Family Weekend 2009

The ones who started it all.....Thanks Pops & "E"

Here are the kids through out the weekend. Hannah loved the ability to run back and forth between our tent, Rick's tent and the jumpers! Notice she is having a COKE at 4:35 PM!! and of course that was NOT at our tent, that was her "Sue Sue". Uh-huh. No wander she never wants to come home.

Wyatt showed up in his pj's Sunday morning but since they were Halloween pj's, I felt they were fitting to the occasion.

Costume Contest

SO...FUNNY!!

Bill got the kids dressed for the costume parade since I was busy chatting. Well.....we forgot her Tink shoes AND she left her undershirt on!....HAHA. SO funny.

A Tribute to my Mothers

My 5 year Anniversary

It has been 5 wonderful years of marriage! We celebrated our 5th anniversary on April 5th 2009. Everytime I think of what my marriage is compared to how the majority of the world sees marriage, I cannot help but be amazed. Amazed that a man would love me so much that he would spend most of his time working to allow me the joy of staying home to raise my children. Amazed that even though I am a very distracted housewife, often choosing a mini project over laundry, he still loves me and is proud of me. Billy Fowler has single handedly won the label "World's best husband"

Thank you baby for the life you have provided for me! I love you!

Your bride

To celebrate our love, we went for coffee & pedicures, dinner at Texas Roadhouse, then off to see the play Smoke on the Mountain with some best buddies! Thank you to my sweet mommy and "E" & Pops for affording us such luxuries!!

Family Weekend

Family Weekend was so much fun. This was the first year we really participated. We put up a tent, bought some beef, and went to cookin! Well Bill manned the grill. He actually enjoys it once it gets going and he is such a great griller! I love tasting his cooking.

It seems with all this crazy in my life (the last 2 weeks of Oct are always 2 of the busiest of the year) I have forgotten to tell him I love him. Bill, if you are reading this (which he never does) I love you and I am proud to be your wife. Thank you for cooking at family weekend. Next year we can cook the brisket slower...no worries...:)


This pic is of me and my man........yeah I know he is a stud

Nachman Fall Carnival

Thursday October 23rd was the Nachman Fall Carnival. This annual event takes all our weekly dining out budget as we buy lots and lots of tickets to appease the over-excited children we have.

I have not idea what Abi is doing here...I think she is practicing for a "shotgun....set...hike"

Again this year I stayed up all night (well until 11PM) and worked all day (this is accurate) making the kids fall costumes. I do not know why I have procrastinated so badly these past several years. It is not like all these events are happening sooner in the year. So starting next year I have implemented a new rule. All costume requests must be turned in by October 1st.

Maybe I should write that down.

Abi is a football playing tutu wearer!

Hannah is an outlaw princess

William is an outlaw

Wyatt is the sherriff!


YEEHAW!
