halloween fun for those still young at heart

Big Chief and Pocahantus threw a real nice party and they even were thoughtful and invited the old folks to join them

Siblings minus one -- Nina your presence was greatly missed and I have no doubt that if you were here you would have added some class to this group of people!! 

can someone tell me what's wrong with that old lady?? I don't think she can see or stand up! OR maybe that dead man walking behind her is about to give her a heart attack

Happy Birthday to Big Chief... fortune was good to him this night, he got to pose with the prettiest girls in town

the ladies of the night

...and the MEN folk  - Mr Top Gun is strutin his stuff?!

now wasn't that right nice they invited us, we are barely standing up, but we came to party because we are still young at heart!

the hosts of the evening

eeks the dead man talking to an almost dead man

hostess of the mostest stirring her brew!  I wish I would have captured more of her marvelous decor.. Hopefully she did and will post so you can see how all out she went! 

now aren't they cute! miss flutterfly and her top gun man

I picked out my best house slippers for this occasion

who is this guy?!  Jeffrey wasn't sure who he was when he walked into the room

I guess pocahontus likes to bow down to her big chief

Zombie Man! SO happy he walked out of the grave to come to this party

Mr Top Gun is trying to impress the old man with his F16 stories

Toilet paper game

the kids are armed and ready! Still waiting on the cousins to arrive

why is this picture out of order.. oh well you can appreciate it where it is because I can't make it move!

Yay... the cousins have arrived!

my snapshot was a little late since I threw and then shot my picture.. Jeff said he got nailed in the head a couple times... probably from those cute little people who were sitting behind us. It was such a treat to have John and Katy there too!

Coach John Sheehy was honored that night too since the court is named after him - warms my heart! 

Fall for Fun

Fun fall Activities.

Breck posing with his pumpkin that he designed with an OU nose!

Somehow I missed kacey with her pumpkin..what a bad mommy.. I must have gotten distracted!  hmmm!! I'm going to have to do that before he wilts! Much to my surprise the kids began carving their pumpkins while I was on the phone and as I walked into the kitchen I found them both with knives stabbed into their pumpkins...eeeks.. glad there was not blood!

Scary Hair night at Team Kids

Kacey has spiders all over in her hair.. I think she had the scariest hair that night!

A day we love being a part of and this year it was beautiful

All proceeds go go help families in NW Arkansas who are adopting

Jeff ran the 5K, the kids and I participated in the one mile fun run and then we all had great fun running in the rubber chicken family relay -- in honor of living in chicken country! 

Breck's goal was to keep the title as the first runner to complete the one mile fun run in his age bracket.. he did super but came in second

Kacey and mommy completing the one mile fun run!

The Moving Crew - Finally unpacked and ready to party!

After many days of packing boxes and one very long sleepless night the prestons along with mom and dad arrived at 3:15am to their new "temporary home" in Arkansas.... then they unpacked their u-haul into the funniest of storage units - whewy.... glad that job is done --- for now - until it's time to repack it all back up and move into their "real" home :).... don't think about that part, john and Katy, it will rob you of your joy for today! but when you're ready -- we'll send Josh over to help :) We quickly initiated them into the land of FUN!

corn mazes and....
birthday parties!

Thanks for working so hard to be here in time to Celebrate Kacey for her family party!

We are THRILLED to have you living so closely to us.

WELCOME to the Land of Walmart and Hillbillies - we saw a few upclose when we unloaded your u-haul! Ha!!!

Yee-Haw Kacey's turning 10

On the Ranch, with my family, riding a horse..... were Kacey's requests for her 10th Birthday! Thanks to Uncle Rollin and Aunt Sandie we were able to fulfill all of her desires. She said it was the BEST DAY EVER... enjoy a few snippets of all things fun to do while on the Ranch!

(not in any particular order you will notice!) Riding Emmy
Round 'em up it's Cake Time!

We did enjoy pizza before eating our dessert! Kacey had requested "cold" pizza for her birthday dinner. So we ordered hers in advance and stuck it in the fridge to cool it off. The rest of us enjoyed ours hot!

Posing with her special friend Maddy

Riding the 4-Wheeler with Aunt Sandie out to see the "wild" horses in the field

they all LOVED jumping from one hay bale to the next

Taking the favored Tractor ride

There are moments in this life that I wish I could capture for always! Often I've wished I had my moms nack for writing poetry to capture those extra special moments with! But that is not my giftedness - I'll have to leave that part up to her.

These past 10 years have flown by and time with Kacey is pricelss. God has Blessed me beyond words - with an amazing Daughter whom I cherish every single moment that I get to share with her. Hard to believe she's 10 - she's my not so little girl anymore.

Many xoxo to my princess

Happy 10th Birthday
