Cutest Skeleton You Ever Did See

Ryler was a glow in the dark skeleton for Halloween. Not super original but I can guarantee there were not cuter skeletons out there!

New Halloween Tradition

I've decided that it will be a family tradition every year to watch Beetlejuice on Halloween!

Roughin' It

We set up the tent in our front room (obviously) and watched Disney's Haunted Mansion! We also made the most amazing caramel apples before we started the movie. Then me and Madi had a sleepover. What a fun night!

My Little Guitar Hero

Ryler is a little rockstar learing on his fancy new electric guitar while Dad whales on Guitar Hero Metallica!

$3 Steak Dinner

I repeat, a delicious $3 steak dinner courtesy of our friendly neighborhood Macey's! The steak is out of this world and you get a giant baked potato and a drink to go with it! You have to wait in line for about an hour but it's SO worth it! Me and Madi had some steak while Ryler downed two hot dogs for only 50 cents! What a deal. I love our grocery store, as silly as that sounds. There were all kinds of games and play areas set up with more free candy and donuts than you can imagine. Madi got her face custom painted with a pair of adorable lady bugs! The whole neighborhood turns out so it's a great time with friends and fantastic food! The only thing that would've made it a million times better is if Mindy could've been there. Like always, she was working :(

Halloween Fun

We had so much fun when Madi was here. Mindy came up with some of the greatest Halloween activities. One of them was decorating our very own gingerbread haunted house! Scary, and yummy :)

Sick Little Boy

Poor little Ryler got sick as a dog. He was hatin' life. We were both grateful for this short moment of peace.

Strange Things Are Afoot

The crazy stuff that I see at work on any given day.

Back To School

Ryler loves strapping on the little backpack and running around the house. He always heads for the garage door and tries to open it. Not so fast little buddy!

Gettin' A Feel For It

It's been predetermined that Ryler is going to be a football star. Right now he's just kinda feelin' it out.

175 And Lovin' It!

After reaching my original goal of 195lbs and then achieving a new milestone with 185lbs, I'm proud to say I've far surpassed my ultimate goal and am resting comfortablly now at just under 175lbs! What a ride it's been. Started off hoping to just get under 200lbs and with the success I was having I just didn't want to stop. I'm all done now though and just want to find ways to stay right where I am.
