Kennedy's Halloween Party

Luckily Kennedy and Camryn's Halloween parties were not at the same time so I was able to attend both of them! They are only allowed two parties a year so Mrs. McNulty decided on Christmas and Valentine's Day. She called this one a "treat day." We think that is a silly rule so we called it a party! She and her classmates decorated Halloween sacks, had cookies and juice boxes and then each student passed out the candy they brought to share!

Camryn's Halloween Party

Camryn had a super fun Halloween party! They had several different stations set up and the kids had such fun!

Now we get to eat it!



Camryn was the closest guess to how many M and M's were in the jar! I was in charge of this station but I promise I didn not cheat!
Her cute sack she decorated and then it got filled with lots of goodies!

Kennedy's Fall Musical

Kennedy's 2nd grade musical was all about "fall." She sang some pretty songs and had a speaking part! It was lots of fun!

Thursday Night Dinner Halloween Party

We had our annual Halloween get together at the Dennie's new house this year! Since they sorta live out in the country we were able to have a bonfire! The kids loved it and hopefully this will be our new tradition!
All the kiddos minus Kennedy! She was out to eat with Maci and Kristen. Daddy and Tinkerbell

Race For The Cure, 2011

Kennedy walked in Race For The Cure Saturday with Aunt Magan. It was a super early morning for her (5:30) but she loves stuff like this and didn't mind one bit! She had a great time and looked so cute in her pink!

We welcomed baby Micah into our family Thursday, October 20th! We spent the afternoon today holding and loving on him. He is such a sweet, cuddly little boy and Kennedy, Camryn, and Laynie are proud to have another sweet little cousin! Proud Daddy
Proud big brother

Pumpkin Patch

Camryn went on her very first ever field trip last Wednesday...to the pumpkin patch in Mayflower. Daddy went with her and they had a great time. They left the school around 8:30 (Camryn on the bus and Daddy following) and stayed until after lunch...the sack lunch Camryn got but she left Dad's in her backpack so he just watched everyone else eat! After the field trip they went to the buck shot and she shot a gun for the first time, rode the 4-wheeler and played hide and go seek in the beans. She had a great day with her Daddy!
On a search for the perfect pumpkin!


Camryn and Mrs. Ray

Todd and I celebrated our 9-year anniversary on October 12th. This is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding. We were just pronounced "Mr. and Mrs. Todd McGuire." There are so many things I love about it...Bro. Paul in the background, Janna wiping her tears, the groomsmen clapping, the way Todd and I both have our heads cocked glowing at our guests, and Nona and Papa sitting on the 3rd row! Todd surprised me with a weekend trip to Branson. We stayed at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing Friday and Saturday night. We enjoyed lots of good food, relaxing in the hotel room watching a movie, a little shopping, and exploring Big Cedar Lodge and Dogwood Canyon!
Saturday morning: Getting a game plan
We have been wanting to stay at Big Cedar Lodge for a while now. We decided to drive over and check it out. We had fun taking in the atmosphere, going on a nature walk, watching the guests canoe and paddleboat, and and just relaxing on a park bench watching the lake.
After leaving Big Cedar we went to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and went on a 6-mile bike ride. The scenery was beautiful and we kept saying how much the girls would love coming here!


Part of Dogwood Canyon is located in Arkansas. Kennedy and Camryn thought it was cool that we rode bikes to Arkansas!

While we were eating dinner Saturday night at Level 2 Steakhouse, we got this video from the girls. It made me cry!
