Ok - You tell me...but I think some things are worth the wait. Thanks to my procastination on posting my Halloween pictures, I was able to post them in a NEW and EXCITING way! At least it is new and exciting to me!!! A big shout out to my friend, Sarah, who spent some time with me the other day teaching me some of her 'tricks.' I'm a long way from her exciting blog with video clips, customized backgrounds, and music...but it's a start!! I never realized just how much MORE there could be to blogging!
The pictures from Halloween only capture a fraction of the fun that the kids had...and the candy they received! Dustin, Lisa, Taylor, Caitlin, Granny, and PopPop all came to our house which served as the base camp for the trick-or-treat trek. No telling how many lollipops and candy bars were consumed by the nights end...I'm sure A BUNCH! Luke really caught on to the spirit of trick-or-treating this year. It was several days before he stopped yelling "Trick or Treat!" at me. Oh my!

Would you trust this face??
Ok - this is TOTALLY out of character for me!! But I couldn't resist posting this picture (taken on Monday night) of Summer and her missing top front tooth. At this pace, by Christmas we might truly be singing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"
I just wanted to be sure that all of you could check out this grin...more photos to follow - especially our Halloween ones...stay tuned!

Happy Birthday to Kyle!
Like I said in my last post...I feel silly posting things that seem so out-of-date. However, I am only a few weeks behind on this blog...in my scrapbook I am (brace yourself for this one) FOUR YEARS BEHIND! I know - it is sad! I have worked on it over the past few months... completing a few pages here and there, but I am going to have to get into a serious 'groove' in order to make up 4 years of photographs and events.
Granny & PopPop came over and babysat the kids so that Kyle and I could go out to eat at the County Line. The food was fabulous!! And it is amazing how much more we can converse when the kids aren't with us. I love those kids...but it is sooo much more peaceful to go out to eat without them! When we got home, we had birthday cake - 1886 Chocolate Cake - one of Kyle's favorites - as well as icecream....HEB Creamy Creations ice cream...OF COURSE! The girls were hoping for 37 candles...but I decided to settled for a few less. No need to set of the smoke alarm! hee! hee!
Kyle celebrated his 37th birthday on October 28. I like to mention his age because he is once again a year older than me. ha! The girls spent many hours making him a diorama out of a shoe box. They couldn't wait to give it to him on his special day!! If you can't read it - the top of the box said,"Dad is cool and a star!" They placed birthday messages on the inside of the box, as well as 3-D figures that they made of themselves and him. They also pooled some of their allowance money together and got him an Academy gift certificate. Those girls ADORE their dad!
Luke was excited about Daddy's birthday. From the moment I began to make his birthday cake he repeated that it was Daddy's birthday. Really, it was more of a question - "It's Daddy's birthday today?" And one of those questions that he asked over...and over...and over. ha!

I am beginning to border on the edge of being so delinquent in my postings that they no longer seem relavant to me by the time I put them on here. Case in point...the Fall Festival at church was actually the Saturday before Halloween...but the pictures are just now being posted. Not to mention, there are pictures from Kyle's birthday, Halloween, and Kyla's soccer season...all of which need to be posted. I say "need," because for whatever reason (I suspect it has something to do with my life as a scrapbooker) I can't seem to just skip some events and come back to them later. I want to post 'chronologically.' That is fine when I am up to date, but not so great now!Anyways....expect those pictures to come in the not-so-distant future. Hopefully, before all of the turkeys and pumpkins are replaced by the Christmas trees and nativity scenes ha!
The Fall Festival at our chruch - CrossPoint Fellowship in Schertz - was actually a combination Fall Festival and Chili Cookoff. There were many fun activities for the kids - facepainting and crafts, as well as all the cotton candy and popcorn you could sneak past your parents. The chili was available to all...after the judging, of course...and there were hot dogs for anyone who couldn't stomach the chili. There was a hayride, but it was almost more of a limb dodge than a hayride....hopefully, they will trim a few limbs before driving through the trees next year.
It was just an outing for me and my girls. The guys stayed home and took naps.
One last picture - there was a pumpkin carving contest and grand prize winner was an amazing carving of the downtown San Antonio sky line. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but I think you can see why it won.
