Halloween Fun!

What fun it is to have a whole day of Halloween! We started out the morning with a soccer game but quickly got home to start the fun. We carved the pumpkins and they were our best ones yet! The boys did a great job cleaning them out and David did the carving. If you know my boys well, there is no way they can be around each other with a knife so Daddy did all of the carving! We had some friends over for chili and mummy dogs for dinner. I didn't get any pictures of that unfortunately! When the sun went down, we headed out! After the last treat was handed out, we hung out with our neighbors around a fire pit and let the kids run WILD! A great night!


Jackson was a dirtbike rider, Charlie a UPS man, and Camryn a 50's girl.

Dear Time: Please Slow Down!!!


It pains me to say that my little girl has turned ONE! She has been such an easy little girl and has been so much fun. She loves to dance, laugh, watch her brothers, kiss her puppy, love on mommy, and swing outside. I can't imagine life without Camryn and although it's been interesting adding a baby to our crazy household, she has given each of us a joy we would have never had. We love you sweet Cami girl!

On her "real" birthday, we met Daddy at the mall. (isn't that where all girls want to spend their birthday?) She rode on the carousel for her first time and wasn't quite sure about it!


On to her party! We had a fiesta complete with fajitas, cake and a pinata. We had lots of fun and were so glad to share the fun with friends and family!




Two of her three great-grandmas were there too!


Cake Time! She was much more dainty than the boys were. She loved it though!



Pumpkin Patch...

I have to settle for 3 separate pictures at the patch this year. It just wasn't going to happen to get them all 3 together. That requires one of the boys to hold her and look anywhere in the vicinity of the camera and well, it doesn't happen!





This picture is on here simply because I love the back of her dress!

Major Catch-Up

I have been horribly bad at updating the blog. Here is a major recap of what has been going on since the start of school. Quite frankly, it's been pure chaos! We have literally been at a practice or game every day of the week. Thankfully, the rain has given us a little break lately. The boys have done well but are tired! I think they will enjoy a little break when football is done in the next couple of weeks! Camryn is doing great. An absolute joy and quite a trooper as she spends way too much time at some type of sports field. I will post our pumpkin patch and her birthday pics tomorrow!



Jackson is playing soccer. His team is the Pumas. They have played together for many seasons. They have done really well and are undefeated so far this season. They are also playing up an age group so that is quite an accomplishment!





Jackson has also played his first year of tackle football. His team is the Sampson Seahawks. He is the smallest little guy on the team but he doesn't care. He plays mostly noseguard and is usually up against the biggest guys on the other team. He's tough and has made some good tackles. He is having a blast with it!


Charlie is of course still playing baseball as this is his love. The Cyclones had another great season and made it to the Championship game again but unfortunately didn't end up on top. A second place finish isn't too shabby!





Charlie is on the Sampson Seahawk Flag team. He has had fun even though the team didn't do all that well. He has learned quite a bit about the game and that's what is important, right?? Well, winning is much more fun but...


If the above is not enough, somehow they find time to sneak off to the track too. They finished Round 1 of the "Mini Wars" and came home with some hardware. Dad is happy!



Cam is crawling, laughing, spitting, getting close to walking, and eating a ton. She's still a peanut even though this little girl eats and eats and eats. More on her in the next post as we just celebrated her first birthday!

Camryn's Baptism

We celebrated Camryn's baptism on Sunday. We were joined by Mimi, Papa, Gramps, Kimmy Lou, Mops, Pops, Jaime and Michael. I was hoping that maybe they could run the boys through again - I think they need a baptism booster!! We had a great time and enjoyed some laughs, food, and yummy cake at home. We love you Camryn!!

99 years!


Our "Nonnie" just turned 99 this week! This is Ron's (my stepdad) mother. She does so well as you can see. The party was at the Walden Yacht Club and the singer had quite a group dancing for her. The kids loved it. Nonnie and Ron danced to "The Way You Look Tonight". It was sweet. The Kiehl's were in town for the party and it was so good to see them. They are all three so absolutely delightful and so grown up. Happy Birthday Nonnie! We can't wait for the big 100!!
