Wrapping up October

(again, these uploaded in reverse order)

We had a great month! Cooler temps meant a lot of being outdoors.  We hosted the Junior Klife boys at our house on Halloween. Here's a pic of a few of them and their leader.

Grant went to a Halloween party a week early and went as Dwight from The Office.  It was super.

Reid went with a very unique costume - OSU football player.

Pizza Pizza!  Kyle was Little Caesar and delivered pizza to his friends at his party (not really but he did use the pizza box when he went to a few houses).  His party had about 40 or 50 people, so he said. Such a social group of kiddos.

Reid's buddy, Tate, asked him to go with his this year. They met up with Reece and Ethan.

OSU Alumni Association celebrated the 100th homecoming this weekend. Melanie and I were execs 20 years ago, and Lacy's husband, Steve, was with us. We're all raising our kiddos together in Stillwater which is pretty awesome.

There was a reunion of all past Homecoming Execs before Walkaround. Four of the seven from my year made it with several from either side of us also being there. Here are the four of us with Megan, the director a year before. 

The Raiders finished football in 3rd place.

And probably had the most fun!

Pioneer baseball had their annual wiffleball tournament, and Grant was on the western team. He's wearing chaps. :)

We spent a beautiful day at the land trying out the boat.

First time for us to take Eddie since it has been freshly brushogged.  He LOVED it.  I actually enjoyed it, too, as it had been months since I'd been out there, and when it is freshly cut, I will actually get out and walk around.  It was a beautiful day!

Picture time in our front yard.  I have very few pictures of the boys this year (Easter and a beach shot with Kyle's shirt off) so I needed a good one.  I got it! Four great models.

So Jason has one leg bent here but not both... does Kyle officially pass him in height or is it Kyle's hair and Jason's slightly bent legs?!?

GG had the boys over to paint pumpkins. Kyle did Frankenstein.

And we have skeleton.  Very meticulously done by Reid.

Kyle wanted to have a birthday party for his friend, Colt, so we did that last Sunday night.  (it has been a very full week as everything so far in this post has been within one week of each other, and that's only the things I took pictures of!)

Our Westwood 5th grade boys at church!

Reid and I slept in the hammocks in the backyard last weekend.  It was the first cold night, and we headed in at 6:45 am, but it was a good memory!  He spent 2.5 hours one afternoon reading a book in his hammock last week.

 Happy and blessed! 

KLife, Peter Pioneer and Reid's flag football

Reid and two of his closest buddies unintentionally tripletted (is that a word?) at Klife yesterday.

Westwood buddies - Reece, Cooper, Breck, Isaac, Tate and Reid

Here's the whole group but the other 4 faces are all 4th graders.

 Grant was asked to be on a mascot development committee.  The original Stillwater mascot is on the left (ugh - he looks so freaky) and the newly redone one is the cheerful Disney character man on the right.  Job well done!

Reid and the Raiders are down to their last football game of the season.  He was able to play quarterback most of the game last night, and even though they lost by 2 touchdowns, he played good and had fun (the other team is winning the league and was VERY intense). 

The little buddy going after him right here is Evan, his new buddy from the summer. Tucker is also on this team.

It seemed Evan and Reid were going at it all night!

Quarterback sack! 

We'll keep him!  :)  Oh my heart....
