HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!

So today is my sister 29th birthday. She is planning a big day and I hope that she has a absolutely magnificient day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER. LOVE YOU.

PUMPKIN ANYONE!!!!!!

It is the eve of Halloween and we have had a pumpkin on the doorstep for a couple of weeks now. Kolbie has been really bugging Bruce to either paint or carve it so since racing season is over and Bruce has some time on his hands he decided to put his artistic skills to work. Once he got started he really got into it. It looked really good. I was really impressed. We put a candle in it and put it back out on the steps and when it got really dark out it looked really great. A real Picasso!!!!!

EDUCATIONAL FUN!!!!!!

So racing season is officially over so we decided that we would take a day to do something fun. I was checking out some things to do on the internet the other day and found where the SC State Museum was hosting a Halloween Extravagana. According to the forecast it was going to rain so we decided a day indoors would be just the thing for us. Bruce left the house about 8 Saturday morning and decided he would ride his bike as far as he could get to Columbia before I caught him. Well Kolbie and I got caught up in a movie ("My Dog Skip") which was a great movie, and we got a later start than that. We left the house about 10:15 and ventured out on the same route that Bruce was taken. We finally caught up with him on a lone road about 15 miles from Columbia. So I guess he had rode about 65 miles. We pulled over at this run down convenience store so that he could change. Needless to say no one in this town had seen a guy changing clothes outside before. We got some of the weirdest looks.

We got to Columbia, grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the museum

Well they had it all decorated for Halloween. There was gouls and goblins hanging from everywhere. Kolbie was really scared of them. There was a guy walking around as a dead person carrying his head. He was really cool but absolutely terrified Kolbie and even manage to come around a corner and scare me a few times.

Kolbie was very fascinated with all the different things to see in the museum aside from Halloween stuff. They had this really cool scavenger hunt going on where you had to answer questions about different things from Space Exploration to Funeral procession of slaves. Once you got finished you could go and get a prize. He really enjoyed that also. Bruce was a little bored but he was so sweet to take Kolbie.

We had a good time and we didn't have to be rushed or anything. We just got to spend the day together.

LET ME INTRODUCE......
The Humphries consist of more than me, Bruce, and Kolbie. We also have 2 other members of our family. First let me introduce......




WEEBLE




Notice that he is a proud supporter of the Hincapie/Coca-Cola cycling team.

He is the oldest at almost 10. He is our special baby. He has been with us for years.

Next allow me to introduce........





Maddie





She just showed up on our doorstep one day about 3 years ago and has been with us ever since. She is spoiled rotten and definetely a jealous dog. She doesn't like to share me with anyone.

ELECTRIC FUN

Okay so Bruce's mom invited us to go to her work (Broad River Electric Coop) for a Fall Festival. Kolbie had a really good time. Unfortunately I could not hold my eyes open in the picture. Not sure when we picked up the little green monster.

Kolbie got the Great Grizzly award at school recently. This award was given to the child in his class who demonstrated the most responsibility. We were very pleased with him. He didn't even know he was going to get it. Total Surprise

Trying this out

Okay, so everyone out there seems to have a blog now a days. So I decided I would start one for our family. We will see how this works out.
