This makes me cry every time

Pictures and Update

 Cade cracks me up with all of his poses.

 While I was working the other day Derrick made the boys this fort under the table and they kicked back in there jammies and watched movies.

 Cade has had this think with mohawks... blue and green ones. When we ran out of the spray colors I cut his hair. ☺

 This is from a few months ago... a day at the track.

 Rad posing after he received his very first scouting badge.

 Trick or Treat! They had a lot of compliments on their helmets being used as candy buckets.

Watching some wrestling. Rad is out for the remainder of the season. He sprain/strained his back in practice. I was so relieved when the xrays came back showing NO structural damage. Whew.

No pics of Shayli... again... but she passed drivers ed with flying colors and is quite the cautious driver. Way to go Shayli!

HAPPY HALLOWEENY!

HAPPY HALLOWEENY! HAHA. A few years ago a buddy of Bob's named Brent called and left a message on the answering machine yelling... "HAPPY HALLOWEENY!" Anyone who knows Brent can imagine what the message sounded like, I think about him every Halloween.

This Halloween Shayli was bummed that she had so much homework and is so over the whole trick or treat thang.

I took the boys trick or treating around the hospital and local extended care facility, then took Rad to wrestling practice. Derrick and Shayli met us at practice and then we walked around the high school while the boys trick or treated. For the door knocking the boys dressed up in their riding gear again and used their helmets as their candy buckets. After trick or treating we parted ways... I headed to the hospital to work a night shift and the rest of the family headed home to mow down on candy.

Derrick they boys and I went to a Halloween dance party last weekend. It was fun. Derrick was an executioner, I was some creepy blond lady... really, kids walked in large circles around me, Rad was a snake and Cade was "scooby doo batman". The boys had a blast running around with friends and man oh man can my boys get down. They break dance and it is awesome.

My favorite part of this years Halloween festivities was this...

Pulling up to the extended care facility Rad tells me that when he thinks about the people there it makes him feel like he is going to cry because he feels so sad for them and the things that they can no longer do for themselves. I told him that by going in and spending time that they would be making the residents smile. While in ECF the boys gave hugs, said their pleases and thank yous, helped out when needed and told everyone they saw Happy Halloween. Back in the van Rad says, "Mom, I do not feel like I want to cry for them anymore. I made them happy." I love, love, love how sweet my little Rad is.
