Okay, so I was messing around in Snapfish tonight and found the share button. Since I've been such a bad blogger, here's our month of October in pictures. Includes crazy hair day at school, Tori's first field trip, some cheer pix, and Halloween. :-) Miss you all...

On June 20st we hosted mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary at our house. We had about 116 people over for a fabulous dinner, dancing and fun.
The slide show really says it all, photographers for the evening were Paul Regier and Tracy Williams...thanks guys.
There is one photo of mom singing Mr. Wonderful (a song sung originally by Peggy Lee) to dad. She first sang that to him when she was 16 and he was being installed as the president of something or another. Sixteen, can you believe it? And she sang it to him again, more than 50 years later!
It was truly an amazing night. Thanks mom and dad for being such an inspiration to us. We love you!
Okay this is a delayed post, but we've been crazy busy!
Say what you will about his choices later in life, his impact in the music world is phenomenal.
This past weekend end we kicked off the summer pool party fun with the Roths and Sassanos. Great fun, food and flips!
I think that summertime is a gift from God, allowing us much needed time to reconnect as a family and with friends. So often we kicked completed swamped during the school year that we put off staying connected with others.
This summer we are making a concerted effort to connect with YOU!
Party at the Alveys...(or maybe just with!) be there!

Last week I was getting ready for work, in fact, my car was already running, when Kevin informed me that he couldn't find Joshua. "What?" I said. "What do you mean?" "I can't find him," he said. So the four of us (we enlisted Lizzie and Tori to help) started searching the house. All of the doors leading outside were locked and he can't unlock those yet. So we knew he had to be in the house. We searched cupboards, drawers, the pantry, the laundry room, bathrooms, and closets to no avail. We could not find him. Finally, after about 5 frantic minutes of searching, Kevin found him. The back of our bedroom we have two closets, one for Kev and one for myself. Kevin's closet door has a lock on it. Yes, you guessed it. He locked himself in Kevin's closet. It took some persuading, but we managed to talk him into unlocking the door. Yes, the doorknob has now been fixed so he can no longer do that. The next night, Kev was at school late and I had to pick the kids up from babysitters, get them home, get Tori into her uniform and to her game within about 15 minutes. Time was tight and I wasn't messing around. As I was bent down tying Tori's cleats I felt Josh messing around behind me. He was chatting away and grabbing at the top of my waistband of my pants (in back). I just ignored him and continued to focus on Tori. When I finished with her, I went to quickly change myself. As I pulled off my pants I found what Josh was chatting about. He had put a live stink bug (good 'ol country living) down my pants. Yup, true story. Moral of the story…Josh will not be ignored!
