Winter Boots
So we had the first snow of the season and Raly and I were without boots. I haven't had snow boots since we moved here in 1998. Don't know how I managed that! Anyway, Raly and I headed out shopping for some SNOW boots. Good news: we both found a pair. Not so good news: Raly also found these lovely Hanna Montana boots. She was willing to spend her allowance on them (which consisted of about $4.25) so I caved! I can't believe it! She's wearing "Character" shoes. AUUGGG!
Emily's Bachelorette Party
For Emily's Bachelorette Party, we started out at Mike and Connie's. We ate, drank, played a few games, and Em opened gifts. Then, we headed out to the bars in a 15 passenger van driven by Matt, one of the TKE boys. Brandi Butler is the TKE House Mom and she has about every connection needed for a good time in Manhattan! I had a great time. I hope that everyone else did, too. Here are a few pictures from the evening. I think Aunt Jane's camera ended up with some of the best pictures. I'm hoping to see those next week!! 
Emily received several really cute undies, but these according to Aunt Jane, will be the ones she'll wear for her 25th anniversary!
We had a "To Do" list for the bars. Here, we are at the Cock N' Bull and Kelly, Donna, Emily, and Susan are singing "I'm a Little Teapot." Pretty easy gig since there were only two other people in the place. Mom and Aunt Jane did a shot here. I think it was called a "Red-Headed SL*T."

Halloween
Halloween Night before trick-or-treating. 
Walking to school for Raly's school Halloween Party. Raly couldn't decide what to be so in the morning she was Sleeping Beauty and at night she was Snow White.

Raly's KID Birthday Party
Raly had her kid party at Romp n' Roll. It was a fantastic party! All the kids had so much fun and it involved very little planning on our part. Sorry for so many pictures, but Raly was having such a good time, I just had to include them all!
Of course we had to get one family picture. Reese didn't want to hold still, big surprise!
Time for cake!!

Raly's Birthday
It finally happened! Raly turned five. Here she is wearing the dress from Aunt Brandi. She wore it to school and received lots of compliments!
Playing with Littlest Petshop "stuff."
She was thrilled when she saw that she got the Littlest PetShop Backpack from Grandma and Grandad.
Daddy brought home multiple balloons and she and Reese were running in circles with them. Lots of energy!
This is after opening the card from Grandma Eunice which had money inside. She loves to go shopping...a trait that Granmda Rosie just loves!!!

Grandma Connie Visits
Grandma Connie came for a visit the week of Raly's birthday. Luckily, she was able to watch Reese on Wednesday and Thursday while Raly and I were at school. Reese's babysitter was on vacation. Thank you Grandma!
After picking Grandma up from the airport, we played at the park, got haircuts (where Raly got fancy lipgloss from Grandma and Reese got these sunglasses) and then went for a bite to eat.

A Weekend at Home
It's Saturday evening and we have spent the last two days at home because Raly and Reese have been sick. They both have a fever and Raly has a headache and stomachache and Reese a cough, etc. I took Raly to Urgent Care today, thinking that maybe she had strep. The quick test came back negative, but they sent it in for the three day test. We are hoping that they get well by tomorrow. Besides a birthday party in the afternoon, we would like to go to a pumpkin patch. Between times of feeling poorly, they played in this tent that Rhett made for them while I was at an eye appointment. Obviously, at this moment, they were feeling better. I hope it lasts.
Also on Saturday evening, Rhett was in football heaven-three big college games on HD! How could life get any better.
Remote in hand... I couldn't handle watching while he was flipping between the games. He was like a kid in a candy store (or Adam at Starbucks). He just couldn't decide which game was better.
