Here you go...

For all my buddies who asked, the links are back!!! It's a "slow" night can you tell?

What is about a shower

that makes people sing? We have been pondering this phenomenon for quite some time. Steve and I are sitting downstairs right now listening to on of our children sing in the shower. Just for the record, 2 of the 4 are in the bed asleep!!! Oh the joys of being a parent.

News Flash #2

Casey only wears a diaper for naps and night time now. She has been working really hard at being a "big girl.". We are so happy!!!

News Alert!!!!

Landon can walk!!!
I somehow missed posting this on here!!! Poor 4th kid. He's been walking about a week and a half. Sorry to have forgotten to put this on here.

Are you ready

to go and vote? Tomorrow is the day and I hope that if you have not already done so, that you will get out and vote--it truly is a privilege!!! Steve and I voted on Saturday. It wasn't to bad--we only waited 3 hours. I know you're thinking how can 3 hours not be bad? Well last time we waited 3 hours to vote, we did it standing in the rain and this time we were inside a building.
Several of you know that I have strong opinions on this election and that my nerves have been totally shot at times. Well this weekend was just what I need. Yesterday our sermon was from I Peter 5. It was on being humble. Being humble is not something that happens to us but something we choose and after yesterday's lesson, I think it can be a good mark of where your spiritual walk. I will just say that I need to work on this area. Then today, Mimi sent me just what I needed. I'm going to post the link here. It's from In Touch Ministries. You know sometimes I just get in the way and get so wrapped up in my emotions and what I want/think/whatever that sometimes, I have to be reminded who is in control--God not me and He is sovereign.
So if this election, or work, or the economy has you stressed--or even life in general, then take some time today and read this and then have a chat (well actually we need to listen) to the one who is in control.
Have a great day.

Trick or Treat....

What a treat for us today, Daddy got home a little early!!!
Don't you just love how Landon grins these days?

One robot, one rock star, a princess and....

one very sweet and tired dalmatian!

We went to a carnival with Ella Rose and her family for a while tonight. It was fun but boy was it crowded!!! I think the girls had a blast. The older kids had a good time but they were chomping at the bit to go trick or treating. We worked it out so everyone got to do both. We did the carnival for a while and then came back and hit a couple (7 or 8) houses in our neighborhood. Now we have WAY to much candy!! Casey was so funny. She kept saying that she wanted to go trick or treating--not that she had any idea what it was but if the big kids want to do it then she must to. Well when we left Ella Rose to go home and trick or treat, Casey started crying that she wanted to go back to Halloween. Well I'm off to scope out the candy--if I don't get one of the good pieces tonight, then they will disappear!!!

Okay,

I thought I could force the post to go in the order I want them but alas, I can't. Don't miss the post about carving the pumpkins and how much fun that was for everyone.
