Halloween fun!


Halloween fun all began on Friday. My co-workers and I dressed up as PacMan!

We even made the other side of the costumes turn blue. ;)

I was Pinky!

We had fun with it!

Can you tell?! haha

Friday afternoon, GoGo came up and went trick or treating with us at Jim's office, WMT ISD.

Friday evening, Jim and I took Christian to his school fall carnival! It was fun! A chili contest and lots and lots of games for Christian to play! We were so busy I did not even get a picture.

Saturday, I took the boys to get their Halloween picture made at Legacy House...they always do a no sitting fee pic and only $12 for a sheet of pics! They turned out great!

But we had a lot of fun at the house before we left...

Saturday afternoon, I went to see my friend Misha at her sister Malen's housewarming party in Rogers. Misha is moving to New Zealand at the end of the year and has been living in Seattle the past few years so I was so glad to get to see her before she left!


Saturday evening, we went to a Halloween party at Jamie and Rachel's house.
I think there were like 20 kids there! Christian had a blast!

They tried to get a group picture of all the little ones but it was almost impossible!


This little duck costume was one of my favorites!

Christian loved playing with the little ones!

Dwight and Joanna with little Leo the Lion!



Sunday afternoon, we went to Chuck E Cheese with Brianna. She had to cancel her Halloween party because her parents had to fly to Michigan for a possible adoption.
Prayers for Chad and Jenn as they inquire into adopting a 20 month old little boy!


Christian and Andrew about to go trick or treating in our neighborhood

After dinner, I took Christian and Brianna trick or treating in Rogers in the Highland Knolls neighborhood. We have lots of friends from church in that neighborhood and there are lots of trick or treaters walking around!

Christian (Darth Vader) and Brianna (a mummy)

They had so much fun together! They even told each other "scary ghost stories" backseat while we drove along. ;)

We had a fun filled Halloween weekend!!!

Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween from Darth Vader and Yoda!

More pics to come of our busy weekend of Halloween parties, trick or treating and more!
Stay tuned!

Christopher Columbus...

One of Christian's recent assignments at school was to write two sentences about Christopher Columbus....

That works!
I am thinking I will save this one to go with his application to Harvard or MIT. ;)

Meg and Nora Kate's visit to Arkansas!


My friend Meg and her baby Nora Kate flew from Michigan to Arkansas for a visit. It was great to spend some time with them! They even came and stayed the night with us!

Andrew meeting Nora Kate for the first time! He was not sure what to think...

but Christian was ready to hold her! He loves babies!



Nora Kate ready to go out shopping!



Sweet thing just passed out while we strolled around!

Today, I put together a little "Sip and See" for them at Sweetbay Coffee Co. in Fort Smith.
Nora Kate was the best little baby for her party!

Dawn and Kinley

Kinley had on the cutest little "bling" shoes with rhinestones all over them...including the bottom of the shoe!

All of us have been friends since elementary school! :)

Thanks to everyone that came to the Sip and See!
Meg and Nora Kate, we miss you already!

Craft fair!

Last weekend was the big NWA Craft Fair weekend! Last Saturday, I headed to War Eagle with GoGo, Susan and Hope. We had a great time! The weather was beautiful and there were SO many people at War Eagle that the line to cross over the bridge was backed up to the tents! After War Eagle, we drove back to Rogers to go to the craft fair at John Q Hammons Center. The only things I bought were food! Haha! Bread mix, dipping oils, fudge, etc.
I look forward to seeing all the cool stuff but the food is the best!

Sunday after church, Jim and I took the boys to the Spanker Creek Craft Fair (which is right by our house). We walked around enjoying the wonderful weather but its all about the yummy food! We ate jumbo corn dogs, french fries on a stick, chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick...it goes on and on!



Christian loves to ride this "train" that is pulled by a tractor and the cars are made of old barrels.

Can't wait until next fall for craft fair....maybe I will try a deep fried Snickers bar. ;)

Pumpkin patch!

This past Saturday, Jim and I took the boys to the Bentonville Square Farmers Market and the pumpkin patch!

It was a beautiful day!


The boys loved the little band playing music!


Christian picking out our pumpkins!

Andrew had fun taking Jim on a walk around the pumpkins!


Happy Fall Ya'll!!!
