Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Auntie and Uncle Jeff's house. The dinner was delicious and the company fun! Blake and Kendall were happy to have their photos taken but Evan wanted to play football instead.

ABC's of the First Thanksgiving Play

Evan's second grade class presented the "ABCs of the First Thanksgiving" play today. Each child had a letter and they spoke their lines. Evan had "N" is "November there was plenty to eat no one will be hungry this winter" and "Z" is for zany the children act zany running all around with their new friends. They had a wonderful time."  After the play each child presented his or her "Thankful" poster that they made at home with their family. It was cute to hear what each child was thankful for. Evan was thankful for his family, friends, food, car, God, football, and basketball!

sweet Dalton Gabriel

Corey and Krista asked Gary and I to be Dalton's Godparents. His Baptism took place on Sunday, November 21st at St. Gabriel's. It was a beautiful ceremony. Dalton was calm and quiet during the ceremony. We celebrated afterwards with a yummy lunch at Olive Garden. Blake wore his Holy Communion suit and looked so handsome! He wanted to wear it. Gary and I are honored to be Dalton's Godparents!

Grandpa's Birthday

We celebrated my Dad's birthday (a.ka. Grandpa) last Sunday November 7th. The boys picked out cupcakes and Kendall chose a Princess Ariel one for Grandpa. We had dinner, sung Happy Birthday, and ate cupcakes! Happy Birthday Grandpa..we love you!!
And just in case you're wondering why Kendall is naked...she didn't want to wear clothes that night!

Principal's List Q1

Blake made the Principal's List for Quarter 1 of the school year. This was his first time on the list. He made Honor Roll Q1-4 last year (3rd grade). We are very proud of him and his accomplishments. Blake loves his teacher, Mrs. Hoernig and she tells us he's a great kid (which we know too!)!

Kendall got bored during the assembly and fished around in my purse for lipsticks. She always looks at my lips and says "I want some of that" and today she got some. She actually applied it really well!!

Trick or Treat 2010

We carved pumpkins on Saturday or should I say Blake and Gary carved pumpkins. Blake sat down after Gary had helped with his design and carved his own pumpkin. He did a great job. Then he took a small one that Kendall had found at the pumpkin patch and carved that. Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie came over on Halloween for dinner and trick or treating. Gary and I take turns handing out the candy and going door to the door with the kids. This year we had a pretty Princess, a Ninja, and a Mac Daddy. There were lots of kids this year like always and tons of candy! Happy Halloween!
