Halloween Festivities~10/27-10/30/2010





















This year, Thriller had more drama than it usually does. It had been a busy day I had been up since 4:30 finishing up the new MJ glove, then we had the school parade, class parties, carving pumpkins, and then trying to get everybody ready to go to Thriller. In all of the hustle I forgot to put my camera back in my purse, and didn't realize it until we were halfway to Tuacahn! I told A not to worry about it, but he frustratedly turned around and said that is the main reason you go places, you would be sick without pictures. True. So very true.
We pulled into the Tuacahn parking lot at 7:18. Just enough time to race to our seats and snap a few pictures. Honestly without my camera I would have survived, but I wouldn't have been able to capture life long memories on film.
Like the one of the two of us. If that's not a picture of true love, I don't know what is! :) I really, really, LOVE that boy!
Or the one of the REALLY creepy guy, that Sis loved, and Kenna & Jdog couldn't wait to have leave!
Plus the pictures of family and friends are priceless. John & Colleen, Kenna, the kids, and in the background are pictures of~Gma and Gpa Williams, Dar, and Larry.
It turned out to be a great night, I had my camera, the weather was perfect, the show (which they changed a lot of) was great, and we all had a fun time. But it must have been a day of forgetfulness, when we dropped Kenna off she said I must have forgot my jacket! A said Kenna I told you to grab it, she said I thought you grabbed it! (Sigh) She is just like one of our own...






Jdog has always been such a sweet boy. After Mrs. Tsosie made Bailia a necklace for her birthday, out of a rock that Bailia had found, Jdog had an idea. Without me knowing, he asked Grandpa Gary if he had another piece of rock that Gary had made into a ring long ago. He gave Jdog a little piece that he had been saving, and Jdog took it to school to give to Mrs. Tsosie. A few weeks later Jdog came out of school with a big smile on his face. As he got in the car he handed me a bag and said Happy Birthday! I guess he gets his excitement for giving gifts from his momma, and waiting until December would have been torture! I opened it and found a beautiful necklace, that Jdog had paid for with his own money. Gary also informed me that the rock in my necklace was actually mined by his Grandpa Milne, which made it even more special. So I wear my necklace with pride that my son had made for me, that has a rock that he got from his grandpa, who got it from his grandpa, who mined it many, many years ago.
Bailia has a book report due every month. With my schedule, and her glamorous ideas for her reports, sometimes the reports drive me insane! With two days until the due date I couldn't figure out when we would get it done, especially with Bailia's hormones all over the place! So finally I told A that I couldn't take it anymore & I left a little earlier than normal to pick up J from gym. Sitting in the peace and quiet of my car I watched J finish gym through the window, which helped me relax a little bit. When I walked in the door Bailia couldn't wait to show off her FINISHED book report! Hallelujah! Adam had helped her finish it while I was gone! I think I am going to have to become overwhelmed EVERY time there is a report due now! A did an excellent job, and took LOADS of stress off of me! Thanks Sweets!

Koda idolizes Kyson, he thinks he is the coolest person ever! So whenever he gets hand-me-downs from him, he can't wait to wear them! He just inherited a cool pair of keds and was so happy that they already fit! He proudly wore them to school the very next day. He asked if I would take pictures to send to Kyson. As you can see he didn't hide his excitement, and wanted a picture from EVERY angle! Silly kid.

Toothless Jdog~10/17/2010

Jdog lost two molars in three days. He was excited to say the least! The tooth fairy even gave him an extra dollar on the second tooth, and left behind a trail of fairy dust.
When the fairy dust has been left behind I think it is because the tooth fairy must have spent a little more time with that child. Like when Koda and Bailia lost their first tooth, and when Jdog lost two molars in just a few days, they each had fairy dust everywhere! I think the tooth fairy must sit and ponder how fast the kids are growing up.

With Jdog now only having five more baby teeth to lose, I think that the fairy must have sat on his bed for awhile, watching him sleep, thinking about how the years have flown by. She can probably remember making her first delivery to him, and how shiny he wanted that first tooth to be for her.
She might have even shed a few years thinking that his time of youth and innocence is almost over. How she doesn't want him to grow up so fast, and wishes she could shield him from this crazy world forever. She probably knows that this isn't possible, but wanted to make his day special by leaving him a bit of fairy dust. Who knows, maybe the dust not only makes one fly, but maybe its magic keeps a child innocent just a bit longer. I hope so . . .

Field Trip & Raptor Romp~10/13/2010


Koda loves Ava, he is planning to marry her someday. Along with Anique and Adrie, he is such a ladies man, and apparently he likes girls with "A" names! They were playing around last night, and he made Ava giggle. She started leaning her head towards him, and I said Koda she wants to kiss you!! He was suddenly super nervous! As she leaned her head against his his, he tried to hold her back, but he couldn't! She didn't kiss him, just leaned her forehead against his, but his facial expression is hilarious!

Jdog made the comment on the drive home, that he couldn't believe that this was his last Raptor Romp ever! It made me sad to think that Jdog will leave soon leave the elementary stage of life! A & I can't believe that we have been to six Raptor Romp's. Where does the time go?


With our raffle tickets Jdog won breakfast for four at Golden Corral, and Bailia won dinner for four at Golden Corral! We had a good laugh over it because I HATE buffets, but at least two out of the three kids won prizes!

Poor Koda... 10/7/2010
