 Wes and Ryann ready to trick or treat

 Sling shot is daddy's favorite

 My tractor loving baby girl.....in shorts and boots no doubt!

 Wes just loves a good photo op!

Got the bull by the horns.


This years festivities have been more low key. I was still able to get out some decorations, but next year I hope that I can get it all together and have the haunted yard I always have dreamed of. ;) No...I don't care if I scare little children...especially my own.....muwhahahahahahaha. Wes is the best to scare....Ryann is no fun....she already gets it. She just karate chops the witch and kicks the scary looking things...NO FUN. She was actually scaring me in the Maize.....jumping out of the stupid corn and screaming at me. We went when it was a LOT darker than we normal have gone. YES....I get scared of the corn maze after dark! Also...if you ever want to watch a scary movie with me....I have been told I am more entertaining than the movie! Now that I have confessed....seems pretty strange that I love to scare the crap out of other people. Not really...I think it is my coping mechanism. :P I actually got to dress up and Lewis did his part too. I was a gold digger and he was the money man....I suck, because I didn't get any pics. And then of course...the previous post happened. So next year people...next year. :)

Lost but not forgotten

 I-Spy

 Swim Party

The Plant vs. Zombies cake

 1st day of school

 OK...I had to add in a pic of the dog :)

 Ryann is a mini Lewis....she is ALWAYS outside doing something!!!

 Look at him....he couldn't be more proud!!

 My black kitty....no wonder I have bad luck ;)


I stumbled upon some pics I forgot to blog about. Imagine that...ME forgetting something. I guess I get caught up blogging about nothing that I forget about the big somethings that happen. Seriously....someone needs to keep track of me! ;) So I managed to find the pics of my I-spy squares which I am making a secret project out of. And I found Wes' b-day party. Nothing like renting out the swimming pool for 8 people!! I think summer b-day kids are totally gypped! (especially August babies whose b-days fall about a week or so before school starts!) Thank God my brother had so many dang kids!! INSTANT B-DAY PARTY! ;) Of course I can't forget about the first day of school pic! I know....I am an awesome blogger! ;) I guess in a perfect world I would have it all together....hahaha I learned at an early age that life isn't perfect, so I guess I am right on track! Hopefully I can get a little better. I have big plans and I want to share as much as I can about all the changes that will be happening. I guess I had better hone in my skills and become more regular about this blog. My "followers" may start to drift away. So until my next fabulous find...ENJOY. :)

No Longer Safe....

I have really debated on sharing this with the world, but I finally decided that if the world is going to really know why I went crazy, then it ALL must be talked about. I have been in a pickle lately going through lots of personal (isn't that nice that I keep MY personal business my own) stuff. So what that means is that I have had to travel for doctor visits for myself and for my son Wes. Needless to say, I think that I need company when I go. I should probably rethink that after this last trip to the city. My whole little family went for a quick trip to see the eye doctor for Wes....Ryann actually maintained herself quite well...it was Lewis who was a mess. We got up early and headed out, made the visit, stopped at only one place to pick something up, and went to lunch. Pretty simple, right? At lunch, after all the other stops, I walked behind my husband to fill my plate at the buffet. There it was, sticking out for the whole world to see....his tag from his shirt. So I said, "What the heck is that doing sticking out like that." Trying hard to fix it, then slowly realizing that it wasn't a problem with the tag. OMG....his shirt was INSIDE-OUT!!!!!!!!!!! ALL DAY LONG. To which he said, "I wondered why I was having a hard time getting the collar to lay down right." I was laughing so hard. I swear I am trying to manage a bunch of loons around here! I asked him if I could take a picture of it...he said, "Why? So you can blog about it?" Hell yeah, I'm gonna blog about it....I can't pass up moments like that so you all can see the trauma inflicted upon me daily! ;) So I guess he won't be wondering too much about why I am eyeballing him as we leave the next time.

Young Eagles

Wes had the opportunity to take a ride in a two-seater airplane today. It was fun watching him go and have an adventure. It seemed to take forever, but he was so glad that he did it. This will be something he will remember forever.

 Wes and Ryann by the plane

 Wes trying to help with the balloon launch (he was too short, but I made him stand there anyway to get a pic)

 He was excited, I was freaking out...he was happy that was all that mattered :)

 taxiing down to the runway

 There he is...my little speck in the sky

 Flying with the birds :)

 Safely back on the ground

 It was worth it for the smile afterwards

Thank you Mr. Rydman!
