Colts V Bengals Tailgate!

My family recently went to a Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts game where we tailgated before hand!  It was super fun.  Most of my dad's side of the family was there.  We lucked out and parked right next to this amazing RV that had a large flat screen TV on the outside of it, and music pumping!  Fun times! :)

Fun family times :)

Kickball!

So, do you remember when I said I was behind on my blogging?  Well, here's another LONG overdue blog... :)

St. Mary's is raising funds to pay for the new school and church, right?  So, what better way to raise money than to host a Kickball Classic?  Here are some pics to highlight the day:

Our Team!

Auntie M kept Henry entertained for us.

Dad helping my niece, Ava kick the ball.

Wade waiting his turn in the dugout.

Yours truly and my dearest.

Uncle Brian kicking, and yes- he's always that animated. and hilarious.

My cousin, yes, I'll claim her :)

It's the Benjamin- maybe a homerun kick??

And ME!  No, not a homerun kick!  haha :)  (check out the calf muscle- ridiculous!  Maybe caused by my new love of running... I just wish the rest of my body would follow suit and tone up too!)

Take me out to the ballgame...

My dad won tickets to a Reds game in September.... yes, I'm that far behind in my blogging... :)

Anyway, they were AMAZING seats, and he asked my brother, niece (Ava), Ben, and Wade to go with him.  I talked Ben in to taking my camera along to document the adventure:

Go Reds!

This was their view - no zoom :)  great seats!

Ben even got creative with the panoramic feature on my new camera.

Not sure why his hat was turned inside out... go figure??

They had private seats where a waiter came around to ask them if they wanted anything- Ben said it was pretty cool! :)  It was a once in a lifetime experience because we will never spring for expensive seats like that again.  If we go to a Reds game, it's the $5 nosebleed seats for us!  So, I'm glad Wade got to enjoy this game with papaw, daddy, Ava, and Uncle Kyle in style! :)

So we had our 4th annual Halloween party... and here are some of the costumes.  (Sorry, I didn't get everyone's picture taken, it was a busy night.)

Here's the winner of the overall best costumes:

Patrick won Most Original for being Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation.

Here's my fam! :)  We were Scooby Doo- Ben was a monster.  I was Velma.  Henry was Shaggy.  Wade was scooby

Jeff won for funniest.  He was Mr. Clean.

It was fun :)  But next year, we are thinking about doing an adult only dance.
