What a week!

It has actually been almost 2 weeks since I have shared our lives with you. We are all so busy and I hardly have computer time anymore. I have to share some pictures just so I can look back and remember the stories behind them!

Here is Addyson after the Muleshoe football game last week. I bribe them to leave the games early with popcorn. Works everytime! She was so tired, she fell asleep holding her popcorn bowl.
Todd and I went to the Tech/Nebraska game last week. On the way back to Muleshoe it was dark and I heard the kids talking about Chicken Pox. Our kids have no clue what chicken pox even are, but they gave themselves some with a MARKER!!
These are Tyler and Kamron's costumes for this year!! Aren't they adorable! They got to wear them to school and "campaign" for the 3rd grade classes. Their social studies teacher from last year wanted them to share "their" views. They had a blast and they got to get out of their classes for a while!

After a very cold and rainy last weekend, it finally dried up and warmed up for us to have some fun at the park. Kamron took time to play with Kyle. He is a doll!! He is walking and his smile will melt your heart!

Kyle, Addyson and Bode playing in the rocks. They were teaching him good things like throwing rocks!
A rare moment where I caught a picture of the "big" boys playing war with the Nerf guns! It is hard to catch them in one spot.
Saturday was our Octoberfest in Muleshoe and the kids painted pumpkins at the Kettner's. We had a blast. Addyson won 2nd place and Kamron won 3rd in their age group. I was very proud of all 3 of them, they put lots of effort in creating their pumpkin.
Tyler with his "Clone Trooper"
Addyson had way more fun playing with Gracie than decorating her pumpkin. She did paint it a tiny bit pink.
Addyson, Riley and Gracie.....see all the painting they were doing!
Addyson's 2nd place "Prize Penelope the Pig"
Kamron won 3rd place for his "Darth Vader and his droids"
Ty's Clone Trooper
They got their face painted also. LOVE Halloween face painting!
Tyler with his face painting!! The boys told everyone that they stole a girl scouts cookies and the girl scouts beat them up! LOL
Addyson and Lindsey after they got their faces painted. Lindsey has a new baby sister that I sure loved holding. She is only a month old and precious!!
My boys. the cub scouts sold cokes and brownies as a fund raiser at the Octoberfest. We worked for 3 hours and did pretty well!
Before we left on Saturday for the cub scout outing, I was switching the laundary and found my cell phone on the bottom of my washer! I had washed my cell phone. It is dead, and we had to go to Clovis after church on Sunday to get me a new one. 180.00 later AND I got the cheapest phone there was. We never buy phones, we get the free ones that come with our plans. BIG, HUGE lesson learned!!

We also got our new roof this weekend. We are without satellite for the 3rd day! You really do not think about how much you would just like to watch the news, until you can't. Hopefully it will be restored tomorrow!!

One last thing, Sunday afternoon Tyler was riding his bike and found a turtle. He brought it home so that he could take it to school today. We watched the turtle in the box all during supper. After supper Addyson decided to introduce our cat to the turtle. She was holding Nala saying, "You be nice to the turtle, don't you eat it!" After hearing that Todd told Addyson, "If Nala eats the turtle...she is NOT staying in our house!!"

The turtle is now "safe" with 120 4th graders at school!

Have a great week!
