Defeated Fall 2010

We had unusually warm weather this Fall at Defeated! It was wonderful! A lot of us were actually in shorts during the day! It still got chilly at night, but the days were great! I think its just gonna keep getting to be more and more fun year after year for the kids. John said next year we'll be able to turn Mitchell loose, mommy says I don't think so! We did our usual...eat, play, carve pumpkins, and have fun! This year we played "Minute To Win It" It was definetly the highlight of this years trip! There were some very funny moments and almost everyone got in on the fun and played!

I think the Gator was out of juice!

The pretty little princesses in their matching Halloween pjs!

Shelby had a little fight with the cornhole board and as you can see the board won! HAHA Maggie and Shelby!

I should have put this after the pics of us carving, but i didn't want to start all over. But this is our pumpkin for the year. I love how the kids are all excited about carving, then after about 10 minutes they are off doing something else, so us moms are left doing all the work! I enjoy it though! :)

Shelby digging out the guts!

Boys being boys-throwing rocks!

Best Buds!

Thanks to mom and dad and everyone who helped cook food and make it such a great year! Looking forward to next year already!

Halloween 2010

Yes, I know its almost Christmas, but i decided that I'd better post this or it would never get done! This year the Carey family went with the Popeye theme. Although Shelby and I got called "amish" and "pentecostal" a couple times! HAHA Mitchell was Popeye, John was "Brutus/Bluto" (aka the bad guy) I was Olive Oyl and Shelby was Sweet Pea! We had a lot of festivities going on during Halloween time! The first pics are at "Cow Chip Bingo/Trunk or Treat at John's school.
Sweet Pea getting her some candy! She had her first ever sucker this day and lets just say I think she's gonna have her momma's sweet tooth!

Popeye!

Popeye getting some lovin'!
