Dorky Dog Asleep

Halloween 2010

so....the kids were at their dad's for halloween...it ended up being a bit disappointing for them but we won't talk about that...miss ryenn was a roller derby gal...not sure why she's making this face. the kids were suppose to get video footage but forgot, so luckily grandma sherry got a couple shot w/ her phone.:)

izsak had a shirt that said "this is my zombie killing shirt" w/ blood splatter. it was perfect but really he looked just like himself...this is his last year trick or treating as far as i'm concerned. :) there they are with grandpa bob and nathan at their dad's.

and this was me! i decided last minute to be liz lemon from 30 Rock. While the kids were at their dad's i went out with tamara, then was invited very last minute to a halloween party by my friends carl and michelle...carl suggested an nbc tag, which i wore at the party. michelle got pics but i don't have copies yet. :) i had a great time unexpectedly halloween, so i was very sorry to hear my kids weren't so fortunate....next year we'll make it count!

miss ryenn

this is my girlie (its a picture from early summer). i lost her for a bit this last year. my beautiful, talented, fun girlie was a sad, low confidence, unsure girlie. and i missed her! i hated that life had made her feel sad and unloved. but i'm happy to say that she is back to normal ryenn these days! she once again thinks of herself as cute and smart and she's full of life and fun again. hurray for counseling and a normal, mostly predictable rountine. welcome back ryenn! i love you so!

BOOK UPDATE

Ok folks...got word today my book is officially going to be used Winter Term at LCC in a class regarding Veterans and Families!!!

Ah! :)

Woo Hoo! Go!

Ah. the kids enjoying the Barczak's quads/atvs....ryenn always seems so big to me but in that helmet and on that quad she looks tiny. they had such fun!

Camp Sherman-camping trip

More videos of silly kids and a big brother being a cool big brother! hurray for big brothers!

camp sherman was dusty but fun! saw tons of stars if not as many meteors as we were hoping.
on our last day we ventured to Sisters and had really good food at a local restaurant, went antiquing where izsak scored an old bb gun. then we had old timey pics taken. hope to scan those
in one of these days and share.
