Little Darlings.

Ben and I decided we were having Thanksgiving here this year as opposed to running back and forth between our family's like we usually do. So Wednesday we hung around the house getting things ready and all was well until this! -->

Our little darlings decided the living room looked better painted in dry eraser. Uggggh. There went my peaceful evening. Don't worry I made the two little dears help scrub it off, not to mention added a little warmth to their behinds. I sure hope that is the last I see of markers for a while!

On the bright side we had a great time on Thanksgiving. We had a lovely feast, played some games and watched Iron Man in our theater. Fun, family and food. Loved it.

Audrey lost a tooth!

She has been waiting for this day for months! (or has it only been a few days of her constantly saying "will it fall out today Mom?" Last night just before Papa Brent's b-day dinner Ben pulled it out for her. We all cheered and clapped. Ok I know this isn't a new phrase but brace your self- She's getting so BIG!!

* I took this pics last night, tired eyes and all, because I had to have a shot of the first day of her jack-o-lantern smile!

Hilly-Billy Hoe Down

Our church put a Hillbilly Hoe Down this Halloween for the kids. Audrey is convinced its called the Hilly Billy Hoe Down :) We got the kiddos dressed up and made a couple trick-or-treat stops before we made it to the church. Audrey and Jack had a blast and are still talking about the different games they were able to play. I thought this was much better than running around freezing going door to door for candy.

Racing with the Boys

Ben went with his friends, Phil, Justin and Luke to the Halloween Classic in Eagle, Id earlier this month. He stayed 6 nights and STILL didn't get sick of racing. He didn't win any trophies but is already planning next years trip! I told him he might have to let us visit him there for a day or two. They guys slept on matresses inside the trailers (some just on the floor!) can you say cold and uncomforterable? They also ate disgusting things like canned chili and burritos. It was a really, really long week with the kiddos by myself but we very much appreciated Daddy when he got back!
