Hello fellow bloggers. It seems as though another week has gone by since I have communicated blogger style I need to get into a more routine and habit so I can do it daily like I did in the beginning oh well, life happens!! Of course I have lots of pictures I pulled off my phone again its basically unloaded now except for about ten more pictures . I'll send those in tomorrows blog. Manny left this morning for Reno. While he was home we started to "winterize" the outside we put away all the outside furniture, cleaned up the yard a bit, put all the flower pots away except for a few which are still blooming. gathered up all the random toys everywhere and put them away in the shed until next year. Then we headed over to the storage units to see if we could find my boxes of Halloween stuff and we did so I started to decorate the house inside. Kim your pictures look awesome by the way. I love all the outdoor decorations I bet the boyz and the neighborhood kids love them. It's so green their it looks beautiful. Anyways Lets say that we are at a "TIE" for the decorating competition!! Unless you want to keep on going! LOL. I got to visit with Mr. Drew a couple times this weeks so I snapped a couple of photos of him he has grown so much already so quickly. I got to visit with Cara for a bit, and she looked so good she is a walking miracle, she just looked really good. Thank-you GOD. Jared was headed today to ISU to turn in his application for the social work program so everyone keep their fingers crossed I'm not sure exactly how the process works, but good luck to Jared. We have just been keeping busy around here, Jurnees football season is now officially over, they won their last game on Saturday and took 2nd in thier league, we had their football party on Saturday and Jurnee got his Trophy, good job Jurnee. Yzabella is really enjoying her ballet/tap class's she has a natural talent. Where did that come from?? Good question. And of course my happy little man Maddox is Sooooo close to walking but he wants to do it on his own schedule. He stands there, he walks along everything, he can climb up on things, he can do stairs, but he is waiting for the walking invitation I guess. His stubbornness must come from Manny's side of the family LOL. Well until later........ love............... Rainbow
This a picture of my baby boy Maddox (downloaded from the phone) he is probably about the same age as Drew 1 month

Sorry Dylan had to post this picture again I love it.
On Saturday we went to the open house at the fire station, the kids had fun (right next door to our house)

OK Kim this is the beginning of the Halloween decorations, I wish I new how to do the video like you did so I could combine all the pictures into one video, next time I will figure it out.


Yzabella, Jurnee and Danielle having some last minute end of end of end of summer fun...
Drew Today while he was visiting his Auntie
Drew
So serious






This is the Halloween tree Jurnee and I made. We just went out into the yard gathered some tree branches, spread some cobwebs on it and hung the decorations on it and it turned out really cute. Jurnee did a good job and had fun doing it. We use to do this every year, five years ago and Jurnee commented me on this and said how glad and how much fun he had doing it again. So kids do remember the small things we do with them, even if its from five years ago.









That's all for now.

The weather is defiantly changing around here. I can feel the cold and it is dark at the bus stop in the morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Today was a regular day just busy with cheer leading, football, homework, a couple of DR. appointments, meals ya now just a regular day. I miss Jared and Cara's boys a whole bunch. I spoke with Jared and Cara today and they seemed to be doing well. I think they are both tired of course but I believe they are both relieved to be home with their boys. We had a horrible hail storm on Saturday that only lasted about 5 minutes total, but they were the biggest hail I had ever personally seen. So I go out to check out my fabulous garden of Edan and it was trashed, the hail from hell had pelted it all . So now my leaves are shredded and the vegetables all have big marks or holes Oh well there is always next year. So I must go on to the next project. Maureen your Halloween stuff looks great yes, it inspired me to. But Kim you had to go and say the word "competition", OK girlfriend let's decorate!!! Manny joined the blog he is THE MEXICAN so this should be interesting. Kerry still waiting for more blogs. Lori and Melissa?? Anyways goodnight for now.... Love.... Rainbow

Yzabella and Dylan, the computer geniuses Please let me out, I want to play to

Yes, Manny sent me this. Working hard on the job (good thing he doesn't read the blog HA HA)
Sooooo comfy, like father, like son
He found Drews binky (he never used one when he was little, but now it looks like fun)
Pretty Drew






Wow the house is quite.... But for how long?? Jared came and got Dylan and Drew about 6:30 and we gave Drew a quick bath and then they headed off for a guys night. I miss the boys already, I have really enjoyed having them here. Maddox is taking a quick snoozer, yzabella should be home any moment and Jurnee is at a birthday party for the evening. So the quietness is strange. It does give me few minutes to blog though. Cara finished with her third surgery and is recovering quite well. They are going to keep her at the hospital for a couple of more days to monitor her. So that should give her some comfort. Keep praying for her, your prayers are working and she will be home soon. Well before I go back into mommy mode I'm off to enjoy one of my delicious tomatoes from the garden, slice it up, add some salt and ahhh perfection. Lori I hope to see lot's of birthday pictures from the party. Happy birthday Tommy!! Kerry, I love the song!!! TO THE LEFT!!! Anyways, until later........................Rainbow
