Happy Birthday Austin (Oct. 29th)











We celebrated Austin's birthday this weekend. He'll be 11 on Wednesday. We had lots of kiddos and of course the weather was not in our favor. We had the carport darken out and bobbed for apples, played some games. The rain did hold off for a few games, but the heavens opened up at one point and our carport isn't that big. Austin had fun though and I guess that is all that matters. I'm glad it's over and next year it's NOT at my house!! We have big plans for Halloween, so check back.

Getting ready for Halloween!









Well it's been a crazy month of October. Today Russell and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary, we also celebrated my birthday and Austin's is just around the corner. He will be 11 on the 29th which makes me feel really old. We always let the boys decide what they want to do for their party or instead of a party and this year Austin's decided to do a Halloween party at the house. Yeah for me...20 11year old boys and girls running crazy...can't wait. We are decorating the house and blacking out the carport and have all kinds of spooky decorations. We'll play the "traditional" halloween games and I've got them glow sticks so they can play man-hunt in the dark.
Not only are we getting ready to party this weekend, we are also going to Great Wolf Lodge on Thursday. If you've never been to GWL you should go. We are very lucky to have one in our area. It's an indoor waterpark/hotel and tons of fun. We are going with our friends and plan on having a great time. Russell will be missing out, he will be out of town on Air Force time this week, so but we'll be thinking of him.

I'll have lots of pictures of all the activities, but in the mean time here are a few.
