Scouty the Beautiful


While I'm at it, I better add the cutie little Scouty on here in her costume. She looked BEAUTIFUL. The girls wouldn't sit still, so this is the best I could get. :)

Mr. O...aka Brian Urlacher

Check out Mr. O's Halloween pics. (Scout started calling him Mr. O, so we all do now). Ignore the goofy dork holding him.

Madagascar 2--

I loved Madagascar 1 so I was pretty excited to see the second one. I took Kaydo & El to the opening Friday night at Robinson. We, of course, had to start the night at McD's with the Madagascar happy meals.

The movie.......it's okay, and the kids did pretty well for the first 45 minutes. After that, they were wanting to run around. Totally understandable. They were wanting to "move it, move it".
The scratch on El's face is from falling off the brick porch at my parent's. She climbs on the wall and thank God fell on the concrete step side instead of the 5 foot down landscaped brick side. I mean this girl has permanently scarred knees already...she's 2. I figure she'll never be Miss America (not that I was shooting for that anyway). I bet she would make an awesome wrestler.




Halloween 2008

This year's Halloween was a little strange. We planned on going out on trick OR treat night but Shay had the poops and El had snots so I thought I still had another good year of El not remembering what exactly trick or treating is so we stayed home. JB is home on Sundays so we did dress the girls up and golf cart around the neighborhood trick or treating.

El was a monkey which is very fitting. This girl will someday be the star of a circus. She'll be the one that does flips on the high wire.

Shay was a lion and quite frankly didn't give a crap about trick or treating or being covered by a stupid lion costume (her words). But, we did it anyway.



What's going on with 2008?

Wow. It's been a while since I've been here. School started and now it's almost over. I'm not complaining. It's been a great semester but I'm ready for the next one.

Gotta love JUCO. We have 16 weeks in a semester and we're down to only 4 more then finals. Ahh, this is when all of my schooling pays off.

Babysitter-on-backup


Shout out to my bud, Rbka Su. She asked me if she could watch my kids last Friday while I was at school & JB & JG were working on the house. The girl is awesome. My words were, you really want to? On your day off? Okay.


Well, she is an awesome mom with anyone's kids and El & Shay both loved her and had a blast. The boys said they heard Shay cackling outside and didn't know what Rbka did to make her so giggly. She's awesome and we are actually have a girl's night out tonight after the game and I can't wait to hang with my old pals again.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Captain

Mom & Dad decided about 2 months ago they wanted a pontoon boat. They did minimal searching and then mom hooked up with ole' Ebay. She found exactly what they were looking for for less than what they planned on paying. And, the location? Salem, IL. It was fate.

We took it out last Saturday since we are running out of time and warm weather to take a pack of kids on open water. Fun was had by all. Here's a pic of all the captains we had manning the ship. It was a good time. Can't wait until next year when we can drag a few kids behind it.

The best is when out of the blue, Kaydo says, "Hey Captain! There's a pirate ship over there!" Apparently it was something dad & K had worked out. It was cute. Dad calls him, "Sir" or "First Mate".



El only tried to open one of the doors and jump a couple of times.
