Ok, here's another opportunity for a few bonus pictures! There were too many cute little monsters out tonight to pick just one! Above, from left, are our two Lightning McQueen's, Kaden and Gabriel, then Jackson the spaceman, and Kenny, the alien. Quite a bunch! Below is Gabriel with Papa and going Trick-or-Treating for the first time.

At Trunk or Treat this year, our Shockerific trunk was runner-up! We provided the stuff, but Barbara made it all into a winning trunk!

Benji (don't worry, his real name is Benjamin) is our current office baby. As you can see, he is one tough baby. We only get him until the 1st week of January when he will "retire". They only get to stay for 6 months.

If you are prone to getting sucked into online games, STOP READING NOW!

In the spirit of Halloween my co-worker sent me this link, and I haven't been able to stop playing. This is my current high score.

Cat Bowling. It's dangerous.

I never get a good shot of these, but this is OG's favorite Wichita feature...the "Glow Sticks".

October 26, 2009

Another Z-pack. I am getting so sick of these things. This is my second of the allergy season, and it probably won't be any more effective than the last. We'll see...

October 25, 2009

This was an awesome concert! The opening act was fabulous, and Ben Folds was a ton of fun to watch. He even wrote a song about Wichita which we helped him sing.

October 24, 2009

What a face! OG and I got to baby-sit Daniel (Heather's son) and for dinner we made him Eggo waffles. This is the face he makes when you say "waffles".

October 23, 2009

This is Ethan Andrew Simon, son of a long-time family friend Nate Simon and his wife, Jennifer. We had dinner and played games at their new house. Of course, "Mama" got to feed Ethan. He is super cute!

After almost 3 months of marriage, I am finally hanging some things around the house! This beautiful picture was a Christmas/Birthday gift from Jamie. She is an excellent photographer! (see the post "October 2, 2009")

This is my encouragement piggy. Each time I get a correct report at work (which is always, of course!) my boss gives me a sticker! Not all of them can be salvaged, but the ones that can go on my encouragement piggy! So when I'm dis-couraged at work, I look at the reward of my good work and I can be en-couraged!

OG gets so excited about anything super hero! So, of course, we had to buy the Batman Air Heads!

October 19, 2009

Not much exciting happened today compared to our fun weekend, but here's a pretty picture I took while we were driving home tonight.

October 18, 2009

We finished off the weekend with a stop in Norman, OK to see The Black Eyed Peas and U2 live in concert! The spaceship landed in the OU stadium and we were lucky enough to get a picture!

October 17, 2009

Well, there are a few occasions that require more than one picture to define a day. Today is one of those occasions! Today Natalie and Mitch got married on the Seawolf in Rockwall, TX. Here is just a sampling of the day.

October 16, 2009

We went down to Rockwall, TX for Natalie and Mitch's wedding. We didn't get there until midnight, and there was little goodie bag waiting at the hotel! Those chocolate-covered pretzels on the right are A-mazing!

October 15, 2009

Taryn is having a girl!

October 14, 2009

3 for 3! Seriously, if you just like a good, entertaining story, check these out!

October 13, 2009

I read the second one today.

October 12, 2009

My current obsession. I read this in one day. It's not literary genius but it's an entertaining story.

October 11, 2009

Happy Birthday Gabriel! Yes, we had two birthday parties in a row! That beautiful little red-head loves Cars and icing!

October 10, 2009

Happy Birthday Jennifer! She had plenty of help blowing out her candles! I love Kaden's face!

October 9, 2009

It must be OG's week to fix things. A piece of plastic started hanging off the front of my car, and he did a very good job of fixing it for me. What would I do without him?

October 8, 2009

Mom and Dad got Gabriel a mini-drumset for his 3rd birthday. Since OG happens to know a thing or two about drums, he was recruited to put them together. They actually have a nice, big sound!

October 7, 2009

Borders has these adorable lap desks on sale right now! I have been wanting one, so I was pretty excited to see them cheap! OG is the funny guy in front and I am the Princess kitty on the left with a "T" on her tummy. Duh!

October 6, 2009

Martin is...well...fat. We are trying to keep him active so that he will burn more calories than he consumes. Like I said...we are trying...

October 5, 2009

One of God's most inspiring miracles.

October 4, 2009

This is what I have been seeing a lot lately. OG goes to work, comes home, and works some more. Yay.

October 3, 2009

As the 2009 wedding season progresses, Jamin and Shelly were the next couple to take the plunge. It was a beautiful ceremony and Shelly was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. There is nothing like witnessing two people who truly love each other join their lives together.

October 2, 2009

Jamie's first big craft show! Bookmarks, hair accessories, note cards, and her excellent photography on show for all to see! You can check out her merchandise at www.etsy.com/shop/nurd

Does that look like a doctor you want cracking your back??? Yes, folks, it's true. Dr. Mindy Ewert is now located at Gawith Chiropractic. I, for one, am ecstatic to have my best friend permanently back in town. :)

September 30, 2009

Officially the best candles in the world. They last forever, make the house smell awesome, and it sounds like a fireplace!

September 29, 2009

I have the sweetest husband! I got home from work and found this on the bed. Yes, I love Selena Gomez...Disney has completely corrupted me!

September 28, 2009

She loves me!

September 27, 2009

After two months of marriage we decided to get our M&M machine from OG's mom. They are still delicious! I'm pretty sure they taste better than regular M&Ms too! OG and I decided this is how we will kick-start our retirement. So far, there should be a little over $2.00 in there! Woohoo!

September 26, 2009

We got to go to a K-State football game with Kyle and Terra. They dominated. It was my first tail-gating experience and my first real college football game. We had a blast!
