Walkers' Trail

Jason's dad's headstone is complete!  Ruby and Misty did a great job selecting it! I think it's perfect.

Jason and I had "that kid" at a school event - the one who everyone was watching and laughing with but so glad it wasn't their child - this was Reid.  The picture doesn't do the gooey mud all over any justice!   he usually does really great at football games - except this day - a wee bit tired!   Fairytale day at school - he was the Big Bad Wolf. (get it? and the three little pigs!!)   later that day he became Superman and was flown around Hideaway by our favorite waiter! He's been talking about helping and sharing lately. He brought me this envelope last week. It was full of toys, and he had even found my fun stamps and put it on the front (correct spot, I might add - what a smart boy!).  He thinks it was mailed to kids who need toys. What a sweet heart! Jason sent me this from a baseball game - he forgot to check Reid's "self dress" abilities and he wound up with his Christmas fuzzy house socks and sandals all da...

We have had a nice past week. Kyle and I went on a date; Jason and Grant went on a date.  Kyle wanted to go to Dollar Tree after our meal!  Of all places!  :)   Kyle's baseball is over and Grant has six more days.  Here he is from the mound last weekend.   then at bat!   America's Greatest Homecoming was in full force last week.  Our family went to several of the events, including Hester street painting.  Reid and I even made the Stillwater Newspress!   Kyle's very own Pistol Pete drawing!   with his friend, Rodney.     We drove by the house decorations a little earlier than usual and then headed to a nearby lake for a night of camping.  It's been a year since we've been, and that is too long for our family! We needed a night together and away from the house.  The weather was perfect this year, and we had late sleepers on Saturday!   Smores by the fire! ...

Reid was able to meet #4 tonight!  He was really happy to find the guy that wears "his jersey, too!" While Reid was off with JW, Kyle and Grant had found some players to join them in a game!  This event went on for a solid 30 minutes.  Reid joined some and then would leave mid-play, much to the dismay of the Cowboys.

I love bike riding!  It's exercise but it always seems to go fast (especially when I'm not hauling a little person behind me). I took this picture for one of my volleyball friends as she keeps saying she'll join up but we've never made it work yet!   Kyle as soccer captain Stacy, Reid, and Kyle went to a pumpkin farm carnival while Jason and Grant went to baseball practice (I think we had much more fun!) Ropin' cattle We actually got lost in the maze. It was huge and tall! this is the fattest/biggest pig I've ever seen in my life (that's not saying all that much but he's still huge!) These two have always had a soft spot in their hearts for animals.  Grant tends to fall closer to me on this one with a little less love and cuddles for them. The highlight of Kyle's night - the DUNK TANK! Before After! We all went to the pumpkin patch (for Jason) on Saturday morning this was...
