I couldn’t really speak for a couple of days as I was still in shock. But now that I’ve recovered, I can finally say CUBS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!! 🙂

Oh what a night

Shannon Paul McMahon, Jr. turned 11. We had a great time celebrating him with lots of family and friends. I got a little teary last night watching him with cousins and friends so happy and blessed.

His iPod touch.

I don't understand why that's better than a 7 inch screen tablet, but whatever.

Winter is Coming

Mac wasn’t too happy when I told him it was time to cut down the zinnias. But he did it for me. I love him.

Pumpkins 2016

With the pumpkins they got at the patch, they decided to go Star Wars themed this year. Mac did all of his carving by himself! I am very impressed!

Pumpkin Patch 2016

The cousins came down from Chicago and we had them over to play for Friday evening and then headed to Curtis Orchard the next day. The weather was GORGEOUS and we had a blast!

We decided to join her because she looked so cute in the big chair…it didn’t turn out at all like I was imagining…How do you sit in those things?!

This is what happens when I send Shannon to get the pic. He doesn't yell at them to smile like I do. This is what happens when you let kids do what they want...
