Pumpkin patch and corn maze





Today we did a SS class fellowship at a pumpkin patch and corn maze. We had a great time. Here are some pics of our trip. I didn't want to put up pictures of other without asking them first. So it's just pics of our family for right now.

Jump Zone!

Today Brent was off too. We decided to go to a new place here in town called Jump Zone. Will and Brent had went once before for a Birthday party that Will was invited to. We had a blast! It costs $7 per child and parents are FREE, and parents can go on the slides too. Brent went more than I did. You have to wear socks and of course I had flip flops on. They kept telling me that it was so fun and that I needed to try. Brent offered his socks for me to use and I did 2 of the slides. It was very fun and very fast. We can't wait to go back again. After Jump Zone we went to Zaxsby's for lunch and then came home and cleaned out the truck and van. I hope you enjoy the pics. They have 6 huge slides and it's indoors.

Can you believe it? So many posts in one day.

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting so much. We've stayed so busy lately. Brent just finished his first English class and will starts another English class and Art class in a week. He made a B in his English class. The kids have homework every night and by the time we get done with that and dinner (and clean up) and they get in the bath I'm ready for bed myself.

Faith's 9th Birthday Party

Here is a lot of pictures from Faith's B-Day party. Everything went smooth. This was her first slumber party. It did take a lot of planning but it was well worth it. The girls were very well behaved. I planned so many activities so they would not be bored and run around the house. It was a Hannah Montana theme and you will see in some of the pics some people trying on the wig. Brent and Will stayed for the party part (pizza, gifts, pinata, and a little Karaoke), Then they went camping. Keith and Lane were there too and then left when Brent and Will left. Holly stayed to night with us. The girls did get to sleep by 11pm I had put in some movies and they fell asleep while watching them. There were 8 total girls. and only 3 stayed to night. Several were going out of town the next day due to it being the beginning of Fall Break. The pictures did not stay in the order that I thought that they would when I downloaded them.

BINGO- They made their own bingo cards putting the numbers where they wanted and then I had enough prizes for everyone to win once.
Halle with the HM wig and then singing for us.


Holly and Keith both try on the wig.

Faith saw Brent walk in with one of her BDay presents, a keyboard.

Faith had a great time and we got so many great pics. I just could not post them all.



Pumpkin decorating

Here are some pumpkins that we decorated. The kids also painted some and we put glitter on some really small ones. I was hopping that the kids would be fine with just painting pumpkins and not doing a jack-o-lantern. But they still want to do big jack-o-lantern. I know that the wooden poles look rough but I'm going to try and paint them during Fall break.



Will's first mowing job




A couple of weekends ago Will wanted to earn some money. So he asked if he could mow the yard. We let him mow some of the yard that gets pushed mowed. He did such a great job. He didn't miss any areas.
