Halloween 2008

Halloween is NOT one of my favorite holidays! In fact I kinda hate it. Don't get me wrong I love playing dress up with my girls but with two girls we play dress up on a daily basis. With that said I did end up having a great time this year! I was going to dress up but my friends insisted! Not wanting to be the party pooper I threw together my witch costume last minute. The girls HATED it! I on the other hand enjoyed the fact that for once they weren't fighting over me and dad got lots of attention! Rayli kept saying, "take it off! Mom!" "It's NOT cute"! All in all I think it was a successful Halloween! Now on to Thanksgiving, my birthday and Christmas!!

Our New Wood Floor!!

My wonderful husband and awesome friends(Jordan and Tim) put this beautiful floor in last Saturday and I must say I AM LOVIN IT! (Sorry for the little heads but they are always just right there with me EVERY step of the way!)

One CRAZY, BUSY week.

Rayli's cool cast! She even picked out the colors ALL by herself!! I must say I was pretty impressed with her choices!

Rayli after her oh so wonderful ER visit. What a big splint! 

Okay Okay I'm updating! This month has come and gone with one big wirlwind! Between Rayli hurting her ankle, school midterms and our never ending fixer up jobs on the house, we've been busy to say the least! For those of you who don't know one of my kids I watch was throwing a very large tantrom and kicked the kitchen chair over right on Rayli's ankle. Boy did it swell up fast! I thought for sure she broke it! Thanks to great friends (thanks again amber and kachelle)who are always there to jump in and help I was able to take Rayli right to the ER! She was such a trooper and didn't even shed one tear but after 6 different xrays and 2 Dr visits she was getting a little irratted! It's okay Ray, I was too! After all that they said they were still not sure if she had fractured it and wanted me to take her to an orthopedic surgeon. So, they put one very LARGE splint on it and home we went!! She was so excited to be going home that as we where leaving she said "thank you, have good day" to everyone we pasted! What a tough sweet little girl I have!!

Lizzi and Rayli's favorite thing about the beach was the Seaguls! She loved to chase them!

Last week was one of the funnest weeks I've EVER had! Clint had a week long safety course for Robinson  Helicopters  in California. So, we rented a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and hit the road! For a MUCH needed VACATION! Clint only had to go to school till 4pm on Monday and than the rest of the days he got out around 12pm which left LOTS of time to play! AND that is exactly what we did! We went shopping, played at the park and of course we spent lots of time at the BEACH!
