Looking Back...

I was looking back and reading my posts from last year and I wanted to emphasize how extremely grateful I am to all the men & Women over seas this Christmas season and to all the families at home missing them! Last Christmas was so hard without Korry there with us! So much happens while they're gone and you have to face it head on and be strong.

I am so happy Korry is able to be home with us right now! I am SO excited to celebrate as a family this year! I can't wait to start up our family traditions we missed last year and just be TOGETHER!!!

So anyway, I just wanted to put that out there and say thank you to all of the people who don't get to be together during this time! Our prayers are with you! God Bless All of our soldiers and their families!!! :o)

This was one of the HAPPIEST days of my Life!!!

Too Early for Christmas Decorations?!

So we had a Terrific and EXHAUSTING Halloween weekend! It was SO much fun, but SO busy! On Friday Kiley had a field trip and Brendan had a Halloween party, then we went to a party at Korry's work and then to a High School football game...it was SO fun and by the time we got home...after 10 that night, we all just CRASHED! Then on Saturday, I had a hair appointment, which I dyed my hair brown, Again, and then CLEANED and CLEANED for company we invited over on Saturday night! We had some friends over on Saturday night and went trick or treating. They have 2 kids as well and they all had a lot of fun! Then we came home ordered pizza, put a movie on for the kids and played some games. It was nice to have some adult interaction. The next morning we woke up and went to church, had lunch with some friends and then came home, I cleaned out the car, it was SO GROSS, and then we went to the church carnival they have in the parking lot. It was a Blast! They had rides, booths, cotton candy machines...it was AWESOME! Then we went and had dinner with some friends, went home and took baths and crashed! SO, it was a crazy weekend, but lots of fun!
We also had a baseball throwing competition! It was fun and I got my butt kicked, lol! The kids did well, Brendan's fastest was I think 12 MPH, Kiley's was 20. Korry was the winner of the men with 61 and Jamey was the winner of the girls with 37! It was fun and I got a few pictures of the fun!!! ;)













So now that all my Halloween decorations are down I am ITCHING to start putting up Christmas decorations! Especially since this year we want to decorate the outside and put up lights and the whole 9 yards...so we will see if I can talk Korry into decorating this early...I had a hard time talking him into decorating at Thanksgiving, but since he missed Chirstmas last year because he was in Iraq, maybe he will be in the Christmas mood Early this year...lol...keep your fingers crossed! I also would like it to be decorated before my Mom and Tom come for Thanksgiving! So I have a lot of good points I will have to present to him, lol! ;)

Anyway...I am off to church! I hope everyone have a Great rest of your week! :)
