Day at the Movies

Yesterday we decided to take Shea to the movie theater for the first time. Wayne and I have been thinking about it for a while, but never was brave enough to do it. (Anyone who knows our daughter would understand why.) We both agreed to wait until the perfect movie. Well, Friday that movie opened, Madagascar 2. She was pretty excited to go see a movie on the "Big TV." So we all piled into the car and had to drive an hour to the theater. (Oh the things parents do!) In the theater they have an arcade room by the entrance and Shea had it eyed the moment we walked in. About 20 minutes into the movie she wanted to go play with the "toys." Wayne and I agreed only 2 games and then back to the movie, and of course Wayne volunteered to take her. MEN! Before I knew it they were back and Wayne was holding a big black garbage bag. Confused I leaned over and all he said was "Shea won the jackpot." We had about 4 potty runs and only 1 arcade run, so Wayne and I were pretty impressed on how it went. In more ways then one. It turns out Shea really did win the jackpot. The garbage bag was full of tickets. After the movie we had to go to the ticket counter machine, which took us 20 minutes to count all of them. Wayne and I were excited to get free movie passes or something sweet with the 2000 tickets, but no. Shea got to choose from a collection of cheap toys made in China. We had so much toys that we ended up giving them out to all the kids in the arcade. Shea was able to walk away with 5 crappy toys, but she would have been happy with a rope. Which happened to be one of the toys, so she was thrilled!

After the long day, we are all sitting around the fireplace at work, eating root beer floats. I am listening to Wayne tease Shea in a British accent. It is pretty darn cute because Shea is trying to tease him back and trying the accent out herself. Too bad my camera is dead! I love my kids! (Yes, I do consider Wayne a kid!)

Here is a pictures of my little Rockstar performing! Thanks Aunt Mandie for the Rockstar skirt, she loves it.

Happy Halloween

The beginning of our Halloween started with the perfect sunrise. I had to run over to work Halloween morning and this was what I saw. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was red, but my the time I got to work it had turned to this vibrant orange. What a perfect Halloween sunrise!

Wayne had to spend practically all day over in Jackson. He had about an hour in between meetings so we decided to go trick or treating over there. Besides, you don't go house to house where we live. Instead they do trunk or treat where you go car to car in a parking lot. That to me didn't sound like fun, so we had planned to go to a neighborhood in Jackson. On our way to town we noticed tons of trick or treater's going store to store around town square. Turns out, that's what they do in Jackson. Let me tell ya, that was a blast. We are going to make that a annual tradition! Shea loved it. She's the Skunk, if you couldn't tell from the pictures. She got so much candy that the bottom of her bag started to come apart. Luckily we made it into the car before a disaster.

Welcome Home! (Picture Overload)

My brother Ryan came home from his mission on Thursday! He was serving in the Fort Launderdale, Florida mission. Let me tell you, it was extremely WEIRD. It went by so fast, and it is weird to see how much growth he has made in the church. I am so proud of him, and I am so excited he is home.

These next pictures are of my family waiting for him at the airport. Now, that took forever!

My parents were extremely EXCITED!

Uncle Chad and Aunt Brooke trying to entertain Shea (and themselves!)

WELCOME HOME RYAN

Leaving the airport!

Our Beautiful Sign that Brooke and I made! And yes, those are rakes holding it up!

Fun filled WEEK!

Grandma and Grandpa Myers came up from California for the WEEK! It was a lot of fun. Shea doesn't get to see them too often, so she had a BLAST. She loves her Grandparents!

WE LOVE YOU!

Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Shea is going to be a great little Softball player. I can't wait for her first T-ball game. She is already practicing! ha ha.

Only 5 more days until my brother gets home!!!

Lagoon Pictures

Wayne is such a kid at heart.

The swings were her favorite ride.

Cheesy Smile

Daddy's Girl

Well, it was between the helicopter and the swings!

Our way back home.

By the way, my brother Ryan comes home from his mission in 20 days!!! YEAH!

Dancing Queen

We were able to go to Lagoon in September (don't ask me when, it was too short.) While we were there she heard a Hannah Montana song. She just feels it in her bones and can't help but..............Dance!

I love you Shea Shea!

Lagoon Pictures to Come, this computer is irritating me!!
