Mindy Concert.

Sat Night, Carli and I and my new sweet friend, Tiffany went to see Mindy Gledhill in concert. It was awesome! Carli was quick to tell Jon all of the funny things that Mindy said on stage and I added that I thought that she had such a charismatic personality. You couldn't help but love the person behind the songs!

Okay- even though THIS FABULOUS photographer took a beautiful picture- sometimes there is just no helping me take a lovely pic. Good thing everyone else looks awesome!-lol

Soccer.

Bridger started soccer at the beginning of the fall. None of the kids were really ever in soccer (Nolan and Carli took it for about a month- but only practices, no games.) So we were all excited to watch Bridge in soccer. It took him awhile to get into it- but he finally did and kicked the ball a few times each game. (I think at one time he even scored a goal). He was so funny in these pics. He saw me with the camera and posed on the field. (I don't think the ref was too happy about that) oops!



Bridger had 2 jerseys that he wore for home and away games. (Even though it was the same field everytime) Jack saw that Bridger was getting all suited up for his big game and wanted to wear Bridgers other jersery. I didn't realize at the time that he thought that since he had the shirt on, he thought hewas playing. He ran out onto the field when Bridger did and was pretty dang unhappy when we pried him off and made him sit on the sidelines.
Bridger just had his last game on Wed. and now won't play again until Spring.

Halloween 2010

We wanted to thank Gramma Sharon for sending lovely Halloween packages for the kiddos. They sure enjoyed them!
(These suckers had me giggling too!)
Who ya' gonna call????
Ghostbusters! I felt bad for Nolan. When we went trick or treating at night- everyone called Nolan a "Camper" It was mostly older people that knew he was a Ghostbuster. But he had a good attitude about it. Bridger and I were walking around TJMAXX and saw this army man. I was a little disappointed at first until I saw the character in the costume. It was more a army look from way back. (Plus muscles)It was Vintage-like. It is hard to tell from the pic but I love the belt that cinched at the waist and left a little overhang on the shirt. It was so cute.Jack was just gonna be one of the 100,000 old costumes that we have when I went to a party store to visit with a friend (about visiting teaching) and saw that these costumes where only $5. He put it on that day and we still fight him to take it off. (He likes to wear his Buzz Jammies under it) Jack at the church party on Fri- he was so tired and so mesmerized by all the costumes!
Carls wanted to be some kind of warrior. She came to me with the idea of an Indian warrior. Carli's costume was found at a second hand store and was in perfect shape except it was an adult's costume. I had to take it in a bit but turned out nice in the end. While we were trick or treating she was called "Pocohontas" by several people. I could tell she didn't like that too much.- (poor thing.) My Fab Four!
The Candy Stash!!!! Hope you had an eventful Halloween!!!

Halloween Party 2010!

This year THIS gal threw a (adults only) Halloween party (Click HERE and HERE to see past years) The theme was black and white. I thought forever and finally settled on 1920s Gangsters for our costumes. I couldn't find a sort of 1920's women's suit so Just went as a flapper to accompany Jonny's Ganster (minus the tommy-gun) I made my dress and headband and made Jon's vest but otherwise bought everything else.

(Me having fun wit' it!)Da Girls!!!
I came out of the bathroom with my fake (feather) eyelashes and asked Jonny if they were put on right. He said, "They just look weird." I guess at least I got a straight answer (hee hee)
It was a great night. Thanks Debbi!!!
