Great Wolf Lodge

Since the boys are in 2 different schools, there Fair Days are opposite. Will & Andy's Fair Day was on Friday, October 4; and Ben's Fair Days were October 7 & 8. So since it's not as big of a deal for Will & Andy to miss as it is for Ben - we kept Will & Andy out of school on October 7 & 8 and went to Great Wolf Lodge. 

Oh my goodness ..... it was soooooooo fun! We had the greatest time! 

Homecoming Week! College Day

This week is Homecoming Week at Will & Andy's school. They have a different theme everyday; and today was college Day. They got to wear a t-shirt to their favorite college and blue jeans. We actually don't have any college shirts; so I borrowed Will's from our babysitter, Jamie; and Andy's from our neighbor's son, Jacob. I asked them to pose for a few pictures and this is what I got.

 

 

 

 

I don't know what the future holds. But hopefully they will go to Texas A&M. We shall see : )

 

My siblings & I

My 4 siblings & I hardly ever get together. It's sad that it took an occasion like my dad's funeral to bring us together. But my oldest brother, Danny, is in jail; my sister lives in Colorado; and we don't always see eye to eye.

When we all came together at my dad's funeral, we re-took the photo, in the same order.

A few family photos

We had a lot of family come for my dad's funeral. Although we weren't in a smiling mood, we took a few pictures. We don't see our family that often, and these times together; whether sad or happy; are ones we want to record. I wish we had taken more pictures; but I just couldn't bring myself to do it or think about it.
