Found it!!!!

It hasn't rained here in weeks, but somehow Vaiden found a huge mud hole...

Ole Miss Girl's soccer made the tourney...

The Ole Miss Girls Soccer team had a free soccer clinic for the kids on Monday night. Vaiden had a blast learning and playing with his friends!! Whitten got into the action on the sidelines...he had a blast too!! After the fun on the field, we enjoyed pizza, snacks, and drinks and watched ESPN to see if they won a bid into the tournament. They got their bid and we were all so excited for them!! Hope they have a great tourney!! Good luck girls!!

Great day in the Grove

We had beautiful weather in the Grove on Saturday for the Northern Arizona game...it was perfect!! We celebrated Morgan's 4th birthday also. She loved the cake we got her and the kids ate the cake up!! We ran into Colnel Rebel and had a picture with him. The Rebels won the game...so all in all it was a great Saturday in the Grove!!

Cowboys and Indians

We had a great Halloween this year!! Michael and I were a little afraid of how Whitten would do with getting candy from each house and then not being able to immediately eat every piece. He did pitch a couple of fits. We figured out that is we let him hold the candy that mad him happy...then he figured out he could hold 2 pieces of candy...one in each hand!! After the 10th house, Whitten really had this trick or treating thing down....he walked right up there with his bag and then told Michael to "stop", jumped back into the wagon and asked for his "backpack" and then we were off to the next house. He did eat the candy after dinner and I think he had a tummy ache in the night...there was a lot of moaning!! Vaiden had a blast this year!! He got to see some of his buddies and he loved that his bag was too heavy to carry. It really was full to the top. Happy Halloween to everyone!!

Pumpkin Carving

Michael and I took the boys outside on Sunday to carve pumpkins. Vaiden was really excited about doing this little project!! That excitment lasted just a couple of minutes and Michael and I were left to do it all. Vaiden chose an "easy" carving sketch from a carving book. It was a spider web with a spider at the bottom. It looked easy enough, but once we got started, it ended up taking forever!! The boys did enjoy making faces on their pumpkins with stickers...so I guess I should invest in those again for next year!! Overall, it was a lot of fun and since the weather was so nice, it made the day that much more fun!!
