Halloween at school

The kids both had parties and parades at school and the school hosted a boogie on the blacktop this year.  All the kids got to dress up and each grade did a dance then they had a trunk or treat.  It was a lot of fun.  Jaren was a pirate again for the third year in a row.  Landrie a K-state Cheerleader and Ryland a monster

Lets just say Jaren did NOT want me to take his picture or a video of this dance you will see him shake me off after a bit and he was shutting down completely.  So it was either I stop or I get a video of him standing there not doing anything.

Landrie is perfectly fine with me being around and taking her picture

Jaren again would only let me get this one picture.  I thought I had till at least third grade to be super uncool, but I was wrong I am uncool NOW for him.  

Me and my godson!  He loves me :)

Me and my goddaughter!  She loves me too.

Maybe I will get a year or so when It is ok to be seen by me from Jaren, but for now I will just have to deal with knowing he loves me at home :)

Mini Cheer

Landrie participated in Mini Cheer again this year and was SOOOOOO much more involved and excite this year.  

She was so much fun to watch and have so much fun!!!  

At least I got these posted before she did it again the next football season ;)

At the end of the game they let any of the girls that wanted to go back out and cheer with the big girls go out and she was ALL ABOUT THAT!!!

Zabels visit

In Sept. Kelsey and the kids came for a short visit while Marshal was away on a trip.  They brought lunch up to school for Jaren and we had a great night.  

Can't wait to hang out with them again soon!!!

Grandparents day and parade

Our School had a grandparents day Breakfast and Jaren was lucky to have both sets of his grandparents there.

During this years football season the town opened up the parade to anyone that wanted to enter a float.  The kids got invited to be on a float for future owls.  It was so cute and their float actually won!

Opening football day/family day

First things first.  Mima Ginia update.  She woke up this a.m. not doing great and had to go to doctor and pnemonia was confirmed, but not blood clots.  She is in the hospital tonight and actually needing lots of Oxygen to maintain a good rate or breathing.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PRAY for her to recover from this and continue with her treatments.


Opening football day for this season Mark and I decided we wanted to have a family day. 

We had a great time and even included our annual Halloween costume picking party into the day.

Still here with some updates

Mima Ginia is doing great, all things considered.  

She has underwent her second round of Chemo now and while it is leaving her exhausted she is in good spirits and the nausea has been bearable.  

Thanks for all the prayers and please continue to send them.

After I posted last time that I had not thrown up for two weeks I threw up that night.  So Here it goes again after finally getting back on track and being 20 weeks along now HALF WAY!  I have not throw up in about two weeks and I have not taken any meds in 4 days.  Holding my breath.

My masters class is going okay.  Will be SOOOOO ready to be done with it.

Jaren is almost done with this season of basketball and I am so proud of him.  He is doing a great job of dribbling better and makes some great passes.  

Landrie and Ryland are doing great too.  Landrie can not wait to be a big sister, but is pretty sure that it is ONLY fair that this baby be a girl.  

Ryland is happy as ever and always smiling!  

Mark started a new position at Cargill and is very happy with the switch - if he is happy I am happy.  

I can't believe we have almost lived here for a year now and I have only hung one thing in the house, but I kept saying I was going to do that in the winter when we weren't working on stuff outside and then I felt like crap all winter and the weather has been such that we have found ourselves back outside on projects.  So maybe next Dec. I'll hang a decoration.  

Hope to catch up more on here soon since I have not gotten past posting Sept. happenings in our family on here :)  

Gotta catch up before the baby comes or I never will.
