FINALLY

So I have literally been sick for months. It started on the Spike Elk hunt, I came home with an ear infection and Strep throat. After 12 days on antibiotics, I still had strep throat but instead of an ear infection it was in my sinus'. So after a week of a Zpak my strep throat finally went away but my sinus infection has stayed with me ever since. Now to top it off I have an annoying cough that makes me sound like I'm going to die at any moment!

But after a weekend of actually staying in bed I'm feeling better! So I finally had a chance to update my blog. I appologize but I think I just did 6 posts!! So enjoy!

THANKSGIVING

We went to Circleville again for Thanksgiving! It was SO FLIPPIN COLD!! Just to give you an idea...it was 8 degrees at 5pm with the sun shining and on Thanksgiving morning Colby woke up to go Coyote hunting and it was -14 degrees. That is just WRONG. I didnt' take many pictures becuase I've been sick for 6 1/2 weeks and I stayed inside/inbed most of the weekend. But we did get out a few times!

Checking out the bulls with Uncle Rowdy!

Cason didn't want to get close without Rowdy

to help keep him safe!

Rachel even got close to them!

They had a snowball fight....my poor desert rat kids
we don't have the correct gloves for a snowball fight
so their hands were frozen!


Jazzy only liked the snow if her boys
were playing with her

My Angel making a Snow Angel

Pretty perfect if you ask me!

My Father-in-Law has these funny signs all around his yard

I hadn't seen this one yet!

These are the only horses we could ride this weekend.

It was too freaking cold to ride real ones!

Petting the horses!

ya...state the obvious!

When we took Brenden out to see the bulls

he wasn't scared at all! This is his new pet

Big Middy

Jazmine did NOT know what to think of the bulls.

I was waiting for her to charge.....

And this would be a frozen pond

Soo WRONG

Halloween 2010

I had the day off work so me and Cason got to

take Brenden to school and watch the Parade!

My sweet boy looking everywhere for us!

Isn't he cute!!

This is my adorable nephew!

When he passed by me he stopped and gave

me a hug I was the only mom in the entire place

that got a hug that day!!

My little Wolvarine!

Tagger's freaking sweet costume!

Look at my cute boys running around

our neighborhood!

I love the kids we live by. They are soo good

to my boys!

Wolvarine & My Viking!
I don't remember Wolvarine being a sweet

little guy....

I have no idea what Cason is doing in this shot....

He's crazy

All the Grandkids!!

Brenden, Corbin, Cole, Caleb & Cason

What a pretty bunch of people huh!!

I used to change all their diapers

ya, i'm old

My sweet nephew!!!

Cute he is...yes

This is after 2 Trunk or Treats and going

around our neighborhood. I don't know who

was more ready to be done...Colby or Cason

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY BRENDEN!!

My big boy turned 6

He is obsessed with Wii Lego Star Wars so of course we had to do a Star Wars themed party! It was a blast! We had all his friends come over and we had some way good times!

Here is his cake! They didnt' have any themed cakes at a

store for me to just buy so I got the toys

and let him put them on himself!

I'm pretty proud of myself for this pinata!

I turned a Basketball in the the Death Star!

:)

We did a Star Wars coloring contest.

The winners got a Star Wars puzzle!


Brenden got to choose the winner of the coloring contest
so he hung out with Cole so he didn't know who colored what!

Opening presents.

Nobody shows emotion quite like my Brenners!!

Love it!

Look at that face! That gift is a winner!

Yup....You can see why he loves it!!!

Good job Papa & Gramma JO

Mom and dad got him a quiver and new arrows

to use with his bow....but I didn't get a picture

after he opened it!

Blowin' out the candles

OK...so I lent out the bandana for a girl to use for

her Halloween costume at school and she didn't bring

it back, so we used the Star Wars underwear Brenden

just got from his cousin.

Don't worry....they were BRAND NEW!!

This was a blast!

As you can see I think Colby had more fun than the kids.

He would pull it up or lower it down.....a couple times he

actually got it to go in a circle right around the kids heads.

I'm a sucker and all the kids wanted to spend the night

so I figured WHY NOT you're only 6 once!!

My sweet Peepers!

I got him and Brenden matching Lego Star Wars PJ's

I was in bed and I could hear giggling. Brenden and

his cousin Tanner stayed up soo late. I swear they

didn't sleep at all. Everyone else was dead to the world but them!

Brenden's grandparents got him 2 Star Wars Lego sets

and he set them up as soon as he could and hasn't

stopped playing with them since!!

SPIKE HUNT 2010

We got invited to go on the Spike Elk Hunt with our neighbors. It was such a fun trip. It was lovely weather, excellent food, and my kiddos had a blast! It had been so long since we'd been camping and we needed it!

Colby went up a day early and found these sheds

Poor tired hunters......

Brenden got to miss 3 days of school....
but we made him do his homework!
it was actually fun stuff!!

Can you spot my Brenden???

There he is!!!

Shay Shay!!!

Colby had to leave to go to work.....

it really wasn't the same without him with us!

Cason was on one! He had us laughing so

freaking hard in the trailer one night!!

Me and Shayler!

I love the expressions both my boys have in this picture!

PRICELESS!!

Cason was being pissy (hard to believe I know)

so Shayler had to sweeten him up!

The boys built a hut!

Here's Brenden in the pit with Tagger and his cousins!

Brenden shootin' his guns

While the big boys finished up the hut we played

hide & seek with the little ones! This is Cason

hiding in the side by side! he couldn't stop giggling

Gee....I wonder where they are!!

I found Cason!!

Here is the hut all finished! It was really quite amazing!

Cason playing in the sand pit. He hardly left it

My Nenners! Just chillin' by the fire!

Jazmine took over this chair. It's now hers!

There was a cold wind blowing pretty much the whole time

and she used this chair as a wind block!!

My Peepers...he's crazy!

Look at my beautiful boy!!

My bestest!!

The boys set up a target range and we shot

the red rider! They did not get bored!!

Brenden might not look like it but he's a

DEAD ON SHOT like his mama!!

Tagger killed his cup!!

You can see the cups in the trees behind him.

The boys set up the coolest shooting range!

Brenden killed his too!

Cason loves hanging out with the big boys!

They climbed the tree and made a new range

once they got tired of the other one!!

What goof balls! I swear the 3 of these boys together

is enough to put me on Xanex
