Bunko



Last night was bunco reunion with my great group of friends from high school. We have fell of the wagon and decided that playing monthly has gotten impossible with everyone now having kids and the busy lives that we all have with our children. I miss these girls so much and had so much fun catching up with them. We were missing a few, but we had a great time! I am hoping that we can start slowly to try and get back into a bunco outing every few months!

In live I think that most of us have learned that true friends are hard to find. I don't talk to all of my girlfriends on a daily or weekly basis, but I know that I could pick the phone up and call any of these girls anytime and they would listen and I hope they know the same holds true here. I am grateful for the chance I have had to have had these great girls as friends for many years.

Thanks Kendra for the picture, we all need it for our scrapbooks so we can remember our conversation and know we don't look a day over 25!

Halloween 2009


Brie was so excited to get to see Aubrie, they stay at Mrs. Karen's together before she goes to preschool!




MarySelle "Dorthy", Zac "todo", and Brie the ladybug!

Just what Ms Chatterbox, needs... a stick of sugar!
Brent and Bailey decided that they were too big to trick or treat and rather hunt all afternoon instead! BRie had a great time though!

Pumpkin Carving
















We finally got our pumpkins yesterday and carved them. They made sure to pick out the biggest ones they could find!





Notice in today's pictures with their pumpkins they had to have some paint for their hair!

Zoo Boo
















We went to Zoo Boo this past weekend with lots of our friends from school. Many of my friends that I teach with have kids that are the same ages as mine so it works out great! All the kids had a great time even though Bailey was mad that the new part wasn't open because he really wants to see the Elk now that they are out! Maybe we'll have another nice day that we can go down and see them!

Fall Break


Not much was accomplished during Fall Break like I had hoped. We were actually quite lazy, especially since it rained everyday except for Wednesday! Wednesday was a beautiful day for the zoo and me and the kids had a great time. The new exhibit at the zoo is very nice, and the kids loved seeing the bears and running through the water sprays.
We did get a few things accomplished though, hopefully our yard cut for the last time, Maisy got fixed:) and groomed, and I got lots of homework done.

Brie the beautician?


Brieanna played so well back in her room this morning while I was doing my homework in the den. At one point she came in the den and was talking to me and I looked, then looked again, and said "WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR!?" she responds, "I cut it, I'm sorry." I didn't yell, hey I once did it myself. Guess I should have expected it to happen at some point. She has done it once before, but it was on the side and just one little piece she cut.
I guess that she thought she needed some bangs, cause she sure cut her some!
