HAPPY Halloween!

 One of my most favorite days of the year!

LOVE all the Halloween FUN!

Now...tomorrow..............

bring on the Christmas music....

and all the Christmas trees! ha! :)

THIS one had a HUGE day! So she wanted to wear her new shirt from the Sectionals meet.............where the team came home as CHAMPIONS!

This was her look before heading to get ready with friends and then trick or treat!

I did get this picture of the 'real thing'.........of them as firefighters! I am not sure why they came up with wanting to be that...because the literally changed their minds 20 times.....

and firefighters dont wear safety suspenders like that, either, but hey, just roll with it! :)

And then they find friends!

Table ready!

Living through this crew since my crew is too cool to hang out with me anymore! Love when they come by!

LOVE my friend!

After cheer practice, Makayla came home with Alexis and they walked around for a bit!

And guess who walked up right when Lex was about to leave!?! A JOCKER! :)

We had a great crowd! I was expecting more since it was such a nice night though but...........dont get me wrong..we had a TON!

A pumpkin kind of night!

Love this tradition of eating bloody eyeballs and green brain spaghetti and then carving pumpkins!

Grey loves it...mostly loves running around and dancing to the Halloween music...but nonetheless, I love that we get to do it with him!

LOVE how the girls help me with fun Halloween fun...and Christmas fun (when its Christmas)!

SPOOKY!

Even more SPOOKINESS! 

Lily's desserts she made!

Now time for the action!

Lily was a worker bee! Daddy...well, did (not per Alexis) the rest of Alexis'......

just ask Lily. She will tell you how it really went! :)

See...Lily did hers all by herself! :)

The three amigos! 

Allllll the pumpkins! Alexis is the one with the star eyes. Lily's is two steps down from her and then Grey has his, to which he chose because 'that is my favorite type car!' :)

LOVE my front porch!

Alexis LOVED her pumpkin...that her Daddy 99%, I mean, she carved! :)

Trying to highlight all the pumpkins!

Our Eagles girl!

 Love this 7th grader and the lady she is growing in to!

Wordless Wednesday-throwback edition!

 I mean...I look back at this picture...

and just laugh so hard at the memories!

And...I mean...

my hair too! 

bahaha!

BOO!

 Yet another tradition going on this week!

We love to BOO our friends/neighbors!

The rule is that they have to live within our neighborhood. Well, Reece and Tucker live right outside ours....so...upon Lily's convincing.....

we did them last night!

Alexis is too 'grown' to do it anymore...

I have a feeling this may be the last year that Lily wants to 'BOO' people....

so I soaked it up as I watched her run so fast to drop the treat without being 'caught!' 

So, Monday...was well, Monday! Tyler not here so Caf for dinner means I dont cook and the girls get free reign to eat whatever they want. (to which they love!)

Well, yesterday we thought it was the Halloween dinner at the Caf so I thought I would score on not cooking two nights in a row and us enjoy the Halloween fun before going to 'BOO' Reece and Tucker. Well, they didnt have it...........but loving the Caf was still a check mark so it was fine there wasnt any Halloween music with our yummy food!

We headed to BOO after we ate so I got a parking lot picture! ha!

Off she ran! ha!

She left my car door open.......in the middle of the road....so she could rush back down and just hop in! ha! FUN memories!

Lucky Log!

 Lily learned a new tradition,yesterday, at Cross Country practice!

The Lucky Log!

To help bring them luck for Sectionals and to progress on to State, the team goes out and finds a 'Lucky Log!' 

So, that is just what they did yesterday!

I mean...I was NOT expecting it to be this big! :) Love traditions and love memories made!

The rest of the weekend!

 We had a packed full weekend so here are other tidbits of what was up! ha!

I mean....

when I get home, on Saturday, and there is a sweet treat on my front porch!

CRACKED me up! Of course, I knew who gave it to me! Misty.....yeah, she knows! Me...whisper! ha!

Alexis had her DD Halloween party! She was a princess! :)

She loves her little sister!

Sunday fun day of Church, lunch and then us girls shopped a little since Tyler is out of town before heading to the cheer competition. They did good but have a lot to work out in the routine. I have no doubt they will do that though!

3rd place!

It was over an hour and a half late from when they were supposed to compete and be done so it was late and boy was I tired! Whew!

I crashed when I got home!

HERE we are....back at the grind for a new week! It is Red Ribbon dress up week since it is Halloween week! Dress as a 70's chick! That is her decade for sure! :)

Our Strong One!

 Saturday Tyler competed in his first STRONG competition! He didnt know what to expect, but it was fun and he had a great time and glad he participated! 

There was a great turnout and a beautiful day even though it got HOT by the end!

All the different events that had to be done!

Look at him! The log lift!

I didnt take a picture of him doing all the events but... I mean, check him out!

This one was tough, the tire flip!

He did great and did alot!

They had a great group!

LOOK at him up there! He got 2nd place!! SO proud of him!

I hope he looks back at these pictures...and is SO proud of himself that he did it!

Friday night lights still in action!

 The season is winding down to where we had the last home game, which was Senior night, but up next is one more away game and then they made it to the first round of play-offs!

They had a HUGE win against St. Clair and it was a great game!

Thursday night they had their big bonfire to kick off the game fun!

These three are just tooooo cool for school!

Love those Friday night lights shining!

This crew surprised Alexis and it made her night!

It cracked me UP...........when Lily would walk by with her friends (being all cool and everything) they would yell her name and wave. OH my goodness it was hilarious how Lily was as she heard them! ha! 

The star of the night!
