Halloween Decorations

Holiday decorations are an important tradition for our house. The girls and I made sure to get the house ready for Halloween in plenty of time. It doesn't take much to make the house spooky. I did pick up a couple new things this year at the Hillsboro Craft Show and I was excited to display them.


Candy Basket


The new witch hat and boots.


Witches and pumpkins are out.


The jack-o-lantern jar.


Table set for a spooky time.

Fun at the Park

The weather was pleasantly warm today, so Campbell and I went to the park to play. Cooper was at school, so Campbell and I could enjoy some alone time. Campbell was showing off her climbing skills. She loved to show me how brave she was. It was a great afternoon at the park.


Campbell loves her tank tops, even in October.


Walking across the bridge.


Look mom! I can climb to the top.


Great times at the park.


What a beautiful smile.

Sponsorship

Our neighbors have a son who plays on a junior football team. Before the season started they asked us if they could use Colgin's logo on the team banner as a sponsor for the team. We were honored they thought of Colgin. We enjoyed a morning out on the K-state football field to watch the team play.

Tailgate

Out to cheer on the Wildcats! The girls celebrated a warm day at the tailgate.

Go Railers!

Under sad circumstances my brother in law, Pat, became the head football coach for Herington High School this year. We had to go and cheer on the Railers. It was a cool night, but the hot chocolate for 50 cents was a hit. Kelly made sure to bring some Railer gear for us to wear. It was a good game and they won.

Napa 2011

This was the 3rd year for our friend trip to Napa Valley. The trip is always a great time. The weather is warm, the scenery is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the company is irreplaceable. We always laugh until our sides hurt, stay up way too late, eat entirely too much, relax to the full extent, and make stories worth telling for years to come. This year was no exception. What a great trip it was!
