Spring Fever!

Trent and Easton are going crazy waiting for spring,

I may just go crazy with and acre and a half of mud.

But the boys enjoy riding the 4-wheeler in all that mud!

Not just any old game.

Nearly 8 years ago I married into a family of sports FANATICS! I mean that in every sense of the word. They are fanatical about "their" teams.

Their NFL team is the

Indianapolis Colts!

Last year we were lucky enough to be able go to a "Colts" game with the Fanatical Jones Clan! What fun, and that is when I became a Colts fanatic too.

So when I hear people say that they are just watching the game for the commercials I laugh. This is so much more than just a game or even just any old Superbowl to the Jones'. It's likely that many in the family will be too sick to even eat any of the delicious food that ShaRee will prepare. And those that do may have a hard time keeping it down. The Jones boys are known for their "nervous stomachs"

So if any of you are on the fence about who to cheer for, Please cheer for the "Jones' Colts". Trust me it really does matter who wins this game!

Happy Halloween!

My kids had a great Halloween. The boys both had super fun parties at school then they each had a costume parade.

Trent was a vampire and loved to run and have his cape flow in the wind behind him. His costume was all made by Grandma Warner. He looked so scary with his makeup on.

Easton was a scarecrow, he fit this costume to a "T". He is a little goofy and with a little makeup looked the part of a scarecrow perfectly. The funniest thing is he thought that scarecrows are supposed to be scary like his brother the vampire. Oh well, that's Easton for ya.

How sad, poor Easton had to have his parade in the SNOW!

Little Sister was a bumble bee, I bought this costume almost a month ago because I loved it. She made the cutest little bumble bee, and it fit her also because she is a bit feisty.

They had a blast trick or treating and the boys made me so proud when I would hear them say "thank you" after getting their treats. This was the most fun year yet, luckily we still have many more to go.

Our "UN"-Labor Day!

We did have one last outing before summer slipped away. We spent a whole day doing nothing to do with the house. That's right, all we did was play and rest. This was the first time we've had a chance to get to our camp spot at La Platta all year. So we lived it up while we could.

This is one of the kids' favorite pass times while the adults play horseshoes, the push the wagon down the (not too steep) hill from my parents camp.

We had a very serious tournament of horseshoes. Jason and I lost in the championship game to my two nephews. Tristan (9yrs old) and R.J. Yes we stunk it up, but it's a blast to play together.

Easton really enjoys nature, so much so that he wears it all over his face!

Bryn Leigh and her uncle KA, or as everyone else knows him by Karl.

Trent, Tristan and RJ being lazy in the hammock.

This is our little piece of paradise. I never realized how much I really LOVE it up there until I went a whole summer without enjoying it. Next year we won't miss out on spending our time up there.
