Zhu Zhu Pet shopping

The kids have Zhu Zhu Pets on the top of their Christmas wish list this year.
I received a tip from Candi that Wal-Mart was going to have them featured in their Sunday ad, so I did some calling and found out that a somewhat local store had some and was going to be putting them out at 12:01 am. A friend and I ventured out on Saturday night at 11pm. (that is late for this mom!) We found out that they were giving out numbers, and there was a limit of 2 hamsters per person. Well, my friend didn't want any, but she got numbers anyway because I was trying to get some hamsters for Candi as well.
Yeah - they had 32 hamsters and we both got 2!



















What a fun adventure. I couldn't do that every week because I was sure tired the next day, but I would say it was worth it. My girlfriend (Amy) and I had some great girl time!

Sunday Dinners

Sunday dinners at Grandpa and Grandma's are always good. It usually means grandma's homemade mashed potatoes, some sort of meat (usually roast) and lots of good sides.
This past month, we had our last dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house before they moved to the condo.
It was so nice outside, that after lunch, the kids (big and little) played outside. Allyson kicked the football with my cousin Jesse, and had fun spinning with my cousin Trent. (Caden was home sick with daddy).




















































I was even able to get a picture of Carly in her "cute outfit".

Halloween photos

Wow - it has been almost a month since I have posted. Where have we been? HERE!
just keeping busy with life.
Here are a few pictures from Halloween.
The kids didn't have school on the Friday before Halloween, so they were able to go trick or treating to the hospital with their friends. They had a great time. Since I work there, I was able to be the "guide".














Allyson and her friend from daycare - Maddie



















Here are the 3 Scooby Doo's! Braedyn, Mitchell, and Caden.



















Caden was sick (H1N1) on Saturday (Halloween) so we stayed home and just watched movies that night. He was also sick the whole next week, so we pretty much laid low and tried to get better.
