Another Basketball Video

Here is the second video from Saturday's game. It shows a little more of the how the games go....but I couldn't get the end cut out of the video. Soooooo, I would suggest to just turn it off at about 35 seconds....unless you like to see the ceiling and floor. =)

More Basketball!!!

I finall got a little video (it's really short!) of Tag shooting a goal! His team played really well and Tag scored 3 of their goals. The coach was out so the assistant coach (aka Tommy) had to step in and play head coach this game....and he did great!


Giving a little pep talk...with Bella up in the middle of it!

Tag off to the side taking a practice shot.

Like I said...this is a very short video...thankfully I turned my camera on at just the right time!! =) Yay for you, our little Tagaroo!!


I have another video that shows our little bball player in action....but I sort of forgot I was filming and...let's just say you get quite dizzy just watching it. If I can edit it and cut that part out I'll post it later. :)

Union Basketball

Tag had his first basketball game Halloween morning and I found out that I LOVE watching wee basketball! It's so much more exciting than the other sports Tag has played! I was completely impressed with the teams and thought they were pretty much the cutest little guys! I wish you all could have seen the progress the teams made from the beginning of the game to the end...both teams had made so much improvement just during the game! They started to learn at the end to pass the ball if they couldn't shoot and are learning to dribble while running. I have to add too that Tag scored 3 goals!! We have our 2nd game tomorrow at 6 so I'll have more pics and videos then! As soon as we got to the court I got out my camera, turned it on and went to take a pic.....and the battery zapped and went dead. :( So the only thing I have from the game is a cell phone video. It's not the best but you can get an idea. Tag's team is in the yellow jerseys and are on defense in this video. Enjoy the cuteness........

Bently McGregor Banks

The Banks family is growing! Uncle Mark and Amber had their first baby yesterday on Halloween and he's just beautiful! Bently was born at 1:16pm and weighed 6lbs8oz and is 17 3/4 in long. Mark did a great job keeping me updated all day yesterday on Amber's progress and I felt like I was right there for it all! I absolutely hated to miss this big event...in my family we are always there when someone close has a baby...but the 7 hour drive made that quite difficult! Hopefully it won't be too long before we are able to go meet this sweet baby in person! My arms are aching to hold him!!!! CONGRATULATIONS Mark and Amber!!! You did great and we are so happy you have your beautiful baby boy now!

Halloween!!!!!

We had a fabulous Halloween! Tag dressed up as a ninja and Bella Rose was a beautiful bride. We went to our friends Ryan and April's house for a Halloween dinner and then went trick or treating. April had fixed delicious cheese soup in a bread bowl and baked ziti and lots of yummy treats! She is an awesome cook and baker from what I've seen and we really enjoyed spending this Halloween with her and her cute family!!

Our bride getting ready!

Pretty shoes

Mommy dressed up as a leopard! I LOVED the eyelashes!!!

Trick or treating!

1st house to trick or treat at!

This poor guy had to hold Bell's hand (and sometimes Tag's too!) the whole night! lol

Bella made sure to hold her dress up when she ran...just like a little lady!

The kids found their friend Jesus while out trick or treating!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!!!

The Castle of Muskogee

This is a really neat place! They have events at different holidays throughout the year, so we went to the Halloween one. It really looks like a castle and inside it's sort of like a village with shops selling souvenir type things or food (mostly "fair food"!) and then they have several attractions. Some were kid friendly and some really scary things were "no kids allowed". We completely had no clue how many people would be there when we went, though. The lines were insane. We waited probably 40-45 minutes for the haunted hayride, but it was alot of fun. It wasn't really very scary, but was just scary enough to spook the kids! People running out of the scenes set up along the ride and stuff like that. Tag and Bella Rose really like it....but I don't think they would have gone back on it another time! ;) We also went to a pirate show that was really cute and entertaining. Other than that, we really didn't get to do much else due to the lines. We did get some cotton candy and funnel cakes and a fried twinkie! We also nearly froze. I still haven't learned how to factor in the wind chill here. I was unprepared for how cold the wind was that night. Even though we didn't get to do many of the attractions there, it was just a neat place to get to go and see! They will have a Christmas village that I'm sure we will be going back to!


This was the sunset on our way there...so pretty!

The kids standing outside the castle

They had different characters standing around

I know the pictures are dark...but you can kind of tell how it was set up like a village

Tag was mesmerized by this guy! Bell was terrified...naturally!

This was the line to the Torture House....something I had NO INTEREST in going in!!....when we first got in the castle. This line wasn't bad but I wish I had taken a picture of it later in the night...geez it was long1!

This was a vampire named Alucard and his pet werewolf named Wolfie. They were set up along the line of the hayride to entertain while you wait.

He was making Wolfie lay down and roll over...haha!

Tag went up on stage with the other kids (Bella was too unsure what would happen!) at the Pirate Stage. They taught them a little dance, but Tag said he wouldn't do it!

Bella and her yummy cotton candy!

Pumpkin Patch

One day a couple weeks ago, we picked the kids up from school and headed to Pumpkin Town! They had ALOT of fun....and I have ALOT of pictures! Too many to pick through so I just put a ton on here!


I LOVE pumpkins! I like all the neat ones like these that are different colors.

I have no clue what Tag is doing! ha!

Yes...he has his stash stuffed in his shirt!

They came home and arranged it all on our coffee table. I think they made a perfect Fall arrangement! =)
