UPDATE! See post below!

WHY! So, we don't have stitches, but now we have scratches ALLLLLL over his left cheek! We are suppose to go cheer on a sweet friend play basketball tonight but worried about all the looks we will get! In this photo: KNOT on head, BLACK EYE, SCRATCHES ON FACE! Just click on the photo...you will see!

You should see the other guy!

What? You are probably asking yourself...check out B's eye!


Yes, in color, that is much better. Bowden was quite the helper yesterday at Bara Church. He was helping his daddy move a rolling rack...when a ratchet strap fell off the top shelf and attacked him. We are very blessed that it missed his eye. He recovered nicely and went about his day as usual. Excuse the debris on his face. Strapping him in at lunch seems to be one of the only ways to keep him still!Just my sweet E!
These photos were taken before church. Notice the nice lump on his forehead? That is from a fall last week into the fireplace. I bet we have stitches before he turns 2.
I had to document this outfit. He was head to toe Parker 2004! Parker's sweater, Parker's jean's, Parker's shoes, I love him.
These 2 guys are my Monday running buddies. I love the connection they have and how Emaline has really stepped up to be helpful. We still have our litle struggles, but that girl can be so sweet. hum. most of the time.
Oh, I almost published without scrolling down and you would be wondering what in the world is this! Well, this was Cassidie's birthday present from us. I took some photos a few weeks ago at her game and created this little piece of art for her. I do like digital scrapbooking, just wish I could spread all my stuff out to see what all I have accumulated. I had my lab mount it and I got her this easel and sprayed it black and tied the bow. I think it turned out real cute.

Now I can publish. Oops. Can I do a post with out Parker....well, scroll down a post and check out his turkey!

The Turkey

NO, I am not talking about my P, I am talking about this cute little turkey!
We had a family project to decorate this sweet turkey, and I let him have free reign. I pulled out lots of craft objects and we created a plan. I think he did a great job! NOW, excuse the blue trash can! My grandmother bought me that trashcan when I moved into my first apartment in 1999! I just can't get rid of it! I know it is time to maybe replace it in the kitchen...
Love you turkeys!

Sitting here

Making out my grocery list/menu for the week. This week's menu will have some new additions due to a new cookbook I received at preschool last week. It is the Ko Jo Kai cookbook from HARDING, a gift from a fellow Kojie/mom of giraffe/coworker. This cookbook is red and white, not the pink and green I would have preferred! HA! AND it has ladybugs on it, are they the club mascot? I am off to see what treasures it holds! Have a great Monday!

Halloween 2009

A view from the back...


And one from the front...sort of...

Meet a very happy Charlie Brown!

And Ms. Stephanie saved the day with THE bat costume tears were shed about when we found out it had been sold out! SHE MADE THIS! HAND CUT HIS NAME and BAT!


This one was from the sing along at his school.
My coteacher and I dressed as Christmas trees for a costume.

Charlie!
The pumpkin.


I took Stacey's camera with us trick or treating in Denton, so I don't have a photo of my kids with the MECHANICAL BULL! Yes, Parker and Emaline both rode the bull!

An adventure

Parker had a day off from school, and I wanted to go to the pumpkin patch, but it was sooooo wet, that we decided an adventure to Denton would be nice. We packed up, called Mamma, and off we went. We picked her up, drove to the square and in the first 2 minutes lost one of Bowden's favorite sneakers. I mean we looked EVERYWHERE! We ate lunch on the square, walked around all 4 sides, ate ice cream, and toured the court house.





I may get this one printed for Ms. E. Although I can't deny ever standing like this....I love her style!


A great day!

Washington

I am just starting to look at our Washington pictures....and I wanted to share these right away! We went on a company trip with Stacey's business, so he had meetings in the morning and we toured in the afternoons and evenings. Oh yeah, my inlaws were with us and we had a great time!

We went to Arlington Memorial Cemetery, and guess what happened???POURED DOWN RAIN! This is Stacey checking out Ted Kennedy's grave site. I was holding the umbrella.
IT WAS POURING! We were drenched....through and through....
The changing of the guard IN THE RAIN!
This was taken BEFORE the rain!!! Absolutely beautiful!
I believe this was at the Jefferson Memorial during our night tour! I loved being with my friend...more photos to come!

Of course it would be...

hard to leave town! Stacey and I are leaving in the morning for Washington DC for company stuff for him. Of course things wouldn't go as planned. I won't go into all the details of today...but Emaline ended up at Urgent Care, B bit a chunk out of my back, and we are all missing Western Day at preschool! This always seems to happen. THis is WHY we didn't PLAN anything for our anniversary because something always comes up. We are going...and I am leaving the computer here. YES I AM! I will be taking my camera though....see ya in a few days.

Props to Aunt Dee and the many people helping her pull off this weekend.
