DRIVE THROUGH CHRISTMAS

Matt, Jace and I traveled up north to the Region

for Christmas this year and it was very busy.

We celebrated Christmas at nine different places!

There were too many people to see and not enough time!

Here are some of the pics from our travels...

THE BIG SLEEPOVER

Well, Jace had his first sleepover with his cousin, Jacob.

They played very well together and had a great time!

They even slept through the night!

Breakfast time!

Jace was very proud of himself when he

was able to put on Matt's work boots.

SOME ADULT HALLOWEEN FUN

Since everything is usually about Jace,

I decided to add some adult Halloween fun pics.

Matt and I went to Monkey Boy's Halloween

party at the New Albany Country Club on Friday

night. We had a "spooktacular" time! Ha!

Chef Prego and Michael Phelps

Daisy Duke (Jeremy) liked showing off his new boobs :)

Hippie Chick was impressed by Michael Phelp's
big package in those speedos :)

Backside of the famous Phelps

You wouldn't believe how many people wanted

to take a picture with Michael Phelps.

He was definitely a celebrity at the party.

Look at my blingin' medals

PUMPKIN CARVING AT GRANDMA'S

This past weekend we spent time at Grandma

Patti's in Patoka Lake. We had campfires,

a cookout and carved some neat pumpkins!

Let the carving begin!

Drew hard at work

Poor Luke couldn't handle the smell of the pumpkin guts :(

Kaden scooping out the guts

Justin was a pro at pumpkin decorating

These two bums just relaxed on the lawn

while everyone else carved pumpkins :)

Causing trouble

Get me out!

Grant and Justin putting on the final touches

The best decorated pumpkin award goes to Justin!

BATHTIME WITH MY COUSINS

Last night Jace got to hang out with his cousins Jacob

and Justin all night. They sure do have a lot of energy!

Trick-or-Treating at the Zoo

We went on our annual trip to the zoo for Halloween

with the Noble family this past Thursday.

The weather finally cooled down and we had a great time!

Jace enjoyed holding up his pumpkin for treats

Getting ready to go into the zoo with Braden

ROAR! Give me a cookie!


That was a darn good Jack Sparrow
