2008 Halloween Pumpkins!

We did our traditional carving of the pumpkins tonight. I am not sure what I will do when Brynlee starts carving her own. I love carving pumpkins! This is the first year I was a good mom and did NOTHING to the boys pumpkins and gave no instructions or "helpful tips." I think they turned out great! We had a great time until Brynlee tried walking off the deck then it was into the stroller she went. I am telling you she is going to be the death of me yet!!! I always laugh no matter how often I tell the boys to make them simple they always try and make them really detailed and then wonder why it takes them an hour to carve and me only 15 minutes. Enjoy the pictures and Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

Surprises are the BEST!!!!!

Brock's birthday is coming up and my grandpa and his wife decided to surprise him with a gift in the mail. If you know my grandpa you know he likes to practical joke all the time. I was a little nervous when he said have a camera ready when he opens it to catch his reaction. My first thought was some animal is going to jump out at him. Then Judy got on the phone and told me it was safe and I trust her!!! It came today in the mail and I knew by this time what it was. I had camera in hand and this is what happened....................

Thanks Buddy and Judy it was definately a HUGE hit!!!!!!!!

NOPE!

You guessed it the first day back at work and guess who called....................the middle school nurse. Yep Bryson got it yesterday. The only good thing, Tim is at home today around the farm and I don't have to stay home. We will try and do our pumpkins tonight. I am going to let Brynlee dig out her own jack o lantern! This should be a fun and messy night! I will try and post some pictures tonight! If not Happy Halloween Eve all!

Could it be.......are we FINALLY getting better?!!!

After one whole week of sick kiddos I think we are finally on the mend. We went from croup to a respiratory infection, to hand and foot with Brynlee. Then Brock came down with his own invention on Sunday. I think we are finally rounding the corner for home.......school is insight.......I can see it.......smell it........almost taste it!!!!!!!!! I can not wait to be out of this house for more than just a doctors visit! If Bryson gets sick I am moving out!
*Update- It is now 7:00pm and Brock has a temp again:-{ No school for him tomorrow. Guess I better charge the portable dvd player for the combine!

We were doing our happy dance of going back to school tomorrow. The jury is still out on Brock we are 16 hours fever free and counting! He can stay with dad and ride in the combine if he is home tomorrow! I am outta here!!!

I LOVE BIRTHDAYS when can I do this again!!!!

My brother and his family came this past weekend so we had a little birthday party for Brynlee late Saturday night. She had a ball with Jack and Hannah. We did the traditional free for all with the birthday cake and lets just say she is a SUGAR girl! The pictures tell the story from the night! I attached a little video of the cake tasting!

Poor Baby!

My little sicko snoozing in her swing.

I am home today since Brynlee is not feeling well. She has been pretty good but a little whiny. Right now she is sleeping in her swing. I wish she could get over this respiratory virus it has been hanging on for two weeks. Just thought I would do a few posts since I have a few minutes while she is sleeping.

Football at Lucas Oil Stadium!!!!!

Bryson and his women!!


The "official Colts Fan" he told us it was official now that he has been to a game.

Doesn't it just look cool to be on the field!

Thanks Tanya for this shot!!

2008 Olympia Varstiy Team

Bryson and Brock had a GREAT day at the Colts game. The Colts won which made it even better. Brock is a huge Colts fan so this was the ultimate day for him. Bryson is a Dolphins fan so he said "it would be better if the Dolphins were playing." Tim and I promised to take him to a Dolphins game next time they were in the area and he told us no............it had to be IN Miami!! Tim didn't argue too much considering he is a huge Dolphins fan too! We hit the road early in the morning and had a really quiet bus! The other buses were really loud. The first thing Bryson saw when we walked in was the Cheerleaders. He went over immediately to get their autographs!! He was so funny and giddy with them it was hilarious! Then of course we had to hit the souvenirs stand. Thanks to PaPa and Buddy who gave the boys some spending cash. We watched the Colts game and then it was time for the Spartans to take the field! The boys were exhausted before they even hit the field but played a good game. It was pretty cool being down on the field.
I asked the boys what their highlight of the day was. Brock was flipping through the Colts end zone. Bryson with a HUGE smile on his face said "THE CHEERLEADERS", my baby is growing up! The highlight for us was the smiles on their faces. We had a great time!

This was Brock's ultimate dream, flippin through the colts end zone!!! Maybe someday he'll be in a Colts uniform.............hey a mom can dream!

The Cutest Lady Bug Ever!

We got Brynlee's Halloween costume last night! Could she look any more adorable? I know I am her mom and a little bias but come on she is so cute in this thing!

Football, Football, and more Football!

One of the cutest Spartan fans!!!

Since August we have been in full swing with football. Practice is three nights a week and since both boys are playing we have games on Saturday and Sunday! Bryson and Brock are both doing great. Bryson has an awesome set of coaches and is loving this year. Brock is not too sure but I think we have him convinced to try it again next year. Next week Bryson's team is playing at the Indianapolis Colts stadium. That should be really cool! I thought I would share some pictures from their games since I had a little extra time to blog today. Princess is still sick and sleeping right now so I thought I would hop on.
