Christmas Mornings

It is always so magical to watch the kids come down and get excited about what Santa left...Well, for the ones who believe...We are so blessed. John gave me a painting of Mike and I at the Beach in Mexico. I think it is the best present I have ever gotten in 20 years of marriage. I didn't have to ask for it. He just knew. I love that guy!

Kelsi got a new blackberry.
Taft got a Zune.
Joe got every kind of skateboard and snowboard
Mikey got a new soccer chair, and basketball hoop.

Katy ran away Christmas Eve...Which is Holiday #4 that Katy has managed to excape. I swear I couln't even get to Dewey with no money or plan, Katy however, made it to Missouri. She is fine and his coming home today. I'm sure it was a very exciting get away for her. Some nice person took her to a safe house, Which is a blessing to know she was taken care of.

Halloween Costumes

United Way Race

Bartlesville United Way Race was today!!!So much fun! Mike won the fun run 1 mile @ 8.47 min. Joe did his first 5K finished around 32 min. I did horrible! I think my time was 28-29 min...One of these days I am gonna get faster....I am in such a funk!
I was so proud of the boys. Of course proud dad took pictures of us all finishing!

Halloween

So sad to think of my boys growing up. When they were little they loved going to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin, then return home to carve it out...As you can see by some of the pictures I think their enthusiasm was a little low at points of the hay ride and the hay maze. But, What a great day! Beautiful weather and just hanging with my boys. Wow! life surely doesn't get any better.
