Denny & Aaron's Birthday

Aaron's birthday was on Friday, so we celebrated by watching the movie Rise of the Guardians, and then had his actual party on Saturday, which was Denny's birthday. So, it was a joint party. :)

Aaron is now 10! I can't believe we're in double digits!

It was Batman/ Hot Wheel themed.

I was afraid we'd all have black teeth after the cake, but it wasn't too bad!

Clark was ready for the Batman party. He's such a sweetie!

Ryan, Angel (Aaron's friend), Avery, Aaron, & Clark

I've got some good looking boys!

Aaron was excited about his Wii games.

Aaron swinging at his pinata. I don't have pictures, but we had silly string afterwards. His friend, Angel, got it all in my hair, but we had a lot of fun!

Aaron's class was asked to sing at our school board meeting last night. I know it's not a real good picture, but I was having camera problems that night! Anyway, Aaron was asked to say the opening prayer. I could tell he was nervous when he walked up to the mike, but once he started praying he did awesome. We talked about what he should say before hand, and I just told him to think about what all was going on that night and pray about that. His prayer was very sweet and sincere, and I was so proud! I just wish Denny could have been there to hear it. (he's still in St. Louis)

Our Weekend

Aaron lost another tooth! Denny is in St. Louis right now, so I was getting nervous that I was going to have to pull it...but Aaron did it himself! Yeah!

Aaron and his best friend Michael. Today was there last game, and they got to play on the high school field. Aaron even scored a touchdown!

Today was Avery & Clark's birthday party. She is 4, and he will be 1.

It was a pirate & princess themed party.

Silly faces with Avery!

My beautiful niece!

Clark enjoyed his cupcake, but was pretty serious about it at first.

Happy Halloween!

Aaron carving his pumpkin. Denny and I helped some, but he did most of it. (in case you can't tell, it says "Fright This Way"

Ryan the Army man.

Me & my sweet girl, Avery!

Wish I could've got a better picture of William's spiked hair. He always has good costumes!

Ryan & Aaron before they go trick or treating. Aaron didn't want to dress up this year, and Ryan barely did. He wanted the Army hat and canteen at Wal-Mart, so I told him he could have it, if he was an Army man for Halloween. I'm sick with bronchitis (feels more like the flu), so Denny has to take them by himself. It's my first year not to go. :(

Fore!

Friday morning we played golf at Fountain Head. It was cooler than expected, but wasn't too bad once Denny showed me how to put the shield on the front of the golf cart. It was a fun, no score, enjoy being together, 9 holes of golf. My favorite kind!

Crazy drivers! Actually, Ryan took off across the green once while I was getting a ball. His eyes were huge, and he was so excited. I was screaming for him to stop, and all I could think was "this is not going to end well!"

Denny and the boys.

Ryan won't let me and Denny take a picture by ourselves!

I've missed spending time with my boys...this was a lot of fun!

This was our hole in one. :) (just kidding)

This was our last hole. Wish we could play more often!

Bike Trail

Denny and I took off work Thursday & Friday for fall break, so we could spend some time with the boys. On Thursday, we played golf at Fountain Head, and then went on a bike trail they have there. We had a lot of fun!

Picnicing before our ride.

Playing by the pond where we picniced.

Denny and the boys on the bike trail. I left our extra clothes at home, so we had to ride in our golfing clothes. We also forgot helmets, so they were warned to be very careful, and no messing around!
