WARNING: October and November pic post

WARNING: Lots of pics below! Oct and Nov were 2 fully packed months!

Pumpkin carving

This is what Ty did after he got tired of cleaning! He watched TV while Daddy carved for him!

Kailee drew out her design herself!

Walk like an Egyptian!

Downtown Treats!

Soccer... Go Wolves!

Kailee played goalie and defender. She took a few hard hits and still kept coming back for more. She's one tough kid!

Veterans Day

Kailee wrote the veterans she knew on her star. Look on the bottom of this page to watch her sing the National Anthem.

A friend gave me a Friendship bread starter. We make it for several weeks until I ran out of people to give it too. I finally quit when I had FOUR cakes to make and since I don't normally cook.... well you can imagine!

Ty LOVES chicken noodle soup so we have many cans on hand at all times. This is how he likes to finish... with his straw!

The Pre-K and Kinder classes had a Thanksgiving feast together. The girls were pilgrims and the boys were indians. Here's Ty giving his best "Indian" yell.

Putting up the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving

Fluffing branches!

It's become a tradition for the kids to put on the star every year so instead of taking turns, we just put it onb twice!!! Soon they will be too big for Billy to lift! :(

VETREN'S DAY Celebration 11-11-10

July

Still playing catch up....SLOOOWLYYY!

The kids wanted to try Tae Kwon Do. They entered the summer class and loved it for awhile. Kailee really enjoyed it but when soccer started, she just got too tired! Poor baby had Tae Kwon Do on Tuesdays and Thursday at 530-615, and soccer practice Tuesdays and Fridays at 630-730, games on Saturdays with Girl Scouts meeting on Mondays and other things scattered through out the week. I said TOO MUCH!!!

Also in July, I won the grandkid lottery! Look at my prize below! My grandparents put all eight grandkids name in a pot and drew out a name for a 1975 Delta 88 that my Popa has restored. Love it!!!

And the best thing that happened in July...


Travis, my sister's boyfriend, was baptized!

4th of July '09

Still playing catch-up! Here are my favorite pics from the 4th of July. We first went to Noodle for the 4th when we bought our house and our neighbors invited us to join them. The tiny community has a dinner and then puts on an awesome fireworks show each year! We've gone each year since then and our kids LOVE it!

After we leave Noodle, we come home and let the kids set off the small fireworks at the house. I think this is the only holiday that we spend with just us. This is one of my favorite parts!
