Trick or Treat 2010

We had a busy Halloween this year! Hailey really wanted to attend Hannah and Morgan's girl scout party so we did. The party was a big hit with the girls, however, not the boys. It was crowded and both Sam and Tyler were in need of a nap so Todd and I left early to take them home. Hannah and Morgan got to dance and spend time with their friends and Hailey won a door prize. This is some pictures of the kids dress up for the party. They did not want to pose for a picture so this is the best we could get.

We came back to Houston early on Sunday so we could trick or treat here since it was a school night. The Zamora's invited us to come over for dinner and trick or treating. Hailey and Tyler were really excited because they think Zara and Violet are lots of fun. We all had a good time and I think we will have enough candy to last us a year. Tyler is very happy about that. I have not been very good about taking pictures but here are a few.

This is Hailey, Tyler and I outside our apartment.

The kids walking up to a door. I'm not sure if you will be able to see anything or if it is too dark.

Some pictures from trick or treating! Sorry they are not the best pictures:(

Little Cousins

This is what happens when the older kids are in school. The little ones take over the toys! This video makes me miss my little sweeties Jack and Callie:(

Springtime Fun!

These are just a few picture we have taken this spring. In the first one Ty is helping his Daddy do some landscaping at Goo goo's new house. In the second pic the kids wanted to pose with Goo goo's flowers. They are so silly! And the third and fourth picture are just some pictures we took at church since we were all dressed up. We have been very busy lately. We have been trying to get things crossed off of our To Do List. We have are flower beds planted and Todd put shelves up in the garage! Both of those things were really needed and a big improvement. I have also gone through Hailey and Tyler's closets and weeded out the outgrown clothing. This weekend we are going to paint Goo goo's pool house and work on getting the pool ready for swimming. We still have a long list with our house, Goo goo's house, and the ranch. However, it does feel good to get some things crossed off. Hailey will be performing in "The Wizard Of Oz" next week with her Theater Club. She will play the parts of a munchkin and a yellow poppy. I can't wait! Tyler has been enjoying his Easter candy and hangin out with Sam. Sam has a new name for me. It is Mama Toot-toot. He is so much fun. Sam is always good for a laugh!

Building A New Life

It has been a really difficult year for my Mom as everyone knows. However, she is moving forward with her life. She is building a new house and is excited about it. The builder has been making great progress every week. I have already gone with her to pick out lots of the fixture for the interior. At this rate she will be in her new house in no time. Here are so pics.

We didn't get many pictures this year but here are a few. Tyler was a Football Player and Hailey was, or course, Ariel. The first picture is the ghost that we made. (Thanks Steph's friends for the idea!) Before trick-or-treating the kids bobbed for donuts and I scared them with a mask. I asked Todd the bring the girls in so I could jump out at them. Well, he brought Tyler and Sam also. So I jumped out of the closet expecting to scare the girls a little and instead I terrified all the kids. Tyler would not have anything to do with me for the rest of the night. He just kept telling Lizz, " Mommy scare me, Bad Mommy." Sam ran out faster then I have ever seen a baby run. Hailey and Morgan screamed and ran a little ways, and Hannah was paralyzed with fear. All she could do was stand there and hide her face. I didn't think the mask was that scary. At least Tyler was the only one mad at me. The girls thought it was all part of Halloween fun.

SAM!!!

So, my Mom and I are now keeping my nephew Sam during the day. What were we thinking to sign up for this. Sam is as cute as a baby can be, but he is at the "get in to everything stage." Just like Tyler, Jack, and Callie before him he loves to get into the kitchen shelves. Here's the proof!


Tornado Sam has moved on leaving his path of destruction behind! This is just a small portion of the mess caused by this powerful storm. We just might have to rename the livingroom tornado alley.
