99 Balloons

I watched this video on another blog today. The video is about a couple in NWA whose son was born with Trisomy 18. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.

A History Lesson from a 5 Year Old

Background: David and I were watching Sarah Palin/Tina Fey on SNL.

Tyler: "Mommy, is she our President."
Mommy: "No, she is running for Vice President."
Tyler: "Well who is our President."
Mommy: "George Bush"
Tyler" "No mommy, his name is George Washington and he was our first President."

Week in Pictures

I am going to start attempting to taking more pictures during the week and posting a Week in Pictures post on the weekend. David actually took the pictures below. Tyler pulled her first tooth this week. It was loose forever but never loose enough to pull. We also went and bought pumpkins this week. Tyler had school pictures but of course it was on a day that David had to work so I was doing good making her "beautiful" (Tyler's words not mine!) and getting her and Landon out the door on time!! But this is my attempt at holding myself more accountable to take pics!!

Can I get an ALLELUIA!!!!!

I am still beyond excited as I type this post!! WE WON!! The Razorbacks beat #20 Auburn!! Way to GO RAZORBACKS!! And the fact that we beat them at Auburn makes this win even sweeter!! GO HOGS!!! Keep it up!!!

Movie and Halloween

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, you should go to the movies and see The City of Ember. I read the book in my Children's Lit class and it was amazing. It is the first of 4 books and I am hoping to read the other 3 books during Christmas break. I really want to see the movie this weekend but David works. Well isn't really a factor because I still wouldn't have a babysitter!! HA!!! If anyone sees the movie, let me know what you thought of it.

In other news, my neighborhood is playing You've Been Boo'ed. I read about this earlier in the week on another blog. That afternoon we were Boo'ed. I was so excited. Tuesday night I was coming home from the library when I saw a gift bag hanging on our front door. I had no clue that our neighborhood was playing this game. I ran up there and it was a Halloween gift bag with a bag of Hershey kisses. Inside the bag was a poem that read:

How to Boo

There was a ghost here bringing treats to you,

He flew to your house just to say Boo!

Who left this Boo bag, who could it be?

You might find out, but not from me!

Place this sign where all can see

So everyone will know a Boo! you received.

Enjoy the goodies as a treat from us,

But now it's your turn to Boo! someone else

Fill each bag with some treats and fun,

Bring them to your friends and

neighbors, knock....then run!

Happy Halloween!!

How fun is that!!! David and I had a blast trying to figure out who left us our treats. We did our Boo! last night and hope they enjoy their treats as much as we enjoyed ours!! What a fun Halloween game for adults!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

Parade in the Neighborhood

October is fire prevention month. Every year the firetrucks on base do a little parade through all of the neighborhoods on base. This year some of the local firetrucks joined in the festivities. Well this morning David was mowing the yard when he heard the sirens. He came and got us so the kids could watch the firetrucks. Landon loves anything with sirens and we knew that he would love seeing the trucks in action. Excuse the pajamas, we weren't expecting the parade this morning and we were having a lazy Sunday.

Landon is waiting patiently.

Then he decided to climb up the steps.

Tyler decided to pose for pictures while we waited on the firetrucks.

Here they come!!

Landon loved waving at the firetrucks.

Tyler decided to cover her ears up. There were about 10 trucks all

blaring their sirens. It was a little loud!!!

Bye Bye firetrucks!!

Tyler's First Fieldtrip

Today was Tyler's first kindergarten fieldtrip!! We went to the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead in Ovearland Park, KS. We had the best time. I can't wait to go back when we have more time and have David and Landon with us.

Tyler, McKenzie, and the goat!!

McKenzie is one of our neighbors. They girls

became really good friends over the summer.

Tyler milking a cow!!

Tyler actually took a picture without posing!!

I loved this bird house!

Some of the girl's in Tyler's class.

Deanna Rose Childrens Farmstead II

An old school house.

Tyler's teacher is in the green.

The goat and sheep really wanted the food in Tyler's hand!!

After I snapped a picture, I rescued her. That sounds bad,

but seriously, right when I was snapping is when they were attaacking

her. I ran to her and her teacher ran and we got the WILD

animals off Tyler. She was a little freaked out!!

Crazy Hair Day

A couple of weeks ago was Spirit Week at Tyler's school. She had lots of fun days but Crazy Hair Day was the only day I managed to snap a picture of!! OOPS!!!

Labor Day Weekend in Branson

Yes, I know that Labor Day was a month ago but here are the pictures. We met my parents and sister at the Branson Landing for the day. We took the kids to Build a Bear. Landon loves stuffed animals so we knew he would love Build a Bear. He did but by the time we got there it was his nap time and he wasn't ready to get a nap!! We have a great time in Branson. I didn't get many pictures because I was busy taking advantage of the holiday sales!!

OOPS

Somehow I accidentally erased my last post!! URGH!!! But I hope to get some pictures posted this weekend!!
