Adam's adventure

Saturday Adam and his friend Shayne decided to go "caving". They found the Crystal Ice Caves- in the desert not too far from here. They had a great time and took some fun pics. No, the kids and I were not invited. This was not a "kid friendly" cave. To his credit- Adam made it up to me Saturday night by taking me to the Texas Roadhouse-with no kids. yummy! I'm not sure who this person is. :) But it shows how small the opening to the cave was!! They then had to have ropes and climbing gear and were lowered down 50 ft! (Ok, definatly not kid friendly)

Look at that cave man!

Adam by the ice pillars. Cool! (Literally)

Sunshine and blue skies!

It was such a beautiful November day on Friday, (cold yes, but sunny and no wind) so the boys and I took Livia to the park! They took turns going down the slide with her. It was so cute!! Liv was loving it. She's wanting to go down the slide in the pic and Ashton is trying to pull her back up!

Those two boys are so good with their baby sister! What a fun afternoon!

Why did I volunteer for this?

This is a picture-less post. Sorry. I am just wondering why I volunteer for things when really I'm thinking, "I can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth." My latest volunteer mistake- dog sitting. When our friends who were going to Africa for 3 weeks were looking for a place for their dog to go, why did the words, "Oh- we can watch Jack for you"- come out of my mouth?
I am really not a dog person, and Adam really isn't a dog person- yes we have a dog, and most days we ask ourselves, "Why do we have a dog?" OK- so the answer to that is under our kitchen table. Max really is an excellent vacuum/broom. So that is the reason we have a dog. The only reason. :) But we will never have 2 dogs.
2 dogs means double the barking- which is especially annoying right after I lay Livia down. That is one thing she can not sleep through. So it has been a long couple of weeks. I have also been super paranoid that we'll loose their dog, because I'm not kidding- the dog is camo colored. It blends in to wherever it is, and every time we open the door the dog escapes! It has been stressful.
Really this is my own fault. I just need to learn how to not volunteer for things. So I am taking suggestions if anyone has any. If not, who knows what I'll be doing next!

Trick or treat!!

We actually went "Trick or treating" this year and not just "trunk or treating". The kids had a blast! We went down to the small town where Adam grew up, and went around town with Adam's mom and our niece Callie too. I think we'll make it a tradition. Adam's mom was as excited about candy as the kids were!

It's worth turning your head to see this cute witch!

Aaron was Iron Man and blended into the couch!

Ashton was in full character Spiderman mode! (He is shooting out webbing in the picture.)

Adam carried Liv in his jacket and she fell asleep for most of it! Adam's back was killing him by the end of the night!

Livia's first Halloween!

A scary bunch!!

Ready to go!! Livia is trying to take off Spiderman's mask.:)
