Veterans Day

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of those who have served , and still serving for our country.
Today my youngest son talked me into going to the school so I could hear him sing to the Veterans , he really didn't have to do much talking . So at 10 A.M. I went to the school to watch the 21 gun salute and hear the kids sing to the veterans. It was a tearful event. The kids aren't sure what they are thanking the Veterans for but they knew it was something special because most of the adults attending had a tear in the eye or running down their cheeks. There are 3 teachers I know of for sure who have some one serving right now and many who know some one who has served. I personally know of a few and I am so thankful for them to be willing to risk their lives to keep our country free and able to enjoy the many things we take for granted.
I just want to say THANK YOU one more time , I couldn't ask for a better place to raise my kids and live my life and that wouldn't be possible without the people in the Military, Navy, Marines, and Air Force (if I'm missing any other division I'm sorry). Happy Veterans Day . Don't forget to thank them for all they have done.

Grandma and Grandpa Hahns Visit

This is catch up more so then not, because I've become negligent to update my blog these days, even though I always mean to do so.
The last week of October we were surprised with a visit we knew was coming but wasn't sure exactly when , by Grandma and Grandpa Hahn. They live in South Dakota and mean the world to Daniel so of course they mean lots to us as well. Although the kids rarely get to see them they still always love their visits and the time we get to spend with them.
They arrived on a Wednesday and left on Saturday which was Halloween, not a long visit but enough time to visit and get to know whats going on in each others lives.
We ate dinner with them a few times , I got to cook for them which is amazing because they always want to go out to eat. Grandma helped me cook and we enjoyed talking and catching up as we cooked. Grandpa helped Daniel out in the garage doing whatever it is guys do out there ha ha. The boys always get to swim in the hotel pool that the Grandparents stay in so we took them to swim and have fun. They absolutely love that part because they usually get the pool all to themselves.
We were sad to see them go but we thoroughly enjoyed their visit and can't wait for the next. Although we were told it's our turn to make the visit over there. So we will see when the next visit will be.

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a blast as always.

Friday before Halloween the school carnival was put on and we took the kids to have fun. More to support the school and help raise money on our part but the kids enjoyed themselves. It was a long night really because it seems like the tickets never get used up fast enough, but thats because all of the screaming kids every where. He He.

Bradley was a football player also known as himself, and Dustin was frankenstien for the carnival he went without the green face paint.

Then on Halloween we took the kids out trick or treating in my mother in laws neighorhood. We also got to take my nephew with us because his mommy didn't get off work until later. All three boys ran the whole time and wore themselves out pretty quickly.

After trick or treating we headed to my moms house for her birthday party. We had pizza , and cake n ice cream. We got to see my other two cuties there as well. Logyn n Shy were so cute in their costumes.

When it was late and bed time we took the kids home and got them ready for bed then Daniel n I headed out for the big peoples party . We more then enjoyed ourselves.
