THE KIDS HAD A HALLOWEEN PARTY! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! WE PLAYED GAMES, HAD PIZZA, AND DECORATED TRICK-OR-TREAT SACKS. THE KIDS EACH BROUGHT A BAG OF CANDY TO SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. THANKS ALL FOR LETTING YOUR CUTE KIDS COME SHARE IN THE FUN! I HOPE THEY HAD A BLAST! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!)

TODAY JAXEN WOKE UP WITH A SWOLLEN LIP! HE HAS A BITE ON HIS TOP LIP! I WENT AND GOT HIM SOME MEDICINE TO TAKE THE SWELLING DOWN. I COULD NOT RESIST GETTING A PICTURE. NOT SURE IF YOU CAN TELL FROM THE PICTURE THAT HIS LIP IS SWOLLEN. HE LOOKED SILLY TRYING TO EAT AND SMILE TODAY. POOR LITTLE GUY!

Last week when school was out my niece and nephew came and spent the day with us. We had so much fun! I was so excited to get to spend the day with them! I let them do a little craft from Rocks! They went outside and hunted for there rocks and came in and painted them! We also went to the park and went on a Hike. Wanted to share some pictures, the craft turned out pretty cute. Thanks Colton and Kaitlynn for spending time with Aunt Kamie, I love you two so much! You are awesome kids and I hope you had fun! I can't wait for you to come spend the day with me again! I Love you guys!

The kids had their last Soccer Game for the season. Jaycee has decided to do indoor soccer this year! She will start in a few weeks! They both are very good Soccer Players. Jaycee seems to live, and breath the sport. She loves playing! Jake says he does not like it because he has to run way too much. We keep trying to encourage Jake to play because he is so good! He scores every game, but I guess we will have to see if he wants to continue playing. Jeff and I really enjoy watching them play and have fun!

LAST NIGHT JAKE WOKE ME UP AT 1:00 AM CRYING AND KEPT TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH. HE SAID HE COULD NOT BREATH! I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD....THE CROOP! EVER SINCE HE WAS A BABY HE GETS CROOP AT LEAST ONE TIME A YEAR. I USED MY PARENTING 101, I STAYED CALM AND RAN HIM TO URGENT CARE! THEY IMMEDIATELY GAVE HIM A SHOT IN HIS LEG, OUCH! JAKE IS SO TUFF HE DID NOT EVEN CRY WHEN HE GOT THE SHOT. WE FINALLY GOT BACK AT 3AM, I WAS SO TIRED TODAY! JAKE'S LEG WAS SORE AND STIFF FROM THE SHOT! HE WAS EXCITED TO GET IN THE "BIG BATHTUB" AND RUN THE JETS. HE RELAXED IN THERE FOR HOURS! POOR SICK BOY! HOPE HE FEELS BETTER TOMORROW~!

Jaycee had her Horse Recital tonight. She did so good! This was her first year taking western riding lessons. A few weeks ago one of the horses spooked and scared Jaycee. For the last four lessons Jaycee fought and fought not to go. We continued to encourage her and told her not to let fear get the best of her. She was so brave and kept on riding! I was so proud of her, she did so good. She was so happy with herself she told us tonight..."I can't eat dinner, I am too proud of myself!" After it was all over she told us she could not wait until next year.

This weekend Jake had his Birthday Party! He was so excited! He has asked for over a year for a cell phone. What 6 year old needs to have a cell phone? He asked, asked, asked, and obsessed about a CELLPHONE! He told us for the last 6 months. "Mom you are gonna be HORRIFIED when I get my cell phone!" The last present he opened from Grandma was his long awaited Cell Phone ($30 Walmart 300 min. not bad huh?)! Grandma was the hit of the party. We thought Jake was going to quit breathing! Grandma and Mom had tears in our eyes...not sure why we were crying. It was just so cute how he reacted to getting his cell phone. WE WERE HORRIFIED! Happy Birthday Jake! I love you and hope you had a very Fun and Special Day!
