Happy Halloween!





Well, we have everything ready for our Halloween weekend. We are started celebrating with a tea party on Tuesday where the kids got to dress in their costumes. Very cute! We had a barn dance last friday night and it was a blast! I love dancing with my honey.
Halloween is going to consist of a bake potato party, OSU vs. K-State game in Manhattan and a costume party later... if we make it back for that. :) So pictures coming..
The kids are getting so big and I am praying they stay awake longer in the day instead of 45 minute naps.. They need the long ones.. and momma does too! :)
Hope you enjoy your Halloween!

Well, the class reunion was a lot of fun! I was so nervous before the nights got started but then a few familiar faces would appear and make me feel like home. It was so good to see a great friend. Jami Schafer, she was so much fun and so sweet. I loved her and saw her across the way and we gave each other a huge hug. Shannon, our class president was amazing. She talked with us for quite awhile and we had a lot in common. So the first night was really nice to see people. I was really surprised I saw so many Roosevelt Junior High class mates. They were so excited to see me and it was a little odd at first. But it was also very sweet to think how much I loved Roosevelt and East and it was so wonderful to be around people who were excited to see you after twenty years. So fun!!

Saturday Night we had the dinner and dance. It was neat to read what I wrote over twenty years ago about how successful I would be and married with two kids. I guess I knew something back then...lol. It was funny because a lot of people wrote things that really came true.

I sat with some friends I had know for a long time but not people I really hung out with during High School but it was so much fun! Donita and I played volleyball together and she was so funny. She served in the military for 9 years and married an amazing basketball coach. He was so sweet and kind. I loved our conversation. I think Scott had a good time too! Met up with friends who have a love for K-State as well. It was a great night and I will always remember how fun it was to dance with my old classmates even 20 years later. Go times!!!

Fall is Here!!



As I have gotten older, I just love Fall! It's so beautiful here! But then there is officiating and I can't run around too much with all these games in the evenings. So maybe some time outside will do!
This month is going to be crazy packed with volleyball games, paint balling, barn dancing, umpiring softball games, missions month at the church and halloweening!!! I am still looking for costumes for the kids. Maybe I will get crafty and make them but ah yeah!! You are talking me!
New developments! Rylee giggled for the first time for a long period of time with Grandma Nickel. She is holding her bottle and is just so cute!!! She smiles all the time for anyone. Jackson is spitting up a whole lot more and has eczema. So bathing twice a day and adding baby oil. They love the big bath tub and love to float on their backs. Jackson is still rolling over on one side sometimes... Rylee doesn't crawl during the night but somehow gets on the other side of the bed at night... Maybe she is Rylee the Great! I have no idea...
Well, As I type so fast human eye can not see me do this.. I must leave you with this.... Having babies makes you realize farting isn't so bad at a distance. When children fart and poop while on your lap....it's just funny (when it was never ever before)! Or all you can do is smile or laugh!
