Holy Cow, I can't believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week, of course that means that my birthday is too. I am getting to old, so I am opting again for my 15th Annual 21st Birthday celebration! But anyway, we will be heading back down to Texas for some Turkey and stuffing next week. We have decided to forgo the radiation and the molestation and will be driving down. We are going to pull the kids out of school a day early so we won't be so tired, and to miss the snow that is supposed to hit Colorado Tuesday and Wednesday. The kids are excited about seeing their grandmas and we are too, not necessarily the 13 hour drive though. Gracie of course will be going with us, and she is excited too. She has to get her beauty shop appointment over first before she goes. Can't take a stinky girl to see her grandmas!

We have been spending our time hanging out with the kids. Caribou Coffee is still one of their favorite places to go, and we really enjoy taking them for coffee, and talking to them. The girls have their first dance at their new school tonight. They have spirit week all week at school, and the dance tonight is 70's Neon. They are excited about it, and we are sure they will have a lot of fun. It is only for a few hours, but I am sure they will be talking about it all night. I guess Bouke and I will get a few hours with Cameron to hang out alone. We will have to find a movie on Netflix we haven't seen in awhile and pop some popcorn. That will be a lot of fun! We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow for two sweet little boys and that should be a lot of fun. We are going to the land of huge bounce houses, so I have to make sure not to give the kids a lot to eat before we go!!

All in all, it should be a fun few days; minus the 26 hours in the car!!

Back From Texas

Well, we spent a week down in Texas with all of the Grandmas. We had a good time visiting and catching up with everyone. As you can see, Memaw had a blast! Nana needed me to fix her a pot of jambalaya, so the first day we were down there, I headed out to the store to get the ingredients to make a pot. While we were at the store, Bouke and I picked up a bottle of our favorite Texas wine to have with dinner. Apparently Memaw liked it a lot too, because she got a little silly on it! The girls had a lot of fun teasing her about it too. We even posted some of the pictures on FaceBook, which made her VERY happy! Mom's new house is really nice and she is very happy there. Oma is getting ready to move into her new home as well. She is very excited about it, and we were able to help her get somethings ready for the move as well. Bouke got his mexican food fix at one of his favorite restaurants when we were down there too. We left in time though to make it back to Colorado for the kids to Trick or Treat. Alyssa decided to be a vampire cheerleader, Mikayla was a zombie, and Cameron was a skeleton. We did their make up and put their costumes together, and they looked great! They had a lot of fun trick or treating and ended up with a lot of candy. Bouke took videos of the kids and emailed it to the Grandmas. School started up again today and it was back to reality for them. Cameron didn't feel well though, so we had to pick him up from school this morning. He is doing better this afternoon though, so he will be back at it soon too. I can't believe that October is already over and that it is November with Thanksgiving right around the corner! Holy cow, where does the time go!
