Fall Fun 2016

Let's do a recap of some of the fun fall activities we have had the past few weeks....

We had a game night with our dear friends, the Hall's and Breaux.  We ate dinner, made Halloween cupcakes, and played games.  Super fun night!  I adore our friends and they adore Elaina (which is such a blessing).  They love her so much and that is truly special





Our current favorite game is Googly Eyes.  You have to draw pictures wearing these ridiculous glasses that blur your vision.  So much fun!




The next day we painted pumpkins with Elaina's friend Kaitilyn....always a fun activity




They did a little swinging too...

The following day, we went with our small group to the Mayfield Dairy Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch.  We had never been to this one before and it was totally worth the drive.  They had all sorts of fun things for the kids to do...

A zip line...what??

A hay ride...and kettle corn!

the coolest "corn" made out of milk jugs.  I couldn't' get over the creativity behind this corn made out of milk jugs  

A big bouncy pillow....
They also had pig races which was hilarious among other things....Good times.


Halloween weekend, Elaina's friend Kaitilyn had a Halloween party/sleepover.  She has 11 girls spend the night at her house.

11!!!

E-LEV-EN!

She is my hero.  They had fun.  She set up a hay ride, a haunted maze through their woods, and dinner in the barn...it was super fun.  We stayed to help with the festivities but left before bedtime.  It was very fun.


The girls all wore their Halloween costumes


Our friend, Joni Lynne got a "mom" ride in the hay before the kids jumped in.
We carved pumpkins this year...as usual.  
Elaina carved her completely by her self.  Pretty cool. 




Mine is on the left, Elaina's is the kitty cat one in the middle, Erik's is on the right..



And finally, Halloween came and went.  Elaina was a Baker....I love this idea.  A costume she can actually use again for a while.  Her friend Ainsley came over to trick or treat with us.  Ainsley is a new friend...Elaina and her are fast friends and have a lot of fun together.  I am glad they came over and trick or treat with us.  We had fun and are excited about our new found friendship


Ainsley's costume was super cute too,  she was a dead doll

This is "post" trick or treating...they loaded up, as expected.

For the 1 person who reads this (Erik)......I'm back!!!!!

I have thought about it....and I miss my blog.  Not because it is read by anyone other than Erik and maybe a small handful of other people on occasion but, I think I miss having that spot I can go to and reminisce over memories.  I don't want to lose that that.  I know there will be a 2 year void of pictures and events but I know that 20 years down the road I will be glad I picked it back up.  I do have pics/events documented on IG so that is good.  But this blog allows me to share my words more - how I felt about the particular event I am posting about.  Or, maybe even just my opinion in general.  Who knows...we shall see. For now, let's just pick up with the latest event in our house - Elaina made the MS cheer team for the second year in a row!  We are very excited for her - she is excited too.  She has come SO far in a year.  When we entered into year one we ALL had no idea how any of this cheer stuff worked.  We have done re...

Christmas 2016

After Thanksgiving comes Christmas....Here is our Christmas festivities for 2016: Elaina has a new friend who is in her her class this year, Ainsley.  Ainsley has gone to Grace for several years but she and Elaina have not had class together until this year.  They have become fast friends, to say the least.  We just love sweet Ainsley.  She came with us to Fantasy of Trees this  year.  They did all the usual things.......we love going to the Fantasy of the Trees.  It really kicks off Christmas for us. Coordinated outfits.....but of course! We hung out with our friends, the Crass's one evening for a viewing of Christmas Vacation.  Erik had not seen it in its entirety and did not appreciate it to its fullest.  So, Evan wanted to walk him through it to give him a better appreciation.  We had fun - I got to drink egg nog out of this moose glass - awesome! Elaina had a solo part in her school Christ...

Snow

Not much snow this winter.....in fact, I would hardly call it a winter.  It's Feb 23rd and 70 degrees today.  So......?? We did have one day where it snowed and was cold enough to make a fire.  Below is one of 2 fires (maybe 3) we have had this year.  Makes me sad.  I mean, I am not a huge fan of cold but I do think we need a winter.  Here are some pics to prove it did snow. We cuddled up on the air mattress in the living room next to the the fire one night and watched a movie.  Fun memory The next day, Elaina and her friend Ainsley made a fort out of said air mattress Elaina and her friend Ainsley played in the snow.  We had a kids vs parents snow ball fight (a real one).  It was fun...I got nailed in the face with a snowball.  That is a sign of a good snowball fight!!! Good times! Cute girls in their onesies....
