BIRTHDAYS!!!

It gets so crazy this time of year especially when your kids both have a birthday right next to the holidays.  Our sweet little Deacon turned the Big Terrible 2 on Oct. 31st and Oakley celebrated her 5th birthday Princess style (of course!).  

Deacon is sooo into cars right now.  It has been fun to have a boy and get a break from princesses every once in awhile.

Eating cake with my Pa Pa and playing some cars with my B.F.F. Ev   This is the life for a Two Year Old!

          And then we have her Majesty Princess Oakley's Birthday Party!     
           
We played a little pin the kiss on Sleeping Beauty and then Prince Tracy slayed the dragon (with a little help from King Troy) and saved all the fair maidens.

I can't believe my little ones are getting so big!  I love them and am so grateful that we were blessed with such wonderful kids.

Scarecrow Festival

I love Fall and Halloween!!  There is always something fun going on.  We went with some friends to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point.



 There were a lot of rides and games for the kids.  Of course Deacons favorite was the "Brrrm Brrrms".....

....and of course this is what happened when the ride was over.


We also got to meet Shawn Bradley, look how huge this guy is!! Anyway Troy thought it was pretty cool.  If you have never been to the Scarecrow Festival you really should go, it is great fun!!

First Day of Preschool

Oakley started Preschool last Tues. and was very excited. It is her 3rd year of preschool so we decided to change things up a bit and put her in a new school (Learning Dynamics) and it seems to be going well. Her teachers name is Miss Steiner and Oakley got the pink cubby in the classroom so she was thrilled. Here are some of those cute first day of school pictures.





I Love It!

Don't you just love it when your looking through the pictures on your camera and all of the sudden you come across this....




besides the fact that it means Oakley was using the camera without permission. Hmmm maybe it's not a mystery that our camera suddenly broke.

Camera Trouble!!! What?

If you haven't done so already, read Charity's Camera Trouble post.

First: I don't recall Hanny Manny ever fixing electronics. Besides, his tools do all the work anyway. He is such a poser. Although, he does have one thing going for him I will admit. His tools don't try to take his fingers off like mine do.

Next: Don't tiny little machines operated by tiny little people with tiny little fingers put those things together? And you wonder why everything is made in China.

Last: If I only had the right tools. I have had slivers bigger that the screws they use to put that thing together. Any "Hanny Manny" of a man will tell you it's all about the right tools.


Let this be a lesson to all of you out there. If you don't like what you got. Break it. Disassemble it beyond repair. Then at the right time & with the right tone, tell your spouse you tried your hardest to fix it, but you just can't seem to gt it back together.

Now, listen up, here's the key. They will pity you so bad for your failed attempt that they will actually be the ones to suggest you get a new one.

Oh yeah, MY NEW CAMERA IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!!
