She really is a girl!

I love Ash - although she can really push my buttons! We got to go to the Hannah Montana concert, and as you can see from the picture (she is not looking at the camera of course), she can really look like a girl sometimes! She even had a purse with her!!

We had a blast! We went with some friends in the neighborhood, and Ash & her friend Sarah talked me into making signs for them to take - it was very cute.

Ash took her little video camera, and took some video of the concert. I will try to post it, because it is so funny to see her little video.

Trick or Treat!!

Yet another year of Halloween frenzy is over!!

Jonathan was totally into his "punchy-punch" costume, wearing it several times over the past few weeks. He was a bit dangerous when he got his gloves on - he would start punching anyone within his reach!! He LOVED trick-or-treating, and he was so excited about "the cool stuff" he got.

Nick is adorable as Quidditch playing Harry Potter - And Ashley is in yet another very girly costume - she doesn't even know who Freddy Kruger is, but thought that he looked cool.

I had a hard time with pictures this year - My default picture taking spot is no longer in exsistence - I am going to have to figure out a new spot for all of my outside pictures.

In a Funk...

I have no real excuse for not posting anything lately - I think I have just been in a funk! I think the constant stream of workers inside & outside my house, the dirt & dust everywhere, the fact that my front yard is a big pile of dirt, along with my husband working on the house any time he is not at work has started to get to me after a year...Yes, you read that correctly - IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND WE ARE NOT DONE YET!!!! I have told my children on several occasions "Mommy is going to lose it today, it may be because of something you did, it may not - but Mommy is going to lose it."

It did help that we carved pumpkins yesterday - nothing like a sharp knife in hand, and being able to pull some guts out of something to make you feel better!

We have some HUGE pumpkins that we got from Troy's parents garden - they are pretty awesome! Ash & Nick totally got into carving pumpkins this year. Doing most (if not all) of the work themselves. That left Jonathan wanting to do his own as well. He actually did cut the lid by himself - he did a pretty good job!

And, I am happy to report we still have a total of 50 fingers at our house!

Nothing New

No, there is really nothing new to tell, but after discussion the creepy people that are out there stalking blogs (No, not you Macy), I decided to make mine more private...I do not have the memory needed to call my family by fake names, and then remember that name the next time I post (I know, not often enough, and too often about my house!)...Thus, the e-mail inviting a select few of my FAVORITE people to view my blog...

And although there are days that I would gladly let anyone take my people, I guess deep down I really do love them, and want to protect them.

Rock On!!

Oh yeah!! The rock is going on, and they are starting to goop up for the stucco!!

I must say, it is looking quite nice!

Finally, I have the inside of my house back to myself - the sheet rockers finished today - as nice as they are, I was so glad to see their cars drive away!!

Paint is next - yahoo!

The Big Birthday!!

The Birthday Boy and His Bounce House!

First Day of Pre-School!
