Cheerleader and fans

Here are the first of this years Halloween pictures. Tonight is the Ward Trunk or Treat. Morgs parents got this little outfit for Gwen. Turned out pretty cute. We have Halloween activities every night this week. She also has a Devil outfit, so more pictures to come....sorry for the overload of pictures...it's mainly for family that doesn't get to see her in person.

gardner village....and a carrot

Just a few photos from Gardner Village. We went with Mandy and Aunt Judy, Charise and kids (Ava and Owen), and Michelle and baby Reese....oh, and my mama. It was insane there. We should have thought twice about going during UEA. Dumb idea. Way too many people...I don't like people.

This is as close as Gwen would get. This is her new photo pose.

As good as it gets with the cousins. Owen wouldn't allow any photos this day.

so ugly it's cute....or not

this is the random picture of Gwen eatting a carrot. she LOVES carrots. She ate this carrot "all gone"

he be so happy now!

Gwen ran into the "office" a few minutes ago super excited. "Mommy! I found a spider!" Oh great. I freaking hate spiders...with a passion. So I ask her where and she says, yet again, extremely excited "on Mommy's clothes!" Damn it! I know cleanliness is next to Godliness. We've been lacking on the Godliness lately. I know I shouldn't have left those freshly washed clothes sitting on my bedroom floor. Now I get to search for spiders as I fold them (the worst job ever...next to dusting and doing the dishes, and cleaning in general. Did I ever tell you that when Morgan asked me what I'd do with the money first if we ever won the lottery, and I said I'd hire someone to clean my house? He told me that was me being lazy. He said it's like hiring someone to come wipe your bum for you just so you don't have to do it. "Whatever!" I said, you could buy a bidet.) Anyway, back to the spider. So I grab my slipper and head off to the bedroom to find the nasty spider. It was just a tiny white one, so no big nasty hobo spider to kill. I smashed the spider (sorry Mom, I know it's bad luck to kill a white spider in the house...my mom would always set them outside when she found one. But to me a spider is a spider. A scary, why did God create these things, spider). After the murder, Gwen proceeded to exclaim "Oh mommy, you killed the spider! He's dead! He be so happy now!" Yeah, well Gwen, I don't think so, but we'll let you continue to think that spiders are happy when they die. Just like we teach you that Honey is the food of the devil.

home again, home again

jiggity jig. We got home late monday night. Sad to come home, but ready to too. It was a great trip. Being able to just sit and not do anything was just what I needed. We went to the beach everyday, went snorkeling, ate food, free drinks, all inclusive. It really was fun. Can't wait to do it again...probably not for another 4 years (10th anniversary maybe?)

there were many of these little guys running around
