Happy Halloween!

Today was an extremely fun day! I wanted to make it super special for the kiddos, so we had a festive day. We started the morning off with pumpkin orange cinnamon rolls, complete with a spider banana. We then went to a special lunch at our favorite chicken place, can you guess which one? And then for dinner we had a pumpkin pizza and salad! Finished off with decorating homemade cupcakes! Life doesn't get better than that!! Then we got all dressed up in our gear and went to our neighborhood party and then trick-or-treating. We finished the night off at our churches trunk or treating and then came home and crashed. It was as Logan said, "A Totally Awesome Night!"

Rylan's pumpkin

My sweet precious daughter makes me laugh numerous times a day. Today I had parent teacher conferences with her teachers. She is doing great and they love having her. They showed me this pumpkin she had colored that day. It was a directive coloring, meaning that the teacher gives instructions and they color what she tells them to. So, here is Ry. As the teacher is telling me the following I could not decide how to react, so I resorted to laughter.
Teacher: Class color your jack-o-lantern orange. Color the stem green, and the eyes and mouth yellow. She then explained how the light would show through that part.
Rylan:Mrs Karen, I can not color my mouth yellow. I am not allowed to have yellow teeth!
As many know, I am very into teeth. I make sure the kids brush their twice a day, and mine at least a million...just kidding. ANYHOW....The teachers had a good laugh and
That just made me laugh!
SIDENOTE: Speaking of laughter. Tonight I visited our churches website. Which I love by the way, and noticed a pastor tab. I personally loved the youth pastor. He sure was a cutie. His interests made me laugh. Whoever thought of that, BRILLIANT!

Harvest Fun

Recently we went to a fun party to kick off the harvest season at our friends James and Dawns house. The kids had a blast doing all of the different activities. There was a bonfire, and Logan enjoyed jumping on the trampoline. Rylan painted her pumpkin very intensely, and enjoyed the fire with us. Here I am just taking my normal pic. Lovin' life!

What a great night!

Florida trip



I am back from my trip to Florida. The conference was great. I learned a lot and came back refreshed and renewed and ready to get crack-a-lackin....here are a couple of pictures from the trip. It was fun hanging out with Sarah and Heather. We also met Tracy, a woman from southern Indiana. She was a blast. I will post more pics later. Kinda tired now, Pammy.

Zoo Boo

This past Sunday we went to Zoo Boo. The kids had a blast, and the zoo is decorated so cool. It was a great couple of hours with the fam. Early in the day my friend Heather Painter and I took our churches fourth and fifth graders out for their quarter reward. They had a blast. We went on a corn maze, it was their first time...they sure are FUNNY! They made me very proud by working super hard the past couple of months to be able to go on the trip.


Just for you Paul, as promised. Your wife in the corn.

Then, I promise, I will blog some awesome pics. Maybe even like 5 posts at once....how is that Shelby? I told him to feel free to log on and go at it one day, guess he does not care that much. Check back later. :)

Mama

As most of you know Shelby's grandmother, Mama, passed away this past Sunday morning. It has been a rough week. Shelby had a truly wonderful relationship with his grandma, and I loved her and the kids absolutely adored her. Rylan will forever think she is a movie star because that is what Mama called her. Mama was loved by so many. It was absolutely amazing listening to people talk about her at the service today. She was so wise and full of such spunk, never have I met someone with more spunk than her. She was a truly incredible woman, loved by so many, and will be missed tremendously. She left an incredible legacy for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
