Monster Murder Mystery

SYNOPSIS
The monsters arrived at the Annual Monster Summit expecting a typical meeting of planning the upcoming year's frightening events!As usual a few monsters fouled the chemistry of the group and caused uncomfortable tension. Nonetheless, the monsters kicked off the evening with eerie appetizers. They challenged each other on amusing monster trivia questions before engaging in a catch-up session of the past year's events. The monsters played some hilarious games such as the Horrific Rap Contest.Some of the monsters continued to create hostilities towards one another and so dinner was served with a fun distraction of The Spooky Movie Challenge.Then, to everyone's shock...a monster was murdered!The victim, now a ghost, threatened to haunt everyone forever if the murderer wasn't unveiled quickly! So the monsters investigated the crime and solved whodunit-while taking a few breaks to play the What Spooky Thing am I game, and the Ghoulish Balloon Blower challenge! Then, gruesome dessert was served with grisly hot chocolate and one by one, the monsters accused who they believed to be the murderer... and the monstrous murderer confessed! To top off the Annual Monster Summit, the monsters played the Fearsome Charade challenge. Overall, it was a very interesting night at the Monster Summit and humankind should look forward to the spooky events the monsters have planned for the upcoming year.

THE MURDER-Howlie Moon aka Becky Solis-Stokes

I was a little worried how serious the kids would take this but they were awesome. They pretty much had the mystery solved by the time Howlie confessed. It was so fun to watch everyone have such a great time. The time frame was from 7 to 10 so I was worried about them getting finished to early and having to keep them occupied. That was not the case. There were 15 kids total and every single one of them were so in to solving the mystery that no one got bored or rowdy. Thanks to Becky and my mom for helping out. Couldn't have done it without you.

Broks football game

Saturday bright and early we got up and went to Broks ball game. Their team has done better with each game. This game they scored their first touchdown of the season. Way to go boys!!They have worked really hard to get to were they are.Brok doesn't get to play much because he is so small and not very agressive. Hopefully someday he will get a growth spurt. I am very proud of his determination. He never complains about not playing much he is just happy we let him play.By high school maybe some of the aggressiveness will kick in.

Our new babies

So because of the darn addiction I have we ended up with two baby turtles. The smallests name is Peewie and the bigger Hermon. Really it has nothing to do with Mr. Hermon himself. I decided to name the little one Peewie since he is premature. Jace came up with Hermon. Now we have Ms.Myrtle,Angelica often called Jelly bean, Mr.Irwin,Hermon and Peewie. They are alot of fun and I am pretty sure I am done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYTAN!!!

There is so much to say about my sweet daughter I don't even know where to begin. She was VERY stubborn until about 3 years old and then became likable. I have no idea where she got her stubborness from. Paytan is always willing to help with things around the house and taking care of her younger brothers. Jace has been her baby since the day he was born. She normally baths him and has since he was little. She cleans the house like it should be cleaned which I am so thankful for. Boys are so messy and unorganized. Her sweet spirit and truthfulness are my favorite traits about her. Even when I don't want to hear her opionion or disapprove I am thankful she is always willing to stand her ground. She has lots of friends who are good examples and believe in the same standards she does. Paytan loves kids and thankfully when tending for me she manages to keep the house clean and have fun with the boys. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful daughter. I LOVE YOU PAYTERS (even if you are daddies girl).





Paytan and our dog Buddy. He would let her climb all over him. He seemed to be happiest then.



Poor Paytan she was always so patient. I loved dressing her up and taking her picture from the day she was born.


That's my girl! Always having fun!

Drill team

Yeah!! Paytan made Drill team. She was so nervous to go look at the list once it was posted but found her name and was elated. What an awesome birthday present. Her birthday is tomorrow and she said if she gets nothing else this does it. Congrats Paytan!! Turn your speakers on and my music player off before watching.
