Friends, Fire, and Football

That was what last weekend consisted of. We went to mom and dad's as soon as Jeff walked across the street from school. It was a GREAT weekend. Shelly and Bailey were there when we got there. We got around Sat and went to town, and I had my hair chopped off. It's super fun! I wish I could put a pic on here. After that we met some friends from church and went trail riding. I love riding horses. It has been nine years, and terrible accident later, but I still love it! I have to say it seemed a bit unnatural walking them in a straight line. It would have felt good to run. We got home just before the crew started to arrive...Every year we have a fall party complete with fire, hayrides, and this year a projector screen to watch the Hogs lose on. (no, that wasn't sarcasm...okay, maybe it was. BTW. Sooners won!!) The party was huge! Not sure how many came but it was a blast. It was awesome to spend time with my friends, The Jeff and Shawnna came early, so Shelly got to see Brayden and Dec together. For some reason the hayride was hayless this year but we had fun! Sunday we had a fish fry at church. We also got to take a tour of the new facilities too. The are WOW!!! I can't wait to see it finished. Well, I've run out of time. We're going to a football game tonight. The boys get almost as excited as their mommy! That gives me hope! I really need a football player or two in the family. Maybe Rileigh will want to be a trainer or something!! Have a good weekend.

Sweet Success!

Okay, in this case it may be stinking success, but success all the same. Declan is potty trained!! We haven't used pull ups in over two weeks. I'm really proud of him. For all of you mom's looking forward to that stage....I wish I could tell you some trick I used, but the fact is its all on Declan. I did the same thing I did with Edana and Aidan. Everytime, I got different results. Edana took a few months, Aidan took about a year, and Declan took a couple of weeks. I have one baby in diapers now and no more on the way!!!! I can't begin to tell you how wonderful that is. I have no pictures for this blog, but things are going well! Rileigh Cait is growing like crazy! She has two teeth now, and can roll just about anywhere that she wants. Edana is playing fall t-ball. She is definitely a newbie! The coach is great! He just calmly goes over how she needs to do things until she gets it. She might get pretty good in time, with some practice. Edana is still loving school. Poor Aidan still doesn't have much to do. He is making a few friends and he follows Edana to her friends. Aidan was trying to get out of going to school for about a week there, but he seems better now. They are both really picking up the accent. Cracks me up! Its homecoming week this week, so the town is buzzing! Jeff somehow managed to get elected m.c. I guess they figured he should do it since he is the speech teacher. We have a parade Friday and they have a special ceremony then as well as that night at the football game. They announce the queen the day they announce who all is in it, so its not a suprise the night of the game. That seems a little anit-climatic to me. Well, I guess that is about all. Oh me, I'm not doing much. Cleaning house, chasing kids, cooking dinner.... I do sneak across the street and hang out with my new friend when I can, and of course I always have running. As a matter of fact, I might go do that right now. Have a good day!!
