 At our annual Halloween neighborhood party. We are so much fun! We all bring a dish of food to share and sit our candy out  for all the trick or treaters while we chat. Sounds super fun, huh? It is! :)

 This is SO out of order... My dear mother in law got all the ladies tickets to the show WiCkeD. It was SO good! I loved it. It was at the famous Capitol Theatre.

 Me and my fabulous sister in law Ally. I love her to death! She makes me smile. I miss seeing you around lady. Do you like my 80's hair style? Look'n good Nyc! Not! :)

 My sisters...Amy, Al, Sherie, Mom, Kristin and I way in the back.

 Al was looking super hot that day that I asked her to pose for me. Work it gil, Work it!

After the show we went to Olive Garden. That was yummy. I love when I get to spend time with these ladies. They all have SO much to offer. I enjoy their company and who they are!  I Love you ladies!

Ya...We get a little into Halloween

 So my friend Connie Webb and I decorated pumpkins this year with paint and glitter. It was super easy and fun!

 We had little friends to watch the process.

 Tried making Owl cupcakes. That was a process. I enjoyed it though.

 Went to the elementary today. I made Alayda pose in front of this window. It was so dang cute! I love all the pumpkins that this class made! Super cute. I love going to the school. It brings me back so many years ago.

 Holy Moly we are WILD! We went to the school carnival. The kids LOVE it! The got their hair sprayed, face painted, played games, had hot cocoa and went through the 6th grade haunted house. Super fun night for the kids!   (lady, Avery, Keely, Z and Meryn) I love Z's face! This child of ours cracks us up!

oh man Keely we are scared! (Rynny with Keys)

Leaves are Falling ALL around...time I was on my way.

Awe! Fall! I  Love the season of fall. The children were asked to rake up the leaves... They went out there to do it but could not resist having some fun too. :) Happy Fall everyone!

 4 VERY successful children. Brian, Laraine, Nancy and Dean. Don't mind the hair it was blazing cold and windy! Great picture of this great family!

I am just a "in law" but I think it safe to say after 15 years of knowing this lady I can call her grandma. Grandma "Kay"  was full of wit! She was full of life! I loved her laughter, her sweet little voice, her wisdom, her warm blankets she made for all of us. Her style. Her timeless beauty.    Bryce was super close to his grandma. He would talk for hours with her. Bryce would tease her and she would tease back. I loved her big smile when Bryce would walk in the door. She adored him. I know she adored all her grandchildren. She made them feel like they were her fav. She was a beautiful soul. I am so grateful to have known her and be apart of her beautiful life.  She died with her daughters by her side on October 12, 2012.

We  miss you grandma! :(  We will have some Oreo's and Coke  in remembrance of you! We love you dearly. :)

 p.s. Send some more birds!
