We're MOVING!

Well WE aren't moving ... but our blog IS!  I have really enjoyed the blogspot blog for the last year, but I've been experimenting with other platforms and have found one that really makes me happy.  From now on, you can find us at:



This blog will stay up and there is a link on the new one so you can always look back through the amazing memories of the last year. 

You are going to LOVE how big and clear the pictures are ...

"BOO!" to you, too!

Once again, under the cloak of darkness, the Great Pumpkin of Carl Junction bestowed upon us the gifts of the season ...

Not only does the Great Pumpkin have good taste in candy, she is incredibly creative and endlessly talented.

We love you!

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who checks us out on this blog.  October 21 was the one year anniversary of  lands7.blogspot.com and I've loved sharing our goings-ons with all of you.  Happy Halloween to everyone ~ have fun & be safe. 
xoxo, Ann

Little Halloween on the Prarie






Today was so much fun.  We had our first preschool Halloween party.  There was a quck parade around the playground and then we went inside for face painting, pin-the-nose-on-the pumpkin, and had a pumpkin relay.  We sang songs and made a giant spider web with yarn.  We got lots of candy, too!  We love Halloween!

Soccer Weekend in Kansas City

This weekend Kayla, Becca Wilson, & I traveled to KC for the Missouri Mule Tournament.
We had a super fun time!

We did kooky hair stuff!  (Specifically those are game-ready "Intimidation Buns" ~ they look pretty scary, huh?)



We did the YMCA at Joe's Crab Shack!



We got a cool Pink Panther balloon animal!



We went to the Wizards soccer game against DC United!



OH YHEA~  We played some AWESOME soccer, too!



I'm talking three shut-outs!



TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS!



GO PINK, GO!!!



Oh yhea ... and we got dirty ... REALLY DIRTY!!!



The tournament finals were cancelled on Sunday afternoon due to a huge storm that also shut down the KC Chiefs game across town, too.

What an amazing weekend for the team and for the girls and me!  We had such a great time!

You can follow the girls at www.pinkpanthersoccer.com
Next tournament is Nov. 7-8 - Autumn Bash

Are You Ready For Some Football?



The Bulldogs 3rd Grade/White finished the season 6- 2 with a big finish in the SuperBowl on Saturday, beating Lamar 36-14.  Stephen had a great time and so did we.  Look for Number 14 next year too ... we will definitely be back!

TGIF ... oh TG



Those mornings when everybody is in such a good mood are so rare ~ too bad Kayla got out of the house before I could snap a shot of her, she looked gorgeous!  I'll catch her after school.  Tonight is the CertainTeed Company picnic at Route 66 Carousel Park ~ it's going to be cold, but we can't wait to ride those teacups!!!  Have a great weekend & I hope your Friday morning has been as much fun as mine.

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch ~ Our First Field Trip!















We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch with Miss Pam and Miss Marcella today.  It was chilly and muddy, but the boys loved the hay ride and picking thier own pumpkins.

An Exciting Weekend

Thanks to Walt Wilson, Kayla got to meet Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger this weekend at a book signing for WalMart.  Along with Katherine and Abigail, she also got to see Faith Hill introduce her new perfume.



Stephen lost a tooth - leaving a big gap right in the front.  It was so loose it was literally hanging down like a fang for over a week!  He's got two weeks to get rid of the other front tooth and one on the bottom and then it's off to the dentist who will surely want to yank them out!  Wiggle, Stephen, wiggle!



Coming up: 
Cameron & Drew - Pumpkin Patch Field Trip on Thursday
Bradley - Still working on his book order ... running out of time!
Stephen - Football in Joplin on Saturday
Kayla - 2 Soccer Scrimmages in Bella Vista, AR on Saturday

Number 14 in your Program, Number 1 in your Hearts!


YES!  That is Stephen out there ... #14!  He is playing tackle football for the first time as a third grader and he loves it.  He has practice two or three times/week and a game every Saturday morning at 10:00.  Carl Junction 3rd graders have a Red Team and a White Team - we are on white.  The first game was played after a very rainy Friday night, so the team got to play on the Missour Southern football field - HOW EXCITING!  The Bulldogs White have lost two and won one with a socre of 32 - 8.   We have two more away games and then we're done for the season.

Pink Panthers Rock!

The Pink Panthers played back to back weenend tournaments in Broken Arrow, OK and Northwest Arkansas.  They didn't place in either tournament, but they played hard and really gave it their best.  The play got pretty aggressive at times, but Kayla did an amazing job as sweeper!  She just has to stop "sweeping" with her backside!  haha

Doing The Birthday Bounce!


Our HOUSE OF BOUNCE birthday party was a huge success! Everyone had a hot, sweaty blast and jumped until they were totally exhuasted! Big kids, little kids, even some Dads were in on all the bouncy fun. The cupcakes were a big hit and everyone loved their cotton candy prizes at the end. I give this birthday party an A+!
