Sweet Sixteen!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Friday, Macey turned a sweet sixteen. Unfortunately, she was sick the whole weekend. Bummer. However, she did go on her "first date" with her dad last night. Which is a good thing because she is going out on a real first date tomorrow night! Augh! Do all the Uncles want to come over and have a gun cleaning party at the dinning room table, say about 7pm?

When she was feeling better we celebrated her big day and she got a new Nissan...(it's a bit of a tight fit, but it's hers and she loves it. Thanks Katie. :)

We are having her Sweet Sixteen Party next weekend. She is so excited. She has been planning this for months! We'll let you know how it turns out. Feel free to dish out any dating advice...Happy Sweet Sixteen Macey.

Pumpkin Carving and Trick or Treat

We got a late start on our pumpkin carving this year. Usually we do it for family night but didn't get to it until Halloween morning. No matter fun was had by all.













Even our Halloween dinner had costumes. Our hot dogs were "pigs in a blanket." Then, Kenna decided to hide the carving utensils from the creative carvers that were not finished at dinnertime...

in a costume of a ketchup bottle. Macey, who was still frantically carving had to cut the bottle open to get them out.

It was all worth the wait. She carved Cinderella's pumpkin carriage.

Are Superheros always so serious???

Guess so.

Cute Kitty Kenna. (My deal of the season. $4.99 at a thrift shop!)



There's the superhero smile...behind the sugar surge!

And of course, with six kids, you never know what you might find in the laundry shoot.

It seems like this went by in a flash. I guess I better hold onto my hat because the holidays will be here before I can say "Happy Thanksgiving!"
