Happy Birthday and Go Royals

Happy Birthday Michael!! This morning Michael opened up his birthday gifts and he got a new Pitt State shirt, a Royals glass and a French Press.

I made Michael's favorite meal for dinner....homemade meatballs, homemade garlic mashed potatoes, southern green beans, and bread and butter.  I tried a new recipe for dessert and it was called motherload cookie bars.

Chris and Kelly came over to celebrate Michael's birthday and cheer on the Royals.

Go Royals!!

Dylan all decked out in Royals gear.

Kelly and I tried a new cocktail called blue breeze.

Come on Royals!! Win this game for Michael's birthday.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Poor Mason is the only one I get to dress up anymore.

Glow in the Dark Zumba Class

Kelly and I had so much fun tonight at "Glow in the dark" Zumba class.  Megan had black paper all over the windows and glow in the dark paint and tape all over the studio.

It was challenging  because she turned out all of the lights and had black lights on and we all got glow stick necklaces and bracelets.

Why can't all exercise be this much fun?!?!

Cookie Haunted House

This afternoon we had fun decorating a cookie haunted house. 

The finished product

We actually did a much better job than I expected!!

Royals Watch Party With Teenagers

Tonight we had a Royals watch party with 12 teenagers!!  We might be a little crazy!

21 Years of Marriage

Michael is out of town this week so cheers to 21 years of marriage.

ALDS Championship Game With My Son

Tonight I had the best night with Dylan. Michael is out of town this week so I stepped out of my box and drove to Kauffman Stadium for the first time but it was worth it.

Dylan and I even tailgated.

All that work for two lonely hot dogs.

WOW! There is a little bit of a crowd.

GO ROYALS!

Cueto did an amazing job pitching. 

We won and it was an absolutely amazing experience and I am so glad I was with my son.

Making memories that will last a lifetime.

Pumpkin Carving

Cass had her friend Emily come over so she could carve her first pumpkin.  She did a great job cleaning it out!

Then Cass showed Dylan a picture of a jack-o-lantern and Dylan did the actual carving.

Great teamwork!!

KC Pumpkin Patch

It's official! The pumpkin patch isn't as fun as it use to be. This is probably the last time for the Arnott family.

Shooting some barnyard basketball

At least they had a slide for the boys to do.

PUMPKINS

We found our pumpkin but Cass didn't want to carry it.

Cheering on the Royals at Saints Pub

Kasey and I enjoyed our Friday afternoon with appetizers, blue beverages and cheering on the Royals!!

A Little Sightseeing in North Carolina

Stacie and I went to a training this week and had some time in the evenings to do a little sightseeing.  The first night we got in late but had enough time to go to the Carolina Brewery for dinner.

Then dessert at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt Bar.

One evening we went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (the first university to open) and this church was right next to campus.

Vance Hall (financial aid office) at UNC

The buildings on campus were beautiful.

View from the rocking chairs on the front porch of Maple View Dairy Farm.

They had the MOST delicious ice cream!!

Last night we went to Bennett Place State Historic Site. (the site where the largest surrender of the Civil War took place).

Unity Monument-the single top crosspiece that joins the two pillars represents the reuniting of the North and South.

Bennett House

Then we took a little nature walk through the woods.

The trees were so darn tall.

After our nature walk we took a road trip to Duke University. 

Beautiful!

Stacie and I thoroughly enjoyed sushi at Kanki and that is why we had it twice in four days.

We went to a great training but I am glad to be home.
