Dylan turns 4

For Dylan's 4th birthday he wanted to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese. He loved dancing around with his friends. My dad and Karen chased him around for an hour playing games, so I guess you could say he had a great birthday! Thank you all for sharing in this special day with us.

Hard Times

I have been thinking alot about what to say and how I have been feeling since my grandmother passed away. The best way I could write down my feelings is through a layout. So here is my 2nd digi layout.

Aye, Aye Matey!

So for Halloween I volunteered myself to head up the neighborhood Halloween party. It was alot of work, but the kids had a good time. We had 5 hayrides, pizza and dessert. I was amazed how many people showed up. Our neighborhood is growing and it is fun to meet all the new people moving in around us. My girlfriend, Danielle pretty much took over my kiddos for the night because I was manning the pizza and Omar was driving one of the hayrides. I didn't get to see much trick or treating so Danni took a few pics for me. Although it is not Thanksgiving yet, I can't tell you how thankful I am for all my wonderful friends!

Fall Festival

So, this year has been pretty busy for me. I volunteered to head our school Fall Festival. Being a brand new school, we had to start from scratch. I had 2 wonderful friends who I talked into being my co-chairs. You guys are wonderful! I can't forget to mention their husbands Ernie, Dwayne and Brian who I always rope into helping me out. After months of prep and hard work, it is OVER! I have to say all went pretty well and things turned out pretty good. A few lessons learned for next year. A few pics to share of our day. Yes, that is Omar driving the kids around for the hayride and working the fishing booth. He was such an amazing helper throughout all of this!

Camping

To celebrate Rhonda's birthday we went on our first family camping trip. The boys had so much fun fishing, making smores, and hunting for any outdoor creature they could find. We all pitched in for food and it turned out so great. I have to say, Omar did pretty good stocking up on camping gear. I am excited to go again in the spring. Hopefully this time our air mattress will not deflate.

Women Of Faith

WOW! IS the best word to describe this weekend. I was so amazed at the women speaking at this conference. They are such an inspiration to all. Each has their own story that you can relate to. It was a wonderful weekend full of laughter and tears. If you have not checked out Anita Renfroe on YOUTUBE she is awesome! The momism video is funny but the Don't Breathe is even more hilarious. Thank you to all of you who made this girls weekend so much fun! http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=anita%20renfroe&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1

A new family member

GOT YOUR ATTENTION! No we are not having a baby..... Cameron has been wanting a pet. First it was a snake, then a lizard, then a Pac man frog, then a mouse(you know the white ones with red beady eyes) but in the end he decided on a guinea pig. My sister Ronda and her family bought it for his birthday. His name is Scratchy. We will see how long before it turns into an "old toy" and he doesn't play with him anymore.
