Fall Festival, Halloween Costumes, & last weekend

My Little USA Football Player

My Green Ranger
My Two cute kids in their costumes.

Well the very next day after my last post I went to party city after picking Daniel up from Cindy. I ended up getting 2 costumes & not just one (of course). I couldn't explain to Daniel why he couldn't have one & so I just went ahead & caved in. Pictures of the Green Power Ranger & the USA football player will be added soon. Oh and I found the shirt I thought we had gotten rid of in the closet (it was hiding from me). Now Daniel has 2 shirts, one that we had & the other is a "pumpkin shirt" from Mother's Day Out when they went to the Great Pumpkin Patch last Thursday (maybe Brandi got some good pics-we shall see).

Our church had their annual Fall Festival this past Saturday. I was bad and didn't sign up to help but I did bring candy & drinks & I TRIED to bring friends but they ended up not being able to come :(. It was soo much fun this year. We stayed probably about 2 hours or less and the kids had some great fun. They, well Daniel, was soo tired. He fell asleep pretty quickly that night.
We had also planned on going to Old Baker Farm on Saturday morning, but God had other plans for us and we (well Daniel & I) ended up going to see my Grandmother, Grandfather, & Uncle instead. It was great seeing them and being able to spend some time with them. AND Daniel was able for the first time to be alone with Mama Jo and play with her. He seemed to enjoy his one on one time with her & she seemed to enjoy this time she had with Daniel.

Last Wednedsay & Sunday was extended choir rehersal time & so we felt like we hadn't even left the church from Saturday evening to Sunday morning to Sunday evening--I guess its a good thing we live so close ;-)

I guess that is all for now... I do have some news (don't know if it's exciting) but I'll save it for when I know something for sure. If you want to make guess feel free... Bye for now

A look into our lives...

Hello all :)



Well Halloween is upon us (mostly 2 more weeks!!) and as always I don't have any costumes for my kids. I do think that Daniel will most likely wear one that we already have from David (Yay for hand-me-downs!!) So that just means that I have to purchase a new one for David. Not sure what he wants or anything. I'm sure that it will come to me (hopefully soon). Our church's annual Trunk or Treat Fall festival is next Saturday (on the 25th) @ 6:00 p.m. So I need to figure it out soon huh? Other than that David does have a "halloween" t shirt that he can wear to school, but (this time it's switched) Daniel does not have one to wear to school. I have honestly thought about just buying a regular black t-shirt & getting some white fabric paint & doing that ghost thing with his foot (who thinks this is a good idea?), but I'm not sure what I'm going to do.



O.k. so this past week was homecoming week for UAB (GO BLAZERS!!) and they had this past whole week with lots of plans (of course). Well, I had an appt with my Doc on Friday (more on this later) so I deceided to take Daniel to the parade on that Friday. So we get up on Friday morning get David off to school & its sprinkling so I was like they'll probably cancel the parade (which they did) so no UAB parade for Daniel =(.



On the note of UAB, I'm doing pretty decent in my math class. I'm sooo relieved. I'm awful at math but the way they have it set up you wouldn't know it =-). I was so distracted before my 2nd test (it was on this past Wed 15th) so it was hard for me to "study". I actually did better than the first one!!



Oooo, Daniel is pretty much potty trained now (Yay!!!). This past week he only had like 2 accidents and that was earlier in the week. I am SO proud & happy see... =-]



Last weekend I went to a sweet couple's wedding. Naomi & I drove down to T'town (yes I did go there & DIDN'T get hurt!!) found this beautiful home where they were married and stayed forever. It was very beautiful & it was wonderful to see these 2 friends that I never get to see anymore. This weekend we really didn't do anything. We rested all weeked long!

Joe's New Ride!!

Well yes folks, Joey got himself a new car about a week or so ago. It is really nice car that just needs a tune up and that is it. He has to (of course) get the tag changed over and everthing else and that is taking some time. He was soo frustrated one day about all of it.



Well anyways, here are the pics of the car I took so all of our bloggy friends can see it.

Two birthday celebrations, a soccer game, & the church picnic

Tired after a full day

Well our weekend (at least Daniel's & mine) started on Thursday night when we went to one of Daniel's Sunday school's friends birthday party at Pump It Up in Trussville. David went with us and he had an awesome time also. Daniel was SOO tired that he went to sleep by 8:30 that night. Poor little thing MDO, Wal-Mart, then a party at Pump it Up no wonder why he was fighting with his brother on the way home. David loved getting out the energy that he had bottled up and he slept well that night also.

Friday was a great day too. Cindy & I got to eat out at Milo's (like we used too). We had our kids that weren't at school but that was ok. It was still great fun. Daniel was still so tired that he took a long nap on Friday too. Oh, by the way, if you're wondering about potty training he has done an ok job. On this particular day he did an awesome job :-D I was soo proud of him. Friday night I worked on my homework and then went to bed sort of early.

David "watching" Mark play

Mark playing soccer Daniel playing "soccer" & Caitlin cheering

On Saturday we went to watch Mark play soccer in Springville. I did this because I wanted him to see if he thought he might would want to play. The plan backfired on me though and all he did was complain. He AND Daniel complained about the heat, being hungry & thirsty, & wanting to go home!! I felt so bad because Mark had invited us & all they did was complain about it all. I'm thinking soccer is NOT in our future (haha). Although, I already knew that. They both want to take swimming lessons & then possibly find a swim team for them both. Daniel might like to play soccer, b/c he likes kicking the ball around & everything.

David @ Bradford Park Daniel @ Bradford Park

Sunday we went to church (while there we heard an awesome message about knowing God will answer our cries) and then went to Bradford Park for the church's annual picnic. The food and company was awesome, but lots of ants & yellow jackets. Afterwards, we went to my Grandmother's 80th birthday celebration. It was nice to be around the family and listening to our foundest memories of Mamah. She got a lot of great Auburn gifts & shirts that she can wear. We love you Mamah & Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Okay I guess that is all for now. Hope you have a blessed week ;)
