Kim's Birthday and Halloween

Well, a lot has certainly happened since I las updated.  I apologize for waiting so long and I promise to try and not let a MONTH go by before I update again.

Let's start with Kim's birthday.  She is always so great and completely spoils Jax and me, so I decided to do something special this year for her.  After all, she turned 27 on the 27th.  Some folks from church decided to have a bonfire in October and agreed to let it double as Kim's surprise birthday party.  Kim was clueless.  She just thought we were going to burn stuff until we walked through the door and the house was decorated for her B-day party.  She was definitely surprised and I had the bruise to prove it.  She also thought that we were broke-ish and didn't know that we had received a rebate we were expecting which I used to buy her the present she has been begging for since we got married--a Dyson vacuum cleaner.  I promise, it is what she wanted.

Moving on to Halloween.  As usual, Todd and Tracy hosted the party this year and it was a ball.  Steve did beat me in the costume contest, but he had to wear tights to do it.  If you think you can handle it, check out the pics below.  We dressed Jax up as a sock monkey and it was awesome.

Well, I better go, Jaxon has rolled 3 feet away from his blanket and it now chewing on the couch.  By the way, he cut his first tooth!

Hope you are all well.

We're not as close to the furious blaze as we look.

See?  I told you she wanted the Dyson.
