Jaygen's School pArTy!

Jaygen was super excited to wear his costume to school. They couldn't wear masks but it was still all good. All the students sang a few songs and then paraded around the gym for the parents. The kids looked pretty cute and so did the teachers. I wish I would have taken pictures of them. They had great costumes!I didn't have my flash on so this picture is really dark but you can kinda see Jaygen on the back row in the middle. After the big parade we headed to his classroom for his party. I got to help with it and we had a great time.

HaLoWeEn PaRtY!

A group of us decided it would be so much fun to have a Halloween party...and it was. We kept it pretty simple with yummy food and a few games for the kids! It was mostly fun to see everyone all dressed up:) Pace-Bull Rider Briggs-Boxer Jaygen-Ninja Turtle

This is the only picture I got of my little family. Briggs was so super sick this night and was not in the partying mood. :( Todd ended up taking him home as soon as we were done eating. I wish I would have gotten a picture of me and Todd. We dressed up as a 50's couple. Todd looked hot in his black leather coat and tight pants rolled up. He even had a comb in his pocket to keep his hair slicked down...ha ha...what hair?!

Some of the games we had were eating doughnuts on a string, treat walk, decorating sugar cookies, tattoos, and coloring table. The kids seemed to like it all.

Jaygen...totally cheating with his hands :)

We wanted to get a picture of all the kids...well atleast all of them we could get rounded up. What a rowdy bunch! :)

And here are the "hot" moms that put it all together! It was a great time with great friends!!!

The Deer Hunt!

What a deer hunt?! We loaded the trailer and headed to the mountains with Todd's brother Kevin and his family, Todd's parents, and my dad. We had a great deer camp! This is my first year drawing out for deer so I was pretty excited to shoot "my own" buck. Todd and his brother Kevin also had tags so I just knew that at least one of us would come home with a buck...especially since Jaygen had been praying for weeks that Todd and me would get one. Well, the truth is that we didn't even see a buck (accept for on Sunday when Todd wasn't carrying a gun). I could not believe it! It was sooooo disappointing. Thanks to grandma Mullen offering to watch my boys, I was able to go on the hike opening morning and then again that afternoon but I had no luck. I was so frustrated. The hunt itself was a big let down but we still had a good time. Grandma Mullen and Candace decorated cupcakes and did crafts with all the kids while I was hunting with the guys (thanks gals for your help) and then Grandma Mullen carved pumpkins with all the kids too.

The weather was freezing the whole deer hunt and it had rain so much that it was really muddy. Then the last morning we were camping we woke up to snow. What a way to end the deer hunt....minus the deer!!!
