Happy Halloween!

I have an adorable strawberry shortcake, a scary skeleton, and my husband. I think he was going for a Joe Dirt look but, unfortunately, it just looks a little to natural on him, nobody knew he was in costume!:)

Superbowl Champions!

JJ's PeeWee team won the superbowl today! It was a great season and he learned a lot, I'm just glad he survived with no injuries!

Parks and more

Today we took advantage of the nice weather and went to Holliday Park in Indy. I got a new camera for my birthday and today was my first good chance to try it out so, beware, lots of pics to follow!

Even Ryan got in on the fun!

We found several geocaches in the park.

Afterwards we stopped at Steak-N-Shake for dinner.

Followed up with a trip to Huddles, the kids and I loved it, Ryan was just miffed at the price!:)

A GREAT DAY!!!

First Day - Part Two

Today was Alli's first day of preschool. Not much is changing for her this year, same room, same teachers, same kids but she was still so excited! And so was I!!! 4 hours all to myself!!! I almost ran her out to the bus when it came!:)

With her backpack that is almost as big as she is!!

First Day of First Grade

Today JJ had his first day of first grade, I was more nervous than he was! I had a much harder time today than I did for kindergarten, it's hard for me to imagine him gone for 8 hours a day. However, a few hours into the day I was thinking, "I could get used to this!" Alli starts on Monday, then I will do a happy dance!:)

Football!!

JJ is playing football this fall. Not sure I'm ready for this!!!

Bear!!

We are in Gatlinburg, TN this week on vacation. I had one goal on this trip (besides having fun and relaxing), I wanted to see a bear. I knew we would be hiking in the mountains and I was just convinced we would find a bear........even though the rest of my family thought I was crazy! Today we were pulled over on the side of the road looking for a geocache and guess what was there............a huge black bear!!


This is a terrible picture but here is the bear trying to get into a house!

And here is the bear right before he started running towards us and we had to jump back in the van! Unbelievable!!!
