Boys' Camping Trip
















Rodney and Carter Wayne went on an overnight camping trip with some buddies from church in November. CW had never been camping before and he loved it! Rodney said CW didn't sit down or stop talking till bedtime. They had a fire, roasted marsh mellows, had a scavenger hunt, and whatever else boys do when they camp. Such a sweet time for CW and Rodney. We have decided we are going to start camping with the boys in the Spring. It seams like a great family activity. I have NEVER been camping so stay tuned for interesting posts this Spring. ;)

Halloween Night












Halloween our friends the Daspits came over to eat and go trick or treating. The boys were wild and had a wonderful time. Our neighborhood was packed and we ran out of candy about 7:30 so we shut her down. We ended the night with a bath, Halloween PJs and a few Halloween cartoons. The next day we had a major candy hangover. :)

Happy Halloween!!!


Trunk or Treat













The Sunday night before Halloween we went to the Trunk or Treat at Carter Wayne's school. The boys had so much fun and we got to walk around with Caroline and Noah a little, too. The boys got into the games and the bouncy houses. Of course they loved the hot dogs. Their favorite game was racing these huge remote control cars. Daddy helped Sawyer and CW could operate his own. They loved it. I love my sweet little family so much!

We caused a stir...




Between the crowd our professional pumpkins drew and the people wanting to take pictures in front of our "spooky boo" we were a hit Halloween night. We have so many trick or treaters in our neighborhood that we just set up camp outside to give out candy. I was so proud for Rodney and CW that so many people liked their pumpkins. It was fun to see parents wanting their kids to pose in front of our decorations, too. Felt like a celebrity. Doesn't take much to get me excited!

Carving Pumpkins








We so enjoyed carving pumpkins this year. Rodney and Carter Wayne did some elaborate carvings. I was so impressed. I was in charge of getting the "guts" out of the pumpkins and Sawyer was in charge of keeping us laughing. CW was sooo proud of the finished product. He and his daddy worked so hard. Fun family times.

You have arrived...


They say at Wal-mart that if you have walls (not necessarily a ceiling) around your office you have arrived. Well in that sense my sweet hubby has arrived. :) Here is Rodney in his new office. Four walls and a door, baby! We are so happy that Rodney got to go back to ISD - he had wanted to for awhile. The best part of his new position is that he is managing more people, which is such a strength of his. We are so proud of him and the way he seeks to show God's glory in all he does. Love you Rodney!
