Feeling a little WITCHY!

I had such a blast this past weekend at Gardner Village. A group of friends got together and went to the Witchapalooza. It was a great dinner show and the music was the best. If you are looking for something fun to do for the Halloween season you should really go. I was going to dress up like a 80's girl for Halloween but I had so much fun dressing up as a witch I think I changed my mind. Plus the reason I'm dressing up is for my kinder kids and would they really get what a 80's girl is....I don't think so. So a witch it is!

Lex and I just being silly!

Lesh and Alyssa at Witchapalooza.

We had so much fun. We stayed by this witch for a long time just taking pictures with random people. I think they though we were part of the show.

We were practicing our cackle!

I love the witches socks!

Very, Very, Very hard post

I've been wanting to record my feelings and thought about my aunt Zona's passing, but for some reason it has been just too hard. Every time I go to start...I just get overwhelmed with sadness. But I want to share with you a little bit about this amazing women and a little bit about my heritage as well. I can't find the words, so I'll try it through pictures.

My aunt loved to be "done up". This is one of my favorites of her.



Here are 3 of my favorite women in the world. My Aunt Zona, my Mom, and Aunt(she has always felt like an aunt to me) Deloris. All 3 are so much a like. Bossy, fun, and crazy when they are together!

I loved seeing Deloris and her family at the funeral. I felt so connected to her as we hugged and shared in our sadness.

My mom and Zona

Zona and my cousin Cynthia. I was so glad that I got to know her a little bit better while in Oklahoma. She has such a calmness about her. My mom is so proud of her and thinks the world of Cynthia. I'm glad I've become Facebook friends with her and we can keep in touch.

I love my aunt Zona. Her personality is a big as the sky. She was so much fun to be with. Oklahoma to me will always be my Aunt. I can't put my sadness into words...

Color, Color, Everywhere!

The month of October is my FAVORITE month in school. We are so busy but it is a fun busy. We start off the month with colors. Most kids come into kindergarten knowing the colors. So we learn how to spell and recognize the color words. Each day we celebrate a new color. We learn fun songs, eat yummy snacks, and wear the color of the day!


Can you guess the color of the day?

One of my afternoon kiddos was so excited about purple day she had her mom bring in purple cupcakes. Very cool!

We had purple all over! It was fun!

Monday will be pink day, I always tell my boys that cool boys wear pink! We'll see if they buy it!
