Halloween Party at the Erskins 2009

The Erskin's know how to throw a party!! It was so much fun. The only bad part was I walked around all night in this Eve costume. Seriously look at me I look ridiculous and I walked around in it all night in front of our friends. I can't believe they are still friends with me when they seen me in this. The joke of the night was how my butt and other parts of my body looked in this costume!! It was a fun night. Thanks Jason and Lisa for the great party!!!!

5th annual Wride's Halloween party

It was our 5th annual Wride Halloween Party. We starting doing a Halloween party cause of Kage. He loves Halloween so 5 years he begged us to have a party so we agreed. We invited all my family and said everyone had to dress up. To our surprise everyone did dress up and we had a blast. Now every year everyone looks forward to the Wrides Halloween party. My kids love to be the host. We have lots of food and Kage plans lots of games but usually only a few of them are played. We all get to vote on the best costume. It usually is really hard to vote cause the costumes are all so good. I have never been a fan of Halloween but I have to say Kager has rubbed off on me and now I really get into it. Funny what kids can do to you!!

I was Bat Girl as Kage would say, Troy was Batman, Kager a Broncos football player, Kenlee a High School Musical cheerleader, and Kam was Tinkerbell.

Walking and her 1st Teeth!!!

Walking all over and 2 teeth. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She has 2 teeth already and I say already cause my other kids did not get their 1st tooth until they were 13 months old. She was only 11 months when the 1st one broke through. She also is walking everywhere. She still likes to crawl and for those who have seen her crawl it more like walk on her knees she don't use her hands. She is so much fun. Kambree thanks for always putting a smile on our face we love you!!!

Here she is walking on those knees.

This girl cracks me up!!!!

Me and Kenlee had a girls day out and went shopping one Saturday. When we got home she decided she wanted to change her clothes and go outside to play. Let me set the scene it is late in the evening, it is October and it is not that warm outside. But she went with the short short short shorts, the Flash jersey and the boots just in case it snows!! Then she posed for the camera she loved to have her picture taken as you can see. I love this girl!!!

Mascot Bowl 2009

This year at the mascot bowl my kids had a blast. Kager took one of his best buddies Troy along and they had so much fun. Their favorite part was meeting the mascots. They each had a football for them to sign. Kager's Denver Broncos mascot was there so he was so excited about the. Kenlee is in love with the Flash Fox and he was there so she was so excited to see him.

The were so happy to have their footballs signed by all the mascots.

Kager getting the Denver Broncos mascot to sign his ball. GO BRONCOS!!!!

Our favorite Fox!!

She loves him look how happy she is!!!

Time was almost up and they really wanted to see the Jazz Bear. Troy was in line but he was way back so with my butting skills I got them up to him we got their balls singed and a picture right when it was time for them to leave!!

The Jazz Bear went on a zip line from the top of the fire truck ladder across the football field.

Game Over!!!

Pig Wrestling Labor day 2009!!

That is right you read the title correctly PIG WRESTLING!! Now you think this post is going to be of maybe Troy pig wrestling. NO way it is of Kage, Troy and ME all Pig Wrestling on Labor Day. I know it sound gross and your right it is. My Brother-in-law and sister-in-laws and all their family was in charge of it so I kind of go volunteered to do it. My brother called and said I was on a team with Amanda my sister,my mom, and my sister-in-law Angie. Well when it came down to it my sister-in-law gave up her place to Troys sister Shelley cause she already had her turn with the pigs. Now if an one knows me at all they know I am not a PIG WRESTLER or should I ever even try but I did it. Kage did it with his cousin Madison and Hayden and a friend. They were Harry Potter Team. That is the other crazy thing about it your team has to have a name and then everyone on your team dresses up. Troys sister Shelley made them all cute Harry Potter costumes. Kage was so funny out there. He is tipping toes into the pen of course he does not want to get muddy but no choice in this situation. When they say start he walk really slow over to the pig and little Maddy the only girl on the team run over to the pig she is all over him. It was so cute. Kage touched him a few times but did not want to get to close to him I was yelling at him the whole time to grab him and pick him up. Well meanless to say they never got the pig in the barrel but I think it was fun for them. After it was over Kage said ""mom did you know pigs have hair!" It was so funny I guess you learn something new everyday. Then it was the guys turn. Troy and his team walked into the arena and 14 seconds later they had the pig in the barrel just like that!! I really did no even get muddy. I could not believe it. But the good news is they were in winners in the men's category. They won $200 not bad for getting a little muddy and 14 seconds later! Well now it is our turn. I seriously was so scared. I had butterflies so bad. We walk in the arena and the mud was soooo cold. When they gave the the OK to start we all ran over to the pig and he was mad he took off running around and we all went chasing him. Amanda had a hold him a few times. I did the splits and feel on my butt! Seriously it had to be so funny watching. Then there was a time or two I was right by the pig and I knew at the moment why Kage did not want to touch him he felt soooooo gross. A hairy, muddy pig YUCK!! I don't even want to hold a cute little CLEAN dog or cat why would I want to pick up a muddy pig! I just kept screaming and telling to Amanda he feels gross I don't want to touch him. My dad was right outside the pen yelling at me to just pick him up. I could not do it. One point Amanda, Shelley and my mom all had him in there arms and of coarse I was at the other end of the pen and they dropped him. I think that was when I did the splits and fell so I was trying to get up. I sure my little bit of muscles would not have helped out that much to get him in the barrel. But after 60 seconds of rolling around in the mud with the pig we did not get him in. It was fun cause I had a good laugh and I am sure I gave everyone else a good laugh. After we were done the fire department was there and they would spray you off. Next year my sister said I am not on her team she wants someone who will touch the MUDDY and HAIRY pig!!!!

Harry Potter team
Ken wanted to feel like part of the team.

Most of you heard that back in August after only having Snickers about a month and a half he was ran over by a car and died. It was not a good day in our house. I never, never, never even dreamed of crying over an animal especially a cat but I cried and I cried and I cried. When we told Kager about it and he was crying so hard and so upset over it I could not help it I was crying just as hard. I really was sad for the kitten but mostly so sad to see my son soooooo upset and I could not do anything about it. It was a long week but finally things started to get better just in time for our neighbor down street to call and say they had baby kittens they were giving a way and one looked just like our Snicker. We went to look at them and of coarse Kager and Kenlee fell in love with her. So we are once again a 2 cat family again. She is so cute and my kids love her. Her and Doodles even like each other. But I do need to get both of them fixed or else we are going to be having babies of our own!!!
