At Season's End---a time to celebrate

A little light rain never hurt anyone and can even add to the excitement of a boring football game! The BVN band luckily brought their bright blue rain ponchos with them to protect their instruments. The heavy rain occurred in the 3rd quarter of the game and did not slow the team down! Jessie spent the 1st half of the show dancing to the sounds of the BNV band.

Our family took advantage of a day off from school to enjoy the fabulous fall weather. After an IHOP breakfast of SCARY pancakes, we joined our friends--Bagleys--and ventured to a corn maze in a rural part of our county. There is something magical about getting lost in a maze and then finding your way through it. Radawn and I took advantage of the moment and let the kids run FREE! The maze was in the shape of the Boy Scouts of America symbol to celebrate the 100th Centennial Celebration of the organization.

Halloween has always been so creative for our family! Each child has expressed himself through the costume he/she chooses:

Brandon:

Carson:   always willing to make the "hand-me-downs" into new and different costumes.

Trick or Treat in 2010

Celebrating Halloween without Brandon was difficult, but we managed to enjoy the holiday our family has loved so much. Our creative juices were on vacation this year and we failed to create a "theme" event, but sometimes you have to "get real"

Trunk or Treat has been a tradition for many years at our church. While driving to the event, it always makes me giggle to pass over 4 other church's holding the SAME event. I like to think we were the FIRST to gather for treats from our car trunks!

After Trunk or Treat, we went to Grandma's house where she served us her famous chili and cornbread. Jessie had a fun time with Aunt Kim, Grandma, Daddy and I making some edible Halloween treats!  (well, at least Grandma's cupcakes were edible! The spiders were not)

A Sunday Halloween celebration is just not the same! Carson chose to not go out trick or treating, however, Jessie was very confused as to why we were not taking her to get candy! As a 5 year-old, she is really into getting FREE candy AND dressing up. However, we created a diversion by attending a party with friends held at---The Bagleys.
