So you think you can dance!!!!!

Sorry ladies! I officially have the best husband in the world! I love surprises, and Kevin got me good the other day. He told me that we were going to his friend Chris's bday party at Dave and Busters. He arranged for the girls to stay the night at Kristi's house so we could stay out late. While we were eating dinner he handed me an envelope with So you think you can Dance tickets in it. I am obviously a huge fan of the show and really wanted to go, but when I saw the price of tickets I just forgot about it. Well, Kevin didn't so he found some great seats for a great price on Ebay and surprised me for my birthday (it isn't until Dec. 16th).

We had a BLAST!!! When we got there the show was just starting. I got so emotional!! I was literally star struck. I was tearing up with excitement. So much so that I couldn't even talk!! (I am blaming my reaction on pregnancy hormones, because I have never acted this way).

The entire show was fantastic. It was so fun to revisit all the dances and dancers I saw months ago. I hope we will get to go again next year.

Fall Photo's

Who doesn't LOVE the fall? Perfect weather, gorgeous scenery, kids playing in the fallen leaves. So of course, we took our girls
out to capture the memories. We really got some great shots.
These are just a few. It is wonderful having a photographer for a
husband, but it is hard to have to wait for all the editing and
transferring to be done before I can get my hands on the pictures.

Halloween Night

The Good witch and the bad witch
Mark is a Jail Warden. I guess these two cuties are his prisoners.
Glinda the "Grumpy Witch"



Kristi the Prisoner, Laurie the Wicked witch of the West, Kenzie the Hippie

The Wizard of Oz crew

Every year I pull out my sewing maching to test my slowly improving skills. This year I decided to do do the wizard of Oz. I chose this theme mainly because I thought Asa would make such a cute little scarecrow. Was I right? or was I right!!!

Glinda the Good witch
Dorothy in her little red chair
Reese looked so stinking cute as Dorothy. She loved her shiny red shoes and she carried toto around all night long. This dress looked so cute on her, I want her to wear it to church (Would that be weird?). My favorite thing about this picture is how well you can see her one snaggle tooth. What a sweet little girl!
Leah would look cute in a potato sac, so I shouldn't worry. But when I first made this costume, I made it according to the pattern. And I just didn't like how it turned out. The sleeves weren't puffy and the skirt was flat. I tried to ignore my distaste because I still had to make Dorothy and the scarecrow costumes. She wore it the original way to the church Trunk or Treat party and everyone kept saying "what a pretty little princess" even with Dorothy and the Scarecrow next to her.
That convinced me I needed to Vamp up the Glinda costume! So I added the big puffy sleeves and added more fullness to the skirt. My efforts were rewarded when she went to a house all by herself and the people said "Here comes Glinda! You look so beautiful" Then of course Leah had to get into a big discussion with the lady about how Reese is Dorothy and Asa is the scarecrow and her mommy was the Bad witch.....
This year, My Vote goes to Asa for the best Halloween costume! He was born to be the scarecrow. His cute little face and unstable walk just fit the character perfectly. He was such a trooper too, he didn't even try to pull off the hood! (well maybe a few failed attempts).


Group shot. Nobody is smiling, but it shows the costumes off (and that is what is important right!? We had such a great Halloween. The kids loved going from house to house getting candy. Whoever came up with Halloween trick or treating should get an award for making so many kids happy at one time!
