BOO-kly!

This is Halloween week! My kids at school are having so much fun talking and singing about Halloween. We have a song called Witches Brew that has some really neat hand motions. They pretend that they are making some witches brew and stirring it in a cauldron. TOO CUTE! I went to Wal-mart and got one of those pumpkin carving kits. It is so neat. I had never seen one of those before. I let my kids vote on which design we would carve. They decided on a ghost. They each got to take some of the seeds home! I think they enjoyed it. We also voted on his name. They threw out some names and then we voted. The top 2 names were BOO-kly and Little Bitty Pretty so we had a runoff. BOO-kly won! Today I spotted several of them going up to him and having some conversations....wonder what they could possibly be talking about?!?!?!

I am ready for Halloween! We are going over to some friends house to play cards and welcome the trick-or-treaters! I always love answering the door and seeing how all the children are dressed. I can't wait till I have a baby and can take him/her trick-or-treating! What are you Halloween plans??

My Signature and My Wonderful Hubby

I am so excited my friend Effie showed me how to make a signature on the the bottom of my blog. What do ya'll think??? Not many people comment on my blog and that is ok (well really it isn't)! haha! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week this week! I am having a great one...the hubs has made this week so much fun for me. On Tuesday night he called me after school and said to go home and get changed we had to be somewhere by 7. He wouldn't tell me where we were going. We pulled up to Robinson and he took me to see Mama Mia!!! It was the best show I have ever seen. The movie was not good to me but I love the show! Then today at school I was eating lunch and he sent me flowers. WOW! I am super impressed. I am so very lucky to have a wonderful husband! Thanks Kev!

Arkansas Traveller 100 Mile Marathon

This weekend Kevin and I helped work an aide station for the Arkansas Traveller. I thought Traveller was misspelled all weekend but that is how they spell it. Anyway, it is a 100 mile marathon around Lake Silvia and the surrounding areas. Our station was called Pumpkin Patch and we had pumpkin pie, potato's, crackers, pretzels, and other goodies. Kevin's job was to fill up their water bottles with HEED, Gatorade, or water. My job was to cheer them on. I think I did pretty good...Lord knows if you are going to run 100 miles, you need some cheerleading. The race started on Saturday morning at 5:30am and the last runner came in 30 hours later. The winner ran it in 17 hours at the age of 43!!! Now can you imagine running 100 miles at this age....I can't imagine ever running 100 miles and the oldest person was 75 now that is just amazing. I can't get over it. I checked the results and he finished finished the race, where as only 1 twenty something finished the rest dropped out. Kevin and I have talked all weekend about how this is more mental than physical, don't get me wrong you have to be in good shape, but this is a very rocky area and on trails, not on pavement. Not to mention you are running throughout the night in the dark woods where bear, snakes, and spiders are lurking. Sounds like a horror film to me.

Kevin has been inspired to run a marathon! He has always been very athletic and enjoys running,(he ran a 4.5 40 in high shcool just to brag a little) so I think he is going to start training so that he can do it! I will be there to cheer him on. I am not a runner, but you never know maybe one day I will run a 5k. Small steps here people, don't laugh! Did I mention that we camped out on Friday night, I am not a camper, but I will say it was the best camping experience I have ever had. We slept in K's avalanche and that was fun we looked funny and I coudln't stop laughing, but it was a great time. I hope we can work it again next year.

Fall is here

I am so excited that fall is here! It is my favorite season and I love everything about it. Kevin and I went went with our friends Tiffaney and Aaron to the Central High School football game on Friday night. We had so much fun. One of my favorite things about fall is high school football games! I love the food, fun, and fellowship! I had several friends that went to Central and I was glad to get to go to their new stadium. It was great...sorry that they didn't, but I think they are used to it. They haven't won a game in 15 straight games. Maybe they hate change who knows. (just kidding). We went to Denny's after the game and ate some really unhealthy food, but we laughed so much that I got a workout!

Saturday we watch football all day. Too bad the Razorbacks didn't win. I hope that we will get past it and still have a winning season. I think that Mallet is good for our team. Does anyone know what those little things are on the back of their helmets this year. They look like little mallets I just wondering if anyone else noticed.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week. Congrats to my friends Diane and BJ Lafferty. They had a baby girl yesterday. Her name is Mallory Catherine. I can't wait to meet her. I know they will be great parents.

Wedding Book!!!

I know it has been almost a year since my wedding, but better late than never. I got to see a proof of what my what my wedding book is going to look like. Since I used to work at Gillum Photography they have really worked with me and let me pick certain pictures that I wanted in my book. I am very pleased with the proof and now it is being ordered. I wanted to give you a sneak peak!

UFC 103 in Dallas

Thank you Dana White! (UFC PRESIDENT) for giving us 10 free tickets to UFC 103 in Dallas. My friend Natalie follows Dana on Twitter and she saw that he was going to be at a mall in Dallas giving out tickets, so she called her friend who lives in Dallas to see if she could go get some tickets. She found Dana and he gave her 10 free tickets for the fight on Saturday. Let me say that these tickets sell for $360 dollars a piece. We lucked out big time. We thought we would be in the nose bleed section and wouldn't be able to see a thing, not the case. We had amazing seats and got to see some celebs! Hershal Walker was sitting not far from us, as was Tido Ortiz and his wife Jenna Jameson....don't go there in your mind!!! HAHA she is in the adult film industry! As I have said before my hubby loves UFC and sometimes thinks that he is a UFC fighter in training. He couldn't believe that we were going. We loaded in the car at 2 on Saturday and made it to Dallas by 7! We sold some of the tickets and made money to get a room and to have fun while we were there. I stayed up to 2am and I don't do that anymore so I have been so tired ever since we got back. Hope you enjoy the pics!!
