First time in a long time

 So much good has been going on for  us.  First, my brother is now our neighbor.  They moved here right before Halloween and that has been really fun for me to have family so close!  Then we were able to get my sisters and their kids, and my parents to come down for a weekend before Halloween.  I can't even say how much fun that was!

Here Grandpa Randy is jumping with the boys.  He is very impressive for a Grandpa!

 Thank goodness that my friend Emily gave us this tramp.  (Thank you Emily!!)  If I knew how well it would keep the kids entertained I would have bought one a long time ago!  This kept the kids busy most of the time.

 The weekend they all came Tatum started doing the strangest little faces...we actually caught this one with the camera.  He was so funny.  He also started crawling and broke two teeth that weekend.

 The kids stayed with us and my sisters stayed with Jake and Jared.  It was so fun having all the cousins together.  That first night they stayed up until they all just passed out from the fun.

 Harley is such a good little girl.  I always know if she is around everything will be on the up and up.  Love that girl!

 I thought this was a fitting shot for Halloween..plus he is one of our nice kitties.

 Cassie is such a great little sis...I was so pleased she was here with us all!

 Its been almost a year now that Cortney has been back in the picture and I am still shocked when I see pictures of me and her together again.... I love it and I love her!!

 Mom was put to work during our get together.  It was so fun just hanging out and being together....all of us.  I think this was the first time we had done something with all of us together in TEN years!!  Crazy

 All us girls together!

 Jake and Jared did a fabulous job in carving their pumpkins.. they were spooky.

 The highlight of this trip was the treasure hunt we had the kids do.  I told Jake it would be fun to do something like this and the next thing I know he came up with the most amazing story to go along with it.  He did the decorations and everything..it was really special.

 I think there was 7 clues to be read and we walked all over out back with all of us involved.  The kids you could tell were a little scared and excited to see where this was going to lead them.

 The last stop lead them to the beautiful witch Cass that had a cauldron filled with treats for them.  If we can get them to all come down again next year we will really put together something fun like this again.

 The great part about getting together is all the laughing and talking you do.  There was so much laughter, especially of the picture we took at breakfast with us all... I need to get my hands on that and talk a few people into letting me post it.

Here is our goodbyes....what an incredible weekend........ fun with no drama.  That is pretty rare when my side gets together, we are usually pretty high in the drama department...but not this time.  

We are hoping to get together before Christmas too...we all sure hope it happens.
