Happy Halloween and Fall Break

The kids and I went to Memphis to see Rusty's parents over fall break. Tyler had two weeks off and the girls had one week, so Tyler flew out and spent a week by himself with his grandparents. It was his first flight all by himself and he loved it. He was not scared at all. I cried more than he did, it was really hard to just put him on a plane and say goodbye. Everything went smooth. I was really glad, he wants to fly again by himself. We did some fun stuff while we were there. We did something everyday and the kids had a blast. Not only did they get to see their grandparents they also got to see great grandma Poulton. I want my kids to spend lots of time with grandparents I feel it is important. I never really had grandparents so I want my kids to have a relationship with theirs.

We did some really fun stuff. We went to the Children's Museum, My big back hard, shopping, and took a ride in a cinderalla carriage in downtown Memphis, the girls had a blast. We also went to Mudd Island which is a small version of the Mississippi river. We had the kids picture taken and then we went to build a bear. My kids have never done that and they loved it. Tyler got a dog with a dog carrier and he has slept and taken care of that dog like it was real. I wish he would do that with the dog we have. Over all we had a great time, we missed Rusty but enjoyed our time with his parents and grandma. Thank you Billy and Brenda for letting us come out. We love you. Here are some pictures.

I almost forgot. I got to go to Wicked with Brenda, and Grandma. It was so good. I want to see it again.

Picture Time

So we are in Memphis visiting Rusty's parents and we took the kids to get their pictures taken. I have to say that I have the best looking kids out there. They are just so darn cute. Here were some of the pictures. When we get home I will post about our trip out here. We have had so much fun. I even got to go see Wicked and it was awesome.

Making Caramel Apples

So last night we decided to make caramel apples. Scoty's kids were here and we had a great time. We had to unwrap all the wrappers. I was getting tired of it but the kids thought it was so much fun. Ian my nephew who is 11 helped me chop nuts to put on the top of the apples. He loved my nut chopper. The kids then enjoyed them afterward. Happy Fall to everyone.

I am also posting a couple of pictures of Tyler holding my newest nephew Bronco. Tyler loved to hold him.

First Day of School!!!!

So the kids started school this week. I am all alone in the mornings. It is really strange. I finally have some time to myself. Tyler started 3rd grade at a new school. Not only a new school to us but a new school for the neighborhood. Since we moved Tyler was so exctied for school. He could hardly wait. He loves school and being around kids his age. The girls started Pre-K, they are gone in the mornings. They love their school. They also go to a brand new school that just opened up this year. The technology is incredible. Next year when they are all in school all day I am not sure what I am going to do with my self. I am thinking of going back to get my nursing degree. We will see how things go.

I am posting pictures of their first day of school. I am also posting some pictures of some fish that the kids caught with dad. We live right by a lake and Rusty likes to take them fishing at night. They have really grown to love it.
