Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a GREAT time trick or treating. We did ours on Sunday. It was a beautiful day for tricks and treats.

It Finally Happened!

We moved into our home 6 years ago this November and it was just after moving in that Ron sat down and started drawing. He drew exactly what he wanted his yard to look like, right down to what type of flowers he wanted growing in his yard. So, 3 weeks ago, we woke up and decided, this was the weekend. We went shopping for the plants, the pond materials and the mulch. After breaking 2 shovels, we rented a rototiller and here is how it all took place.

They just keep growing.

Well, school's been in session for 6 1/2 weeks now and the kids are already asking when vacation is. I find it amazing that all but Courtney are in school all day. Sometimes I just want to stay home with them, crawl back under the covers and just hang out with them.

Christie is at that age now, when she asks if we can sit and snuggle, I would burn dinner just to have more time. And knowing that Courtney will be there soon, I just want every minute of these little years I have left to just hug and squeeze her and not let go.

So yesterday, when the kids came home from school, I found it amazing that their school pictures came in and I found myself just staring and asking myself, are they really getting this big??? They don't seem this old in real life, but when you look at the pictures, MAN ALIVE, I can't believe it. See for yourself, let me know what you think.

Here is Ashley, she still looks like my precious little girl. But look at Will, man, he has really come into his own. Isn't he handsome?

Winners and Losers!

Okay, so here is how the update goes.

Bears - LOSERS!!!!! Okay, let's make this as quick as possible. If these guys don't start working as a team, well, I think I will cry. I saw OU lose by one field goal with something like 3/10 of a second left and I couldn't believe it. OU is playing so great. They play like a team should play, they communicate and work great together. I suggest that Brad send Lovie some tapes (don't think that's cheating when the under classmen send the tapes to the big guys) and maybe they will learn something. Couldn't hurt - CAMP FAMILY - HINT HINT HINT !!!

USA Women's Team - WINNERS!!! YEAH!!!
They outscored Norway 4 to 1. It was a great game and an unbelievable way to go out. Brazil got killed 2 to 0 by Germany, yet the US Women were up there at the awards ceremony with smiles on and were so very proud to have taken 3rd place. I am so proud of them. They could have been in that 1st place and they know that, but they still smiled and were thankful for what they got. Brazil on the other hand - SORE LOSERS. That is all I have to say on that one. Better luck next time.

Welcome to the family!
