Crazy Days

It's been crazy here.........Michael broke his arm Sunday. His right arm is totally no use for six to eight weeks. So guess who has to do everything!!!!!!!!!???????? When I have more time I will post pictures of Halloween, and maybe of the injured one............are goal now is to keep him slowed down so he doesn't hurt something else!!!!!!!!! And he is now out of sight...............gotta go!!!!!!!

Inspirations

I saw this and thought I would share:

"....We are all dreaming of some magical rose

garden over the horizon instead of enjoying

the roses blooming outside our windows today."

Horses

Maddie and Marty rode yesterday afternoon. Maddie rode Patches, and Marty worked on his newest project, Mongoose!!! This horse has come along way and Marty is really doing well with him. He is really good with horses, and loves working with them. All the kids love to go riding with him. It is usually a fight to see who will ride with him. Michael was sleeping, and KD was in sick, so Maddie won an easy war yesterday.

Basketball Camp

Maddie and KD are going to basketball camp at PSU. They go on the weekends. This was the second weekend of camp, but our first to attend. Michael had the flu last weekend and KD has been really sick this weekend. Maddie went and had a wonderful time. The boys basketball team is in charge, so it was fun seeing all the college boys working with the kids............very cute!! I was really impressed with how smooth it was ran, and everything Maddie learned on the first day. Her favorite part was defense. Michael's favorite part was running back and forth from the bathroom.........I bet he went to the bathroom 15 times in 2 hours!!!!!!! At least he is going now.......he is doing great with the training.....he doesn't even have any accidents in his pants!!!!!!!!! Yea -- NO MORE DIAPERS/PULL-UPS!!!!!!!! Maddie is in the front at the block.
Ball handling drills-Maddie is the one at the front of the pic.

For those of you who have never been to PSU-and that have-it has really changed. They have added so much and its super nice. The Noble center is where the camp is held. It has two courts with a walking track, two racket ball courts, a swimming pool, huge weight room, and so much more!!!!!! It was very exciting to see all the changes!!!

The Creek is Full!!!!

These are pictures of the creek behind our house. From last Saturday to Monday evening it had rained around 6 inches everywhere!!!!!! We have lived in this house over 6 years, and I have only seen the creek like this one other time. I was standing by our back yard when I took the pictures.

Muddy Pumpkin Picking

On Saturday morning we went and met Marty's Grandma Nan and Aunt Nanelle in Etter at the Pumpkin Patch. This was the start of our 4+ inches of rain. We were all wet and muddy, but that just made it even more fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

1,2,3, JUMP!!!!!!!!! The kids had so much fun jumping into the corn. If you haven't been to pick your own pumpkin, you need to go. It was a fun day, and the pumkins are great--all different varieties. My mom saw mine and a trip is planned to go back when it dries up a little.

Grandad's 78th

On Friday night my family went to my Aunt TC's house in Borger to celebrate my grandad's 78th birthday!!!!!!! I have a wonderful family, and anytime we get together it's always a good time-----but especially when you're celebrating a grandad's birthday!! I hope I am lucky enough to see my grandchildren have children and, I hope I can be as great a role model to them as he is to me and my children.KD(on the right)with her favorite cousin Gwenee!!

Flu Season

Well it's that time of year.............and we have already been hit!!!!!!! Michael has the flu. He has been sick part of last week and through the weekend. Never seems well in the morning, then he gets some liquids and food and seems alot better. I'm wondering who will be the next victim. Maddie already tried...........she did manage to get out of church Sunday morning. I was home with Michael and Nana took the girls with her to church. Nana called saying she was in the car with Maddie and she didn't feel well. Marty went and picked her up so Nana could go back into church with KD. I could tell when Maddie got home she was pulling a fast one..............Nana was never that easy when we were young!!!!!!!!!!!
