Above Cloud 9 !!!

If there were a cloud higher than Cloud 9 Sky would sitting right on it right now. No I take that back she would be sitting on the cloud above the cloud higher than Cloud 9 ;) Did I lose anybody yet? In other words she is ecstatic right now. Her Grammy and Papa bought her and her cousins a new pony today. He is a Welsh pony and he is beautiful. Sky can't stop kissing him. His name is Comanche and he is a white and red paint. Skylee has really taken up with horses from birth. Horses are the first thing that comes out of her mouth in the morning and the last thing that comes out of her mouth before bed. She loves them!

Introducing Comanche!!!

Skylee Kissing Comanche!

Thank you so much, Grammy and Papa! You guys are the BEST!!!

I LOVE These Baby Blues!

Locks of Love

I have what you can call somewhat of a bucket list. I'm not planning on dying anytime soon, but there are a few things that I have always wanted to do before I do. And one of these items I can cross off my list tonight. It was to donate my hair to Locks of Love. I have always been passionate about this one. So for the past 2 years I have been growing my hair out just to in turn, cut it all off. Patience is a very valuable quality and I have had plenty thus far. Well up until tonight anyway! I scheduled hair appointments for me, Sky, and Doss tonight and when we got there I had Sabrina measure to see if it was long enough. All I needed was 10 inches and sure enough I had 10 inches to spare. ONLY 10 INCHES to spare at that!! I told Sabrina, "Let's go for it!" So we did and now I'm kinda wishing my patience would have lasted a couple months longer. But oh well. My new motto is, "It's only hair~It will grow!" So here are some pics to walk you through my first checked off item on my so called bucket list.

BeforeCheesy Pic I know. But I had to have it ;)
Sky got to do the honors of the first cut!
Take a look at her haircut.
It turned out beautiful :)

And this is all you get to see of it.

If you wanna see the outcome, maybe we will run into each other soon.

Hint: Its shorter than it has ever been.

But remember, "It's only hair~It will grow!" If you ever get the urge to donate to Locks of Love check out this link.

Rake Leaves? Useless!!!

Around my house this time of year the green grass turns to brown leaves. There is no sign of the ground anywhere. So I decided to rake up some leaves while the kids were playing around me. And everytime I got a good pile going......

THIS HAPPENED!!!!!

I love childhood!
I absolutely love watching my kids laugh out loud and play to their fullest.

Doss thought this was the coolest thing ever. I think by the time we went back inside he had picked up every single leaf we had in the yard.

As you can tell my nephew Caden enjoyed it also :)

These are the days I could sit back and enjoy forever.

They are going by entirely too fast.

I love you kids! Ya'll are my World!

Flash to the Past!!!

Halloween Fun!!

Introducing Little Miss Shirley Temple Skylee has really shown an interest in Shirley Temple movies this year. So what better for her to be for Halloween, then Shirley Temple herself! At the looks of this picture I have no idea what I am going to do with my Skylee Brooke. She was really playing the part! This is the first year that Brandon has gotten to join us for the trick-or-treating so we made the best of it ;)
He was not the happiest camper ;) But always a great sport! This is the kiddos at Grammy and Papas house before we went to trick-or-treat our 2 houses that we were going to. Yeah I said 2 houses!
What was I thinking curling Sky's hair for an hour just to
trick-or-treat 2 houses?
Oh well, those 2 houses got to see how darn cute my kids were. ;)Gettin a little bit of extra Papa lovins before we hit the road.This is my serious chicken! Never cracks a smile in this suit. What am I saying, it takes a lot for him to crack a smile in any suit ;) But I can get him to do it. Love HIM!!! On our way to our last house! Skylee got the best Halloween treat at our first house. We trick-or-treated "Our" Patty's moms house and she had Skylee a Shirley Temple Paper Doll Book Set! Sky absolutely loved it. And Doss got lots and lots and lots of gum and a tractor. Your mom is so super sweet Patty!

Then we arrived at my Grandma's house.

I think this is where my mom gets her obsession with Halloween.

Grandma is the life of trick-or-treating!

She dresses up every year and when the kids come to her door

to get candy they never know what to do.

I love you Grandma, your the best.

Introducing "Grandma" I don't know what she is dressed up as? ;)

This is 5 of the 10 and 1/2 Great-Grand kids!

The whole gang that dressed up this year. Yeah we are a CrAzY bunch ;) But we have fun!

Can't leave a gathering without every group picture possible.

My Halloween Sweeties! I could just eat them up!

This is My Papa.

He always just sits back and watches Grandma scare all the neighborhood kids ;)

And this here is the BEST DAD in the World!!! I love you Dad!

Doss knows which one to go to! Papa will always open up his candy for him!

"Right where I wanna be!" There is no better place then between Grammy and Papa. This is the kiddos divvying up their candy stashes. I love these days of their lives.

And this is Super girl taking her dad on a flight around town ;)

I hope that you have enjoyed our Halloween night! I know that we did!
