A visit from my Brother and his family

Yesterday (Saturday) my brother Jason came to visit my family. We have not seen him or his family in a year and a half. He has a 5 year old, Logan and a 1 year old, Lucas.
Jason is in the Military (stationed in Tuscon, AZ) he is leaving soon to go to Afganistan, again.
We were very excited to see him and his family.....but the visit was wayyyy to short. They only got to stay for around 5 hours.
Here are some pics we got yesterday. We went to the Picture People and then we just took some casual shots on our own.....

Jason, we miss you guys already........

Me and my WHOLE family (except my dad) This is my grandparents, my Mom and Pat (a great step-dad!!) Ryan, me and our 2 kiddos, My brother Jason, his wife and 2 kids and my single brother Michael :)

Me and My 2 Brothers. Jason on the Right, Michael on the Left. (I am the oldest of the 3) 

This was totally sneaky....just before he snapped the shot, I pulled this off.......what a silly pic, I love it! 

This is Me and My kids, Jason and his kids, my other brother Michael and Mom and Patrick (Pat-Pat) :)

Lots of updating

I have been a slacker again......

We had our MOMS Club Halloween Party tonight, the kids had fun.
Then there are pics of us painting pumpkins, going on hayrides, roasting marshmallows and even pics from Christian's first school party!!

The Last Week

I have been a blog slacker. Lots on my mind, and lots to do.
Here are some pics from the last week. We did alot.
Took kids to play at Fun City, we had a Playdough Day with the MOMS Club and it was Ryan's and mine 6th anniversary on the 14th. My mother kept the kids all day Saturday and over night until Sunday. We went to the Razorback game (Homecoming game) and then had dinner. It was a nice nite out.
I will try to post more tomorrow.

Happy 6th Anniversary to us!!! :)
