More December

We had one get married. It was a great day. We love Brett he is so good to her. It was so cold as we took pictures. I carried around a coat and put it on Sarah in between shots. I thought she was going to freeze to death.

KIMMY'S HOME!!!!

We are so excited Kimmy is home! She had such a great experience out in New York, but it was time for her to come home and get back to school and real life.

 Our little sign to welcome her home.

 Everyone loves a good airport picture

 Her friends wanted to surprise her so they hid in her room. But they all park in front of our house.... not much of a surprise.  And the sign they didn't want to say welcome home so they just made up something that didn't make since.

Here they are on her bed

Discovery With The Boys

Today I got to spend another fun day with Zack and Brayden.  We went to Discovery Gateway Children's Museum.  We had so much fun. I didn't really know what to expect but they could have played there all day long.  I had only planned to stay there two hours because we had other things planned but we we had to go back after the other things for more fun.  After the first couple of hours at Discovery we went to McDonald's so we could get Megamind toys, which we only got Night at the Museum toys because they were out of the others. After McDonald's we went to see Megamind. It was pretty good. Then we went back to Discovery.  All in all I think we had a great day! I love those boys!!!

 They could have played in this ball section all day

 Brayden wanted to see and do everything

 Zack loved playing in the water

 This is for Big Papa so they can be Cowboys together

 Zack really loved all the hands on

     Brayden loved everything

                                                    

Movie and McDonalds always fun!

Cookie Fun For Halloween

My family humors me every year and comes over to decorate cookies for Halloween.  I sure missed Kimmy and Maegan this year. I realized that all the other kids decorate a couple and they did the rest.  I made everyone stay at the table until they were all decorated.  They just made for either plain or very silly cookies. I must admit that Cami did her best to make them cute. Love you all!

More Fun With The Boys!

We went to the Living Aquarium last Friday because the boys didn't have school.  We had such a fun day. After this we went to Wendy's and got some great helicopters in the Kids Meal and went home and played with them outside. It was great. I get to play with them tomorrow as well!

 This cracks me up, Zack was done and Brayden was just being funny.

This was just a beautiful rainbow the night of the Trunk or treat. I love rainbows!!
