Halloween Week

Justice is such a good little guy. He is taken to every event we go to. He is always smiling and cooing. Very rarely do we have the screaming melt downs in public. He saves those for late nights and early predawn hours.
JT had a Veterans Day half time show up at Holt Arena. The bands (8th grade and up), Cheerleaders, and Dance groups from all the school in town get together and perform. He is the drummer boy in red. He was one of the few 7th graders last year to perform at it. It sure was neat to watch.

We carved our pumpkins on Thursday. We had Aunt Leah, zach, maddie and Aunt Coriena and Jade and Kylie come and carve also. The kids saved the pumpkins seeds and I washed and roasted them. I think I am the only one eating them.

Jt won his match against Hawthorne. He literaly picked the kid up and slammed him down on the mat. It was so cool to watch. It was hard to take pictures I had to make sure he could hear me yelling to "FINISH HIM!"

Chase and Libby are finally done with soccer. They had a great season. The last game was freezing cold. Libby is the best Forward and Chase is an awesome goalie of the league.(In my opinion anyways and thats all that matters:)

What's been happening

Football has ended and JT has decided to wrestle. They practice every Mon. thru Fri from 3:30 to 6:00. He seems to enjoy it. His friend Billy is wrestling also and they happen to be in the same weight class so they have to wrestle each other to see who will have the varsity spot. The loser can then go up a weight class and have a varsity position. They really cool to watch the two of them go at it. Neither one wants to lose so they give it their all. Billy and JT were warming up when Billy bumped JT with his elbow in the eye to now he has a black eye. He looks like he was in a fight.

We had a family Halloween Party. JT and I went as KISS. Libby as Lady GAGA ,Hanna as a rabbit and Justice was a mouse. Chase not seen was a gold faced monster.(He disappeared when the cameras came out.

We went to Arbon to see Grandpa Elmer. He loves babies. Jessi and I went out one day just for a couple of hours to go see him so he could enjoy them. Kabree didn't like the fact she was sharing Grandpa's lap with someone else.

We have one more soccer game and then its onto Basketball for Libby. Chase's Basketball won't start until December. NO THERE IS NO REST FOR THIS FAMILY!!!!

Hanna's Birthday

Hanna turns 4 on Oct. 5 but due to the fact we have Football practice 6-8 and a Soccer game 6:30 to 7:30 and Scouts 7:30-9 we celebrated it early. Once again Grandma Jane to the rescue. She make the most wonderful, best tasting cakes ever. What would we do with out her??

When there isn't something going on we are trying to get the house ready to sell. I have painted and shampooed JT's room and I am now working on the Girls room. What a mess. I can't wait for it all to be put back in its place an done. Chase will be tackled soon also.

HECTIC life

My kids love to play with fire. This time we made them start is the old fashion way.

My kids are the ones with blue and red socks

JT is the center. Yes the one with the other guys hands between his legs :(

Sorry its been so long but life has once again got away from me. Four nights a week we have football practice and once a week we have scouts, soccer practice, and acheivement days. Yes this is more activities then there are nights of the week. LOTS of things overlap. Poor little Justice spends a lot of time in his car seat traveling from one place to the next. Saturday is no different. We have two games (one Football and one Soccer) every Saturday until the 17th of October then only soccer til Oct. 31st. Then basketball starts!!!

We did take time to go up to Scout Mountain and have a BBQ. They all practiced starting a fire using flint and steel while Justice and I enjoyed the campfire started with matches. It took some time but they did it and they roasted marshmellows over there fires.
