October

Halloween is dressing up and candy and parties and pumpkins and trick or treat and ghosts and goblins and jack-o-lanterns and makeup and make believe and skeletons and bats and haunted houses and more candy and lots of FUN!

Kambree is a black cat! Travis is the 'Joker'! Mckell is a witch! Cade is a motorcross rider!

Wow! Did we have a fun filled Fall Break. Sarah and the kids arrived on Tuesday from Utah, Zach came in on Wednesday and the whole week was one adventure after another.....

Thursday we had a day at the park and did some shopping in preparation for family pics.

Kinley and Warner


We were visited by many bees, they liked the soda and the sweet snacks. I was the official bee smasher, most everyone else was afraid of being stung.

Friday we spent the day at Canyon Lake, with Derec's boat and some jet skis.

Friday...

I was just about to leave to go take the real estate test, when I hear Don teasing Kambree telling her she needs to go to school with the rest of the kids and they were laughing and giggling, until....Don says, "I'm sorry Kambree", Kambree is crying...then I hear "Alisa come here" This is what I saw -

(not a very good shot)

He had opened the front door right over her toes and managed to put a BIG gash in between her toes. Blood and tears were flowing pretty good. While I went to take my test, Don & Kam's went to urgent care. Because of the placement she got glue instead of stitches.

We are excited for Fall Break we have cousins coming out of town for a BIG 60th birthday party for my parents!!

More updates to follow.....

Where did September go?

Here are the two reasons I have for slackin' on the bloggin'

1st:

Real Estate School

Yes, in this time of a CRAZY economy I have now completed the requirements of taking 90 hours of courses and passing the school and state required tests. (One of them twice, but it is done!)

I appreciate my husband and children supporting me in this adventure!

Now, I get too join Don in this wonderful world of real estate,

lucky man.

2nd:

Darin is taking a digital photo class at school and ALWAYS has the camera. Pretty lame excuse because I don't NEED a camera to update, I know.
