Nebraska Game

Allen and I had so much fun going to a football game. It was Nebraska and Baylor and what I was guessing to be a pretty boring game considering it was Baylor, however, we are now just Nebraska, so it was very good! We had great seats thanks to the CEO of Mutual and the weather was perfect. After the game I got to catch up with an old friend, Todd and his wife Chanda who were in from Philadelphia and also Jed and his wife, Janice. It was kind of reminiscent of college days. As we walked back to our car, we passed all the bars and I bored Allen with stories of almost everyone of them. Like where his sister Ann meeting a guy at my bacholerette party and Lacey and I scamming drinks off of random men and then another where Allen and I went on our first date. We finished off our day out (without kids!!) at Lazlo's for dinner, which has undergone major expansion. I use to be a hostess there and now I think I would get lost. So, all in all, we had a really good time and decided we should really try to go back to a game once year.

Chaffee Fall Harvest

Mid-October we went back to Kansas to experience some of the fall harvest. We had a good time with everyone and we all ate way too much (a typical scenario whenever we go to our families' homes). Keara and Easton learned all about the combine and the semi and the elevator bins. Easton is now the proud owner of all of Daddy's old die cast tractors, trailers, and other kinds of pull-behind equipment I don't the names of!! I am sure by next year, Keara and Easton will be throwing out farming lingo and I will just be shaking my head acting like I understand. They are like little sponges, absorbing everything they hear.

Our group was in charge of mixing together the corn casserole.

We had to take turns stirring!

We played games, and...

sang songs with beanbags :), and...

dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims and enjoyed our food.

Hanging Christmas Lights

Just one of the fun holiday traditions. Luckily, Allen somewhat enjoys it!

Lulu decided to help too and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Easton giving us 'web in the eyes'

Trick or treat! I think Easton probably rang that doorbell about three times!

We could have gone to 100 houses and Keara still would have said, go next house, more candy!

Easton was most excited about his suckers! He dug through one lady's bowl for about a minute straight saying, 'no, want something better' until he came upon a sucker!

Allen as Spiderman. Thank god they don't make that costume for adults!

Me, simply trying to live a dream! Although it is nice not to have an evil step-mother that tries to kill me or locks me in an attic!
