Some Fall Fun with Friends!!!!

Kristi had a Fall Costume party on Saturday. We had so much fun sitting around the bonfire, cooking hot dogs, eating chili, playing games, and riding the 4-wheeler. It was so nice to visit with our family and friends this evening. Thank you so much Kristi for inviting us to your party.

Here we are. I think Matt looks hilarious because you can't hardly see him except for his eyes and mouth.

We had a relay to see which team could finish their baby food first. Our team won but I think we got lucky because when we would reach behind our back to grab our jar of baby food we go lucky. I believe our whole team grabbed fruit. The other team got prunes, peas, etc. yuck, yuck!!!!

This is Matt, Tamera, and Aaron Gray trying to eat donuts off the string.

Matt and Isabelle riding the 4-wheeler together. I think the adults had way more fun on these things than the kids did.

Hannah Gray. What a sweet little Indian she was tonight.

Just couldn't resist putting this picture of Matt with his cheese hanging off his chin. Truth is Aaron just told him something funny when he had food in his mouth and he started laughing. As you can tell by the look on Aaron's face it must have been pretty funny.

Mason and Isabelle love to play together but if they spend too much time together fireworks start. This could be because they are both very strong willed children or simply because they are both four year olds doing what four year olds do.

Baby Mikhi was Winnie the Pooh in a bumble bee costume. Costume party's just aren't as much fun when your just a baby. But he sure did get a little nap.

Matt with his brothers Aaron and Andy. Andy said he came as a professional four wheeler rider. I think that means I didn't care to dress in a costume. I think this picture is so funny. You can't hardly see Matt at all but you can see his pearly white teeth.

Aaron, Amanda, and baby Ben (who will be two next Saturday)
Austin was so glad to see Austin Gardner. They had so much fun playing games and riding the four wheeler. We didn't see them much the rest of the evening. Austin told me the other day that he and Austin Gardner never argued. He said "Mom we think just alike and agree on everything." Watch out Lisa I'm not so sure that is a good thing. Or we could look at the bright side, they say great minds think alike.
This is Grandma Libby and Japanese Isabelle posing oh so pretty.
Alanna was a sweet little princess.
The Afghan couple would be Lisa and Dave Gardner. Thank you so much Lisa and David for allowing us to have this time together at your home. It is always a pleasure to get together with you all.

PS. We didn't forget Cody at home. He was gone this weekend.

My 18 min. patience tester!!!!

My eighteen minute patience tester was the train I had to wait on this morning on the way home from school. I do not like to just sit and do nothing and I think that crazy train was testing me. It was the longest train (at least it seemed that way to me). This train moved slower then one mile per hour I'm sure. It was in no hurry at all. Then just when the last two cars come up to the road to cross, It Stopped. Now I really get frustrated with all these trains I must wait on in the morning either taking my boys to school or coming home from school but this just made my day. If you haven't realized it yet....almost twenty minutes of doing nothing is not fun for me. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
