Chaney Crew

Ray took this shot...

Last weekend we went down and visited with Teralee... and I really do mean Teralee! It was like no one else really exsisted! The boys played in the floor with her and just ate her all up! It was a last minute visit. We did not get to stay very long, but Ray and I managed to get some good shots of her! I think she is the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen!

We had a great week of Halloween celebrations... We went to Boo at the Zoo... On Wednesday night Ray and I took the boys to the Haunted House at the school. It was being put on by the Champs program. The kids were very nice to us... No scaring... Of course I was totally freaked out! I HATE Haunted Houses! We then went over to a local church's fall festival with the Hortons. It was a lot of fun. On Friday, we came home and got ready as quickly as we could and left for Gram's house. She was waiting to see the boys, and they were so excited to see her! We did not stay long because we were meeting friends to go along Main Street in Malvern. We tried to make the costume contest at the library and missed being judged because of traffic. We got on Main Street and paraded with everyone else! It was a lot of fun... The whole town of Malvern and surrounding areas seemed to be there. It is safe and fun; plus the kids get a ton of candy! We finished the night at the Magnet Cove v. Glen Rose football game... We kicked tail!!! Go Beavers!

NOTICE THE PIC OF RAY AND THE BOYS... WHO DOES RAY RESEMBLE?

We decided to take the boys to Boo at the Zoo this year. We usually make the trip to the Rock with the Haights; however, they are in Colorado now, so it was just the family. The best tip I can tell you about Boo at the Zoo is to get there early and beat the crowd! We did not have to take a stroller this year which was great! The boys roamed and prowled around. We still had light when we entered, and we were some of the first to get in. We saw the monkeys, and the boys got a head start on the candy. There were no lines!!! It was so nice. We sat through the animal feature which was full of "scary" animals... you know... SNAKES, SPIDERS, OWLS, SKUNK... The ones you never really want to get very close to! My boys loved it! If they did not bring the animal close enough for Gage to almost hug it, then he had a fit! There is a pic with him and the spider... We had to make Gavin get in the pic! ;) We got some fair food... Oh and Gavin wanted to go through the Haunted House... not the best idea, but okay we agreed. Of course Ray took him... Are you kidding?? Me in a haunted house! I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! He hated it and cried! Gage got to ride a ride and had the best time! It was a great trip. I am glad that we take the boys! Gavin has almost been every Halloween!
