Thanksgiving

This year we gave thanks Kansas City style then morphed the holiday into a mini family vacay.

1st stop Aunt Kasey's house

Lot's of snuggle time for some ladies

Rynoosk cooked his first bird

Kids inhaled some peanut butter finger

2nd stop - Uncle Todd's

Jump, jump, jumping on the trampoline

Ton's of fun with cousins

Loud boys

3rd stop - Coco Key Water Part and Hotel

Splashing, sliding, buckets dumping

Lazy River

Water Basketball

Hotel room that smelled like poo

Jumping on bed

Crawler in a hotel room - ick!

4th Stop - Bass Pro Shop

Nearly 2 hours of broswing camo and guy stuff

Shooting guns

Mounted Animals

4 wheeler

WHEW! We packed a lot into a holiday weekend.

No nap for me!

This is what we see sometimes when the little lady isn't going to take her nap. Impossible to resist! She gets swooped right out of there!

Kale's Indian Program

Kale's Pre-K class put on an Native American Indian program (not very PC!) for all the parents. They sang over 20 songs. Kale's Indian name was "Red Fox". It was a must that we called him Red Fox for several days leading up to the big show. Kale's performance, well...he jacked around with his neighbor the whole time. I had hoped he might be my one kid that would just get up on the stage and sing. Not the case. I only had to give him the stink eye a handful of times. The class also took this show on the road to Chick-Fil-A and performed for the lunch time crowd. Not a lot of people there but my co-workers and the cow were there. And yes, Kale jacked around most of the show. Oh well.

Kimono

Lucas' idea of fixing hair

He thinks she looks just perfect and there's no way her bangs are getting in the way now!

Halloween 2010

A fun Halloween this year sans Lucas' stomach flu. Steve, Logan, and Kale trick or treated with some friends while Lucas, Avery and I stayed home. Lucas and Avery made it to one neighbor's house and that was all Lucas could give. Avery didn't mind wearing her costume at all. She was super cute. Kale and Logan had a blast and really brought in a lot of candy. They toured in style...a gator pulling a trailer with hay bails. The two healthy kids had to share their candy with Lucas. Without a second thought they gave him all their almond joys. Such generous kids...not. A co-worker of mine sent me home with a bunch of body part candy that made Lucas' day.

The Amazing Lucas

Lucas is playing soccer again this season and he conned me into coaching. We are having fun together and Lucas is amazing on the soccer field. He is absolutely one of the best players on the team and plays hard. He has scored every game and hates taking a break. Go Luke!
