Getting ready for Christmas

Mitch and I had his work party Friday night.  It was fun!

This is a photo bomb by Marcus..



Marcus decided that he wanted to make tshirts for his figures...he made these out of an old shirt and then printed off tiny wrestling logos and glued them to the shirts...he even did the sewing!  Extremely creative!!!



Making sugar cookies with dad...Mackenzie was on the couch; she has a nasty cold.


This was at the Youth Christmas party...Mac is straight in the back...she wasn't feeling well but we still went.  They played games, watched a Christmas movie and had lots of good food to eat.
I can't remember if I posted this picture but I LOVE this pic of her so much!  My baby girl is growing up and she is so beautiful!!!

One of the families in our culdesac had some friends over and they were going caroling. They asked Marcus to go with them.  He is on the end right in front...in fact that is where he still is as I type this!

Terramar Cheerleader/ CCV Stars Soccer player

Mackenzie made the cheer team and we couldn't be more proud of her!

Cheerleading games and practices will keep her pretty busy...

It was really hard to get a picture of her because that girl was always right in front of her!

Poo...my picture came out blurry...

Marcus's soccer team had a pizza party and received their trophies...they really played well together.

We are really proud of him!

It was so cold one night, even Copper needed a blanket!

We are 45 years old now and still besties!!!!

Fun Times

Mackenzie and our neighbor Maddi...hanging out in the garage goofing around and having fun!


Copper the Superdog can leap tall buildings in a single bound!

My experiment...I baked a whole pumpkin and got 9 cups of pumpkin puree out of it.  Prick it several times, stick it in a roasting pan and bake it at 350 for about 2 hours.

This was Mitch and I on our 14th wedding anniversary.  Helping the kids with homework...I look about as thrilled as he does in the background.



Last Saturday Mac and I had a girl's night out.  We ate at Paradise Bakery and went to the mall.  It was a fun time and we hope we can do it more often...  :)

R.I.P. Gary

Earlier this week Gary, Marcus's pet snail, passed away. Today we said goodbye to Gary. Marcus brought Gary all the way home from Disneyworld in his pocket a year and a half ago.  He lived a great life and will forever be in our hearts...

Choir and Soccer

Copper LOVES daddy!!!!

This as at church. Mackenzie is in the Youth Choir.  They are called the Halos.  They performed a concert for our service and did fantastic!   Mackenzie is the one right behind the 2 girls on the front row on the left side of the picture.  They did great!

He always smiles for me!

Marcus received this certificate at soccer last night.  He worked really hard and did his best at both the game on Saturday and practice last night.

Busy weekends in October

This was after his game last week.  They had pictures afterwards and were waiting in line.  I didn't get pictures today but they tied (But all the boys think they won) and played the hardest I had ever seen!

happy boy!

Last weekend was Midwestern University's Bright Lights event.  It holds a silent auction and the proceeds go to scholarships for students.


I was in a bidding war with another girl for this purse.  I had to outbid her 3 times but I got it! 

Pretty lights everywhere


it was a fun evening!
