Getting ready.....

This is a big weekend in the Brinegar household. We have Jeff and AJ's favorite day of the year--Halloween, AJ's birthday and the first round playoff game for the Browns; all on Sunday! We are having a family get together tomorrow and I am working on AJ's cake tonight. I have never made a cake like this so I am a bit nervous that it won't come out right, but hey it is worth a try. I have been using my Kitchen Aid mixer--the best thing ever---that we, I mean, I got as a wedding gift. Jeff's words were something like, "That is way too much money for something you will never use," well he has eaten his words a few times! HA. I love this thing. So, wish me luck in my Martha Stewart endeavors and stay tuned for pictures of Halloween, the party, the cake, and the Brown's playoff run! Enjoy, Happy Halloween.

What we have been up to....

FALL FUN
Well since my last post a month ago we have had quit a busy month. We traveled to Lancaster, PA for our annual trip the last weekend of September. We stay at the Red Caboose Motel, get the kids' halloween costumes, and enjoy some family time. We had a football game that morning and then headed up for the festivities. Here are some of the pictures of the Skeleton Mummy aka AJ and the Hollywood Starlet aka Madison. Of course my Halloween loving husband has to get in on the fun, here is Jeff with the kids in his freaky pumpkin mask! The kids and I posing.


After all of this Halloween fun, we headed down to Elkins, WV on October 3rd for the Forest Festival with my wonderful mother and father-in-law! We had a blast suprising Mamaw with a framed photo of all her grandchildren. She loved it so much, she cried. Jeff in another of his masks (this one is quite funny ;)






Last weekend was another football game and victory for the EPYFL Browns who have clinched the EPYFL Championship for the second year in a row. They are on the road to be the tri-county champions with games until the beginning of November. Here are some photos of our cheerleader and tight end.

After the game Carrie and Dave came over for the West Virginia game. Then, we decided to head on over to the pumpkin patch for Fall fright night hayride and corn maze. It was a little scarier than we had planned, but very fun. The boys enjoyed the adult corn maze and the House of Panic.
Boy have we been busy.....................
