Emily and Papa

Emily loves getting piggyback rides from her Papa!

Emmie and her Daddy

This is one of my favorites -- just look at that hair! We'll probably never see them like this again as both girls have super straight hair.

Some more wedding pics

Thought I would post a few other pictures from the wedding. It was a little difficult trying to get 2 kids (and myself) ready, make sure they knew what they were supposed to do, and take pictures at the same time. But I got a few good ones that I'll put up. The picutre above is Ashley and her bridesmaids and flower girl and the rehearsal Friday night.

Ashley and Aaron's Wedding

We had such a great time at Ashley and Aaron's wedding yesterday, and the kids were SOOOO good and SOOOO adorable. I was so proud of them. It was such a long day, and long weekend for that matter, and we got through it without any major catastrophes, meltdowns or other problems. I was pretty stressed about how the kids were going to do, until Brenda reminded me that they are just kids and no one expects them to be absolutely perfect. Besides they were so cute, I'm sure no one would have noticed if they acted up! I know I sound like I'm bragging, but I really am very proud of both of them. I have so many pictures, I'll probably put up a few at a time over the next few days. Today, we are being lazy and watching football, and putting off cleaning the house (which is a disaster, as we were in and out all weekend, and have wedding stuff strewn everywhere!) So anyway, congratulations to Ashley and Aaron, and thanks so much for letting us be a part of your special day!!!

A little accident with the Mustang

Yesterday, Nathan and his friend Everett drove the mustang right off the rock wall and flipped it over when it hit the ground. Thank goodness, they were not hurt, except for a few scratches. I really don't know how they weren't hurt, I guess their guardian angels were looking out for them. Its about a 7 to 8 foot drop from the top to the bottom of the rock wall. I tried to catch the back of the car as it was about to go over, but I couldn't hold on, and I fell down the wall right after it. I have some bad scrapes and cuts on my legs and arms and bruises all over, but I'm just so grateful the boys weren't hurt. We were all pretty traumatized, that's for sure! And its a good thing I'm wearing a long skirt to the wedding this weekend, because I am wrapped in bandages from the knees down! That was the adventure at our house yesterday, hope we don't have any more like it!

TOO MUCH CANDY!!!!!

I think this one speaks for itself.

Trick-or-Treat

Finally, last night we went trick-or-treating. James got back from Las Vegas just in time to go with us, and the kids were SOOO EXCITED TO SEE DADDY!!!!! (mom was pretty happy to see him too!)

More Halloween Parties . . .

Yesterday, the kids had more halloween parties in their classes. More games, treats, goody bags, etc. They took home so much candy, I told them we didn't need to go trick-or-treating at night, but of course, they were not thrilled with my suggestion.

Halloween Parties and Trick-or-Treating

These are pictures from the halloween party at school Thursday night. We had a lot of Halloween this week! They got to play games, decorate their pumpkins and walk in a costume parade in the gym.
