Veggie Tales Live!

Saturday we went to Veggie Tales Live! Victor and Maddie were so excited. We actually had front row tickets. However, Victor got a little scared so we moved back to the last row :) This was actually better because the kids had a better view of the characters! It turned out to be a great time! Thanks for going with us Mamo Christy and thanks Daddy for getting the great tickets!!! (Group photos by Ron Grooms-----inside joke for Christy) Before the show getting ready to go!
Some much needed snacks----oddly enough there were only some salty snacks at the VEGGIE TALES show.
Say Veggies!!!

It's Halloween!!!

We had a blast tonight!! The weather was perfect, the food was good and the company was even better! We went to Mom's house for some chili, barbecue and other treats. Then headed out for some Trick-or-Treating. The kids were so excited and did a great job collecting candy and using their manners (lots of thank you's). We adults got some good exercise and some wonderful fall air. Thanks to everybody for cooking, the goodies and a great family night!! P.S. there were so many good pictures I had a hard time picking and choosing---this is a big post!
The infamous "Larry Boy"
Maddie loves her witch costume (she has worn it several times before tonight around the house)
Ahhh....they always get along when there's candy involved!
I could squeeze "Tigger" to jelly!!!
Papa helped Maddie collecting candy. I said, "Maddie do you like it when Papa helps you Trick-or-Treat? " She said, "Yeah....I like the candy." Out of the mouths of babes.
Mom and her chauffeur
I couldn't stop squeezing her!
Aunt Linda, Stacy and Aunt Shirley joined the fun. We were soo glad they were there!
Sydney did Jill's makeup.....good job!!
"Tigger" laughing at Uncle Victor
Oh my gosh. Can you see why I couldn't put her down?
