Season Comes to a Close

The Baribies had a hard season, but we stuck it out. We may not have one...or even scored much but we had a blast. Thanks so much to Shad and Meagan to being GREAT coaches. The girls are learning lots and having a so much fun. We all truly appreciate you both so much. Not to mention...How many coaches do you know that let the team paint his nails pink and spray his goatee...(SP?) Pink at the final game. YOU ROCK COACH SHAD!!!!

Second Annual Halloween Party

My sweet Kiddo's Emma (Mulan) Henry (Pirate) Belle (Goldie Locks) Grace (Diva) Alex (80's girl...Can I just tell you how much that hurts my feelings.

Henry the Pirate and his forever side kick Ivey the Dragon

Mummy Wrap Rocks

However, Henry was not a fan

Eyeball bounce was a HUGE hit with the little boys and everyone loved the Pinata

Time to Trick-or-Treat... Olivia, Terry, and Dave

Please Please...just one piece...YUMMY!!!!

2 Years ago my sister and I decided we were tired of driving all over town to do our Halloween stops. Getting the kids in and out...church to church...family to family...and no fun and no trick or treating...well it STUNK!!! So instead we have a Halloween Party at her house. Everyone brings a dish and we play some games. Then we all load up in David's trailer (decked out with lights and a skeleton) and we trick or treat around the neighboorhood. The trailer is great because of all the little ones we have. Not to mention we had 19 kids this year...CRAZY!!! I love it and I am so glad we have started this tradition. Thank Lollie and DeDe for all your hard work.

Its Carving Time

It is a tradition in our house, like many of yours, to carve pumpkins. I think pumpkins STINK to hi heaven. In fact they really make me sick to my stomach, so this is a DADDY job!!! He loves it. He used to always do his own pumpkin. They were always so neat but now that he has to help so much with the others some years he doesn't get to do his own. Well even if he didn't get to do one of his own these are some great looking Jack-O-Lanterns. Thanks Daddy!!!

Parade of Super Stars

Emma and Benjamin...the boy she likes to ChaseEyeball Bounce

Emma and Laura

Emma's Halloween Party at Brook Village was so much fun. The kids got to dress up and then we walked around the block showing everyone our cute costumes. There were so many different super heros's, princesses, sports stars, and animals. The kiddo's were a little cold but they loved it. Afterwards we played eyeball bounce and ate a snack...

Pumpkin Patch..well kinda

Obviously things have been very crazy around here because I haven't been blogging at all....We have been so busy we didn't even make it to the pumpkin patch this year...that is a biggie for me. I will not loose track of time next year. I love going to the pumpkin patch with the kids and they love it even more. So Henry and I ran up to the grocery store and made our own pumpkin patch. It will have to do for this year

Party in the USA

We bought tickets MONTHS AND MONTHS ago. It was so hard for us to keep it a secret but we knew if we told the girls they would drive us CRAZY until the day finally came. Kindof like the how much longer till Christmas question you get every day of the year.

We had a fun dinner at Hard Rock Cafe just before the show. We even ran into Missy, Chandler, Shelly and Kenly at dinner.

We got the girls cool make-up. Zebra and Leopard Eyeshadow. It was so neat.

The walk from Hard Rock to the American Airlines Center was nice and our girls turned alot of heads. Gracie decided that next time she wants to take a LIMO...we saw lots and lots

SO EXCITED!!!!

We got so lucky because DeDe and Lollie were just a couple of rows up from us so we could see each other the entire time

My favorite part of the entire night was getting to see Blair and Bobo. One day we will learn to make plans together instead of just showing up the same places

Rockin it OUT!!! I didn't get any good pictures of Laurie's girls but they danced the entire time

Yes she road on a motorcycle in the sky across the top of the crowd..CRAZY

Daddy got some great pictures for us

It has been a while since I Bragged

So here is a picture of Shad when Emma was just 2 weeks old. Needless to say we needed a HUGE life change. It has been a while since I bragged on him. So here he is before!And this is what he looks like now. He is a constant inspiration to me. He gets up at 4:00am so that he can run without throwing off the our families schedule. He has lost 145lbs. He has run 8 1/2 marathons and 1 full marathon. He is running his second full marathon in a couple of weeks. He has even inspired our children and nieces to start running. Shad has inspired countless people to loose wait and start running. I am even running...a little. Every month we run into someone who tells him they have joined Weight Watcher or they have started running. I am bursting with Pride for him. Thank you Shad
