :)

All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

I know, wrong holiday month, but Makayla has lost her 2 front teeth! She has some missing bottom teeth as well... so at this rate, if she loses anymore, she is going to look like an old lady nawing on her food with just her gums! :) She didn't have any teeth until she was 18months old and then they came all at once... so I suppose it is possible for her to lose them all at once too... hopefully not!
Love you Makayla!

A Leisure Family 'Fall' Day

What a beautiful day for getting lost and twisted in the corn maze at the Swore Family Farm. To start out our fun, the kids got their faces painted. Carson decided to have it look like he had been shot in the head.. I know, a little gory for a 6 yr old.. but that's what he had them draw.

Makayla looked like a kitty cat. I don't know what happened to the picture I took :(
They played some games and earned some candy for their pockets :) There was the bean bag toss... The candy walk...


A miniature maze for the toddlers that the kids whizzed right through...


Look at those handsome cowboys and sweet little cow...


Here is the beginning of our twisting and turning and circles and circles... The maze enterance.



To guide us through the maze, there are trivia questions throughout. If you have the right answer, then you will find another question. If you have a wrong answer, then you will hit a dead end and have to turn around.



We made it through! I still think there were some questions and answers in there that were wrong :) I mean, I couldn't have got that many questions wrong.. right??





We had a fantastic 'fall' day together as a family! I love the changing leaf colors and the festivities that come with the holidays! It brings us all closer again as our lives get busier and busier and I just love it!

One Handsome Guy and a Beautiful Gal!

Cameron and Myshella, you both look amazing! I hope you guys have an awesome night of dancing, laughing, and great fun at your Homecoming Dance!

Picture Day!

Carson has been dying to get a mohawk.. I compromised and let him get a fohawk!


He does look very studly! :)

I put Makayla's hair in curlers the night before.



It did NOT turn out the way I was hoping... she looked like shirley temple! I should have taken a pic but I was so panicked to get her hair to a normal state of being that I didn't have time.

Puppies!

Our puppies are growing up! They are 3 1/2 wks old now and the time is actually going by quickly.




Makayla and Carson are getting sooo attached to these little guys! They have 3 of them named already...
Meet Buster! and the little girl that looks exactly like him is named Lillie!



The lite tan pup is named Brownie! And one of the black ones.. I can't tell which one.. is name Lighting!



SO... Anybody out there who is just dying to have a sweet little puppy.. just give me a call!
