Visit to Christmas Traditions

In Historic St. Charles, Missouri

it becomes quite magical this time a year

with what is called Christmas Traditions.

While visiting the enchanted place,

they have Victorian Carolers, Storybook Characters,

& Santas from around the world.

Each character gives out his/her trading card,

we collected 18 out of the 33

while we were there.

It was such a great way to start the

Christmas Season.

O-H-I-O

I went to my one football game

of the season on Saturday.

It turned out to be a very exciting game

against Penn State.

.

One home game left and

we will be in St. Louis to watch it.

Though we did get a pretty penny selling the tickets.

Go Buckeyes!!!

Thanks for six great seasons we could

Enjoy being called students,

And the cheap tickets to go with it!

Murder Mystery Party

Halloween has come and gone,

we fit in as many festivities as possible...

... Enough halloween until next year!

Leed's Farm

Saturday was the

perfect FALL day to be outside,

I am glad it was the day we had

planned to go Leed's Farm.

I had been looking forward

to going again since last year.

Here is a fun way to compare how kids grow each year.

It is pretty shocking to see how

Avery have shot up this past year.

RAMBLINGS

At 6:10 this morning Tyler, Spencer's brother, flew home.

He came out this weekend for his fifth and sadly last

Ohio State game, while we live here.

That makes five out of

the seven football seasons

we have lived here. What a great brother!

We are down to our final year here

at the great C-BUS,

So everything is "our last"

which gives me a range of emotions...

This is what prompted me to blog tonight.

For all the moments that I think about

never blogging again, which happens a lot,

I remind myself this is the only kind

of journal I have and I can't give it up.

Here is a few random things of late, so I feel "caught up" with my blog.

Hot dogs & smores's

with Tyler & Fullmer family, it seems I like to blog

everything we do with the Fullmer's.

I love trying new places,

so when some friends had a groupon to try out

"The Bang" a piano bar, we were in.

Two piano players go back and forth singing & playing all types of songs.

My girls got to feel what it was like to be a cheerleader for high school

after two mini clinics and

cheering for a quarter of high school game.

It was a big crowd and Avery looked terrified the whole time,

though I think they both loved it.

Let FALL begin!

Fall is officially here,

or so Kayla's teacher told her so.

And as a listen to the sweet sound of my

air conditioner blowing cold air

once again;

it was broken since yesterday.

I have so be honest and say,

I am READY for the cooler days of Fall.

We got the football season started by

going BUCKEYE hunting over labor day

with the Fullmers.

Living here for 5 years and yet

this was my first time actually seeing

the buckeye nut

in nature.

As seen in the next picture,

Evan wearing the final product of are hard labor.

We had fun having Will, Jeff, & the Fullmer family

come watch the game with us.

I wish I could tell you which game,

but I can't... shows how much I really pay attention.

As I said last year,

One of my favorite things about living

here in the C-bus during football season,

is meeting up with old friends

who come to town for a game.

The Manning & Jarivis families came out

for a game over Sept. 11th

I met up the Kortney & Brooke

at the Morgan House, for lunch.

And then had them over to dinner on Sunday.

Though it has been four years since

we lived by eachother, it was just like old times.

Brooke & Kortney

Thanks for the good times guys.
