Friday night fun!!!!

So we have a new family activity that we have been enjoying in the past few weeks. We have been supporting the Hurricane High football team. Well we have supported them twice anyway, its pretty fun stuff!
Campby had the best seat in the house!

 

Heres half of us, Cooper was back there too just didn't want to be in the pic.

 

Chloe was introduced to the licorice straw for the first time, it was a hit!

 

I caught Campbell cheering on the tigers!

 

And of course playing on the flagpole! I consider the night a success, in the past we have only gone at half time (so we dont have to pay and the kids dont have to sit there as long!) This week we braved the whole game and it went pretty good, we stocked up on snacks before hand, had to take few trips to the bathroom, lost a couple of shoes under the bleachers, and couldn't last through the overtime but still considering that Billy is really the only one "into" sports we did great! We might even go to another game!

Family history time!

So I had a little experience earlier today. I was going to post some of my sister in laws stuff on craigslist and sell it for her.(a couch and a treadmill, if anyones interested!) I had to borrow her memory card to get the pictures off of and when I uploaded the pictures thinking those were the only pictures on there I got a little surprise! A while ago she came across some old family slides, projected them onto her washing machiene and took pictures of them. I was totally in for it, I thought oh how cute, Ill just look through these really quick. A whole hour and a lot of tears later I was finally done. Most of you know that my dad passed away in 2005 and my grandpa in 2004. For those of you who didn't know them, I am sorry, they were two of the greatest men I will ever know. I just wanted to share a few pictures of them with everyone and say how much I love and miss them both. I could not have been blessed with a better family and I hope and pray I can provide that same feeling for my children. I wish so badly that they could both be here enjoying life and getting to know their grand and great grandchildren. I know it wont be long before we see them again, and for that knowledge I am also extremly grateful, without it I would be lost. I have so many wonderful memories of my family and I am so glad my grandpa was the picture taker that he was. He came to every event in my life and always had his camera with him to document it! I love the picture of my grandpa up top because that is SO him. In the wilderness and making a joke! Two main parts of my gramps, his humor and his absolute love for nature. In case you cant tell he wrote in mustard on his peice of bread, LOST, then of course made someone else take a picture of him! I love it and I could go on and on but I'll stop myself here, ENJOY!

 

Best Buddies

 

Chloe and Campbell have been getting along so good since the boys have been back in school. It seems weird but it's true. They do funny stuff together all the time, this was one thing they came up with all on their own the other day! I was sitting at the kitchen table doing something and they came rollin' in together like this, it was so funny to see those little minds at work.

 

Then a few minutes later they got off and switched places, I love it! They keep me smiling, (for the most part)!

 

Oh and yes this is a toy for babies much younger then both of them and we have since passed it on to Carson.

 

AND here is another cat picture for all you cat lovers out there. I dont consider myself a cat lover but she is a really weird cat and I thought it was funny that she went to sleep like this on the bean bag. I knew they were irresistable to humans but to cats??? I swear I will never blog about my cat again.

my little ballerina

Here is Chloe all ready for dance class! We had her first class last Wednesday and it was so fun, I tried to get lots of pics because normally her teacher doesn't want parets to stay. She was so fun to watch and did everything the teacher was showing her but she was just a little shy, I'm sure she'll warm up to it!

 

I kind of feel like I should change my background to match the cuteness of these pictures but last time I tried that it ended horribly so just imagine something really pink and frilly instead of this total boy one!(Which usually works really well with pics of Chloe!)

Look what happens

 

when we dont use the duct tape. This is what I find. I guess it's better then him being in the toilet, he's really getting wise in his old age! (Don't be fooled, he's not actually going potty, he just sits there and says "I gotta go potty, all done." then he slides off flushes and gets back on, repeat about 1000 times until I catch him and make him get dressed again!)

 

Here is Carter on his first day of SECOND grade- I can't even believe I just wrote that about one of my own children!

 

Here is Coops-I made him smile big so we can see his teeth cause I cant get enough of it!

 

Here they are together showing off their NEW school colors! Their class won the spirit stick that day and they were quite proud!

And one more thing before you go....

Thats right, I couponed! I have been saving up my coupons for about 6 weeks and finally went this week. It was lots of fun, Chloe and Campbell were my happy little helpers (and only made me buy one extra item that wasn't on my list!) I spent 30 dollars and saved 80-woohoo for coupons!!! I cant wait to see what I can get next week! (there is a lot more food there then it looks like)
