Fred's 9 Point Deer

Fred finally shot a 9 point deer with his bow! He was pretty stoaked! Way to go Fred! Now we will have "Alfred" on the wall ( the boys named him!)! Woo-Hoo!

Ryan and Landon love to draw on our easel! One side is dry erase and they other is chalk! They both were drawing Christmas scenes! Ryan drew the inside of our house, with a tree and presents and sanata and his sleigh on top of the roof! Landon and Dad drew pictures of the Abominable Snowman and other creatures!

Halloween Rocks!

Fred and I LOVE Halloween! Every year we have a party on Halloween and invite a bunch of people over to celebrate with us! We have food, drinks, fun & goodies for everyone! It is always a good time! This year Kevin surprised us and dressed as a WWE Wrestler- we about died when he showed up in his outfit- that was great! We took the kids Trick Or Treating and they had fun and got too much candy- more that half I took to work with me for the main office! I included the three pumpkins that we carved- Ryan did Dracula, Landon & Daddy did a ghost and I did the witch! I love carving pumpkins! :) There was a Halloween Parade at the kids school today- so I took a quick picture of Kennedy and one of Trish who is working there as well! She is a one on one aid for a Kindergarten student! Yay!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Clarence for Landon's Field Trip. It was fun but a cold day and muddy! Thank goodness the rain held off and we didn't get soaked! We started the day off by going on a hayride and seeing the pumpkin launcher! We went into the covered bridge and the kids all had to scream and I took a picture of Landon screaming- too cute! Then they let us off the wagons to pick a pumpkin- Landon picked the biggest two he could find- mind you they were still small just bigger than the other pumpkins... then the kids had their pictures taken as a group and then we saw the chicken show. Basically the show was a bunch of animatronic chickens singing and a sly fox- it was cute and Landon loved it. We left there and then the kids could go through a maze which thankfully Landon opted out of because it was a muddy mess! Then we went and fed goats and llamas. Then we washed our hands and had lunch! Then they played on the playground and it was finally time to go! Landon rode both ways on the bus and I drove. We got back in time to go pick up Ryan from school- Ryan thought it was awesome that I got to pick him up- I never can because of work! Anyway...it was a great day!

Ryan's Red Ribbon Project & Uncle B's Birthday!

Ryan had to make a project of himself again this year for Student Council and the Red Ribbon Project. They had to say what they could do to stay healthy. So we decided since it was so close to Halloween that we would decorate the piece of Ryan paper with a Pirate costume. We wrote in the bubble, "I stay healthy because I eat less Halloween candy and more fruits and veggies." It was cute and they hung it up as you come through the front doors! Kennedy and Cooper also did one too and both were very nice.
Also it was Uncle "B's" 40th Birthday! Happy Birthday Uncle B! We love you!
