I forgot to mention the allspark...or whatever it is called...It is from the transformers movie...Well...My dad made one out of metal for Kole...Kole drew on it to look just like the allspark on the movie...and my brother programmed the computer machine thingy( yes..I am retarded) to carve it out..soooo cool! This hunk of metal is Koles pride and Joy! Kaden was so excited for his birthday...He woke up and came down stairs...with his birthday shirt on...then the ups guy came...bringing his present from grandma Kathy and PB...It was perfect timing! In the box were gumdrops...YUM...The kids call Seans grammy Loreen..Grammy gumdrop because she always gives them gumdrops.....The night before..Kole drew on a bag and then filled it with things that he had in his room...Kaden was so happy! So they played HAPPY BIRTHDAY! forever...

Pictures of the Birthdays...Halloween and anything else that has flown by without a blog...CATCH UP TIME!

Rileys party was at ALL STAR GYM..It was so fun! Her theme was SUPERGIRL...We laughed at her this morning...She took a flying dive off the bed and she was not happy..but we said..SUPERGIRL! ...She laughed and her booboo was all better...I will add her pictures today....then I am going to bed...this takes to long! ha ha

Kadens party was at Fun City..CHOAS! Not my kinda party...But the kids had fun...Next weekend is my birthday..We are having a party at my parents...But it seems like a bad weekend for everyone..which is fine by me! We can forget allllll about me and my big day! Which is actually the 7th....but oh well! We also got our tree up this weekend..it is HUGE...12 ft tall and WOW..It is a little bigger than I had imagined..but I like it...We have almost everything done as far as holiday decorating...gotta make a trip to Hobby Lobby tomorrow...But other than that..I think we are good! I bought everything at the end of last year...when it was dirt cheap...So proud of myself! I forgot I did it and when we opened things it was like....CHRISTMAS!! ha ha...I love Christmas..It is my FAVORITE! My hubby is Christmas lights nuts! I will have to get a pictures of the finished product!......Take care..K

It has been a long November!

Hey all! What a month so far! It has flown by so fast since Halloween..I am soooo behind! So far this month...We had some birthday stuff going on..then my grandmother passed away...that pretty much put everything on hold. It seems like just yesterday but it has been almost 2 weeks I think...I hate it...I never "really" dealt with not having her around until her funeral...It just hit me and I lost it....My mom on the other hand was so strong! I was amazed by her grace in it all...funny thing because she mentioned my gramma giving her some perfume..etc...named GRACE...My mom spoke about it at my grammas funeral..Yes..My mom got up in front of a crowd and spoke, without a tear..about the life of my grandma..and how she lived her life with such grace...I was in awe of my moms strength! Proof of God..Lifting you up and carring you when you are in need of strength.....WOW! I can't tell you how many times I have witnessed Gods presence in times like this...and always! If you really look around at life...ANYWAY.....My grandma is gone and the holidays are here...Thanksgiving was difficult...An empty place at the table~ It was just not complete this year....I am going to add some pics of the holiday...We went to my familys in Carthage..Got some pics of my dad and my aunt...trying thier best to open thier eyes wide for some pictures..So funny! They are so squinty...A pic of one of my many my cousins, her mom, her hubby with my dads aunt....Riley and my cousins little guy..almost the same age..so cute..they are great friends! J is so sweet! Ri takes advantage of it and she is such a little leader! He follows her with a smile and looks back at his mom...like.."she made me do it Mom!" He is a super sweet boy! Lots of pics of the day..The boys all played football and searched for monsters by the silos...then Sat we had traditional Thanksgiving at my parents house in Joplin. Oh...The sling looking thing on Ri...It is not real..she just hurt her arm and needed it wrapped up...so gramma took care of her..so cute! Take care! K

Today we explored!

Sean is out of town..so the kids and I had the day to ourselves...We went to church this morning with our neighbors...M&M and little A...It was the 1 year anniversary of our new building and our youth pastor returned from TX...He is great! Kole just loves him and his family. We had lunch at On the Border. It was yummy! They all got birthday Sundays..But no song..because everyone had left...Then the kids and I drove all over looking for a great place to explore and check out the fall leaves. We found an old bridge somewhere in Cave Springs...It is made of wood and I was scared to drive across it...Kole said I was a chicken...I agreed! It was fun..then we went to a party at Pump it up...Good end to a good day....Off to bed they go......Lets pray!
