Halloween

We had a great Halloween, Zach loved "ATTACKING" the pumpkin and rolling it around the living room. We had fun carving pumpkins and going to the trunk or treat and also trick or treating to some houses. Kids got a lot of loot and were so happy.

Josh was a Vampire, Aaron was spiderman, Tyler was a knight, Alycia a beautiful fairy, and Zach was a furocious LION!

Our poor lion gave up and fell asleep, what a hard night he had, but oh how he loved getting candy.

First Snow

We had our first snow storm today, woke up with an inch of snow. Zach thought he wanted to go outside, but then quickly changed his mind. Alycia couldn't get dressed fast enough to get out and play, she played all day, and was sad to see it melting. By the time the boys got home from school it was pretty much all gone, but pretty while it lasted.

My Gymnast

Alycia loves gymnastics, so I thought I would share her joy. She loves the trampoline and learning the right way to do flips (somersaults) front and back. She Also loves being high up on the high bar. She is so excited to go every week. So here is my little gymnast.

Huskers

Ed and I got tickets to the Nebraska Corn Huskers game. This is the first time I had been to a Huskers game and it was fun, really neat to see so much red in the stadium, people really love their huskers. The sad thing is we got squashed by Missouri, it was an aweful game to be truthful, really painful to watch 17-52 OUCH!! But was so fun to be with Ed and have time to talk. Herbie Husker, isn't he cute.

Kids are SO cute

Zach loves to climb under the table he thinks it is so fun, UNTIL HE GETS STUCK!

Zach is so cute, I peeked in on him today and couldn't resist taking a picture. He looks so big.
The kids love to play with Zach and put him in things, but his favorite is the laundry baskets and them dragging him around the house. Kids are the best, love them.

Thought this was so cute, Ed took a half day at work so he could change the timing belt on our car. After he was done he asked Tyler to help him put the antifreeze back in my car. I thought it was so cute Tyler helping his dad.

A day with friends

We spent a day at a friends house on the lake. The kids had a lot of fun playing on the lake, hot tub, and trampoline. She asked me if I jumped, I said well it has been years but I used too. It was so fun to play around and do necks and backs and flips, I was shocked I could still do back flips at my age. Kids were shocked too, guess they haven't seen me flipping around before.



This was so cute of Zach and the dog looking at eachother, Zach knows he is safe with the glass between them as the dog likes to lick him to death and knock him over, but oh so priceless.

Kids loved the little boat, and paddling around, but the Saturn ball was great, you try to climb it and not fall off, but if one leans or falls then you all do, very tricky.


Look at that veiw of the lake, so nice. We had a great time playing. Thanks Ellen and Brian for a great day.

What am I up too.

Well it has been a few weeks and decided I haven't written much. Last week I decided to paint my bedroom, I had painted it right after Alycia was born to a green, actually an ugly green, so 4 years ago. I finally decided I was ready to paint it again. So I tackled that last week, and now have my bathroom to do. I so love it, looks much warmer and comfortable to me.
Labor day, Ed had the day off so we decided we would spend it together having fun, we went to Cody Park which is a cool park here that has so much to do, and Ed and the boys played Frisbee golf while I took Alycia and Zach on the playground. Then afterwards we went and played some tennis, I stink compared to Ed as he Lettered in that in High school and all, but it was fun and I worked up a sweat After that we walked over to the concession stand and got ice cream cones and let the kids ride on the rides there. It was a fun time. After the park we decided to go visit some friends that live out of town about 10 miles and who are building a house. Ed help him in building the house while I kept kids out of the trenches and played on the trampoline with them and all that fun stuff. So was a nice relaxed Labor day.
I have to tell you the garden is in full bloom and doing well, today I blanched and froze corn, made stuffed bell peppers and froze them. Also with the garden in harvest comes apple season, Ed has an apple tree at work that we picked and now have all these apples to do something with so have been slicing and freezing, drying and making pie filling. Love making stuff to use at a later time.
I also got the bug this week to reconnect with some old friends and have been having fun with that. Seeing how every ones life turned out after high school and what not, it is interesting.
I will post a picture of my room, not the best or fanciest but it is mine.
