Bruiser

A slightly crazy puppy-dog.

I'm really not kidding, not exaggerating, not making this up... he will chew ANYTHING!!!!

But does it matter? Really? Look at that face!!!!!

And naturally he wants to be wherever the kids are! It's quite hard to keep him out of the tub, and really I'm not all that sure that he likes it, but that's where the kids are at.

Happy Halloween

The evil Dr. Doovenschwartz. Perry held his candy.

The fairest in the land...Snow White.

Awwwww!!!!! They are the sweetest!

And there they are with their Daddy. We went to the church and had a great time playint all the games. This year, I was smart and while we were still there, I walked up to a woman handing out whoppers and asked her for two. Got my fill...yes I did! I was not going home without any - that's for sure!

Boo at the Zoo

Shane and Riley on the creepy train ride.

Yes, Shane is going to kill me for posting this. I look at it this way...at least I'm not printing it in his yearbook. Next time I'll make him take his hat off. Next time? I know. I make myslef laugh. Shane spending the whole day with us happens only a few times a year...don't think he'll head to the zoo with us again.

Bruiser

He's getting so big.

And he's pretty smart.

Cute as a button.

And he chews anything. I mean anything. Tables. Chairs. Walls. Dinner bowls. You name it - he chews it.

And he's SOOOOO cute!!

The Pumpkin Patch

Well My Sha-Sha wouldn't miss this outing for the world!!

My two darling pumpkins.

One of the many choices this year.

The three winners.

What? I can't hear you. I have a pumpkin in my ears.

Bruiser...yup, that's his name!

He is a sweet-heart & fitting right in with the Crazy Keoughs!

The Puppy.

His little collar says "Best Friend" on it.

She loves him already, actually even before we saw him, she was in love with him.

Even Riley seems quite fond of him.

And he is lovin him some Sha-Sha.

We have not come up with a name yet. I like Elmo. Shane likes Rex. Riley likes baby bruiser (there is a story behind that). Adyson just loves him. Dave hasn't met him.

So, no name until.....who knows when. It'll come to us.

My kids love fall

How about that......a halloween sweater. They love fall. I love that they love fall, because I love fall.

Cupcakes

One of those little cupcake things that every girl in the world must have.

A microwaved cupcake. Can't say it looks very appealing to me, but whatever.

The second she pushed the arm down for the frosting, if flew off the stand and onto the table. She was NOT happy. Not happy at all.

But don't think that stopped her from enjoying it. Things are always better that you cook yourself.

Cowboys are #1 !!!

Dave got this jersey for his birthday, and was out of town for the first game, so this was "technically" the first game he got to spend the way he wanted (read: not in a hotel room).

The "matching" shirt for Riley was a little suprise and he was just thrilled to death!! Riley watched the game with his Daddy for all of...um...five minutes.

The cowboys did win, and Riley got to sleep in his shirt.

Big day here at the Keoughs.

Cowboys Rule!

Whatever!! I'm really more about the chili & tailgating than I am football.

Pumpkin Bowling

Pumpkin Bowling.

It's been fall for a week, and I gotta say, it seems like it's taking FOREVER to get here!! I just can't wait. I LOVE fall. Love with a capital L.

As much as I wanted to wait until closer to halloween to pull this out, I decided. eh-it's raining again, I might as well.

It was Fun----with a capital F.

Every day we walk outside and Riley asks..."Can we rake the leaves and jump yet?" Just not quite there yet. Not quite, but almost.

Creepy!!

Riley is at sucha fantastic age. He is so fun and funny. This year, he decides that he likes creepy things. You would think I would oppose this, and secretly, I do, but it's just funny.

So, we hit the stores looking for a skeleton for him.

I can't tell you how many times I turned around in response to the standard question....."Mom??" and looked to see a skeleton stuck in my face with the question...."Is he creepy??"

Aahhh...life with a five year old!
