Halloween Time...YEAH!

 I know this is really sad that its February and I'm just now posting Halloween stuff!  I'm going to try and keep up on my blog with monthly updates!  I'm gonna TRY!!!  Halloween this year was really fun!  I helped with Mazzy's 3rd grade party.  I brought stuff for the kids to make oreo spiders and nutter butter ghosts.  They LOVED it!
 I finally got to dress my kids up as Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein!  I've wanted to do this ever since they were tiny!  I think they turned out AWESOME!  They really know how to pull of the "Spooky" faces too!

Ryan's Fishy 34th Birthday!

 All Ryan wanted to do this year for his birthday was to go fishing up to Strawberry.  So that's what we did!  We grabbed his mom, (Renee), the kiddos, the dog, the boat and we were off!  It was a beautiful fall day!  The fall colors in the narrows were just gorgeous!  Everyone caught at least 1 fish.  We had so much fun spending time together, telling stories, laughing, joking....it was a GREAT day! 
 Mazzy's first catch of the day!
 Bronson's turn to reel in a big one!
 Renee's first catch of the day!

 We dared him to touch the fish, so he did, eyes closed and all!
 Beautiful Fall colors!
 Feelin' the love!
 Lunchtime with Grandma Nae!
 Chillin'
 Still feelin' the love!
 Captain Ry!
 And still feelin' the love!
I'm so glad Renee came with us, it just wouldn't have been the same without her!  It was a great memory for all of us!

Fall...ish 2011 Stuff

 Fall brought the close of another soccer season for Maz!  Her team did great!

 THIS is an onion!  My Uncle Shadd holding up the onion we used to make delicious salsa!!!
 On September 11th we took the kids up to Eaglewood for a concert put on by some soldiers....I can't for the life of me remember their band name.  They played patriotic songs.  It was a nice tribute to Sept. 11th.
 The first of October brought the kids annual jog a thon.  It is a fundraiser for their school.  They get pledges from people and have to run for an hour.  They can be paid a flat rate or per lap.  Most everyone paid Maz and Brons per lap, so they were extra motivated to do good!  It's a pretty fun event for them!
 Also Octoberish, I was able to go on Bronson's field trip to Black Island Farms.  The kids had such a great time!  I'm glad I was able to go and see how much fun Brons had!  He got to go on a hayless hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, where he picked his own pumpkin.
 Once the kids picked which pumpkin they wanted, they had to raise their hand so a farmer could come and help them cut the stem.
 These are some of his buddies in his class!

 There was tons of activities and things for the kiddos to do!
 The cow train ride!

 Going into the corn maze.
 Climbing the haystacks.

Mazryn's 9th Birthday!

 I still can't believe that on September 6 my Mazzy Face turned 9!  Where is the time going?  It seems like just yesterday she came into this world!  I love this little girl more than words can say!  She is so thoughtful, kind, sweet, loving, goofy, caring, funny....I could go on and on!  She is such a big help to our family too!  I love her sweet disposition!  LOVE YOU MAZ MAZ!!!!
