Happy Halloween!!

We tried
and tried

and tried......

Getting a picture of Skylar standing still is no easy task. (Jen, I know you know what I am talking about.) Maybe next year.

There has never been a more fitting costume. Busy Bee she is.

Our little Sergent.

Halloween Party

Emma's school had their annual Halloween Parade and party. It's always fun to see what the kids come up with.

Pumpkin Carving Fun

The tradition continues. Dad and the kids once again carved some great pumpkins. My favorite part....the roasted pumpkin seeds! Yummmmmm.

Fall Family Fun!!

It was a perfect fall day for a trip to the pumpkin patch. We traveled a few miles down the rode south of Wamego. The kids had a blast and could have spent the whole day there. There were all kinds of fun things to do..a bale maze, big tire swings, walking path, a pumpkin launcher (okay they were actually using hedge apples), bale bounce. Just an all around fun place on a beautiful day.

I just love this picture! My two beautiful girls.

Emma had her friend Payton spend the night. We always enjoy having her around. Notice the matching outfits. I am wondering what age that isn't cool anymore? Emma has loved to do that forever.

They loved having dad push them on the tire swing.

Firestation Fun!

Today was the Fire Department open house. Emma, Bennett, and cousins Allie & Logan took it all in. Fire truck rides, spraying out a fire, riding to the top of the ladder, popcorn, & lemonade make for a fun afternoon.

We happened to be first in line so they were able to sit in the front. The two heads up front are Allie and Bennett. They thought it was pretty cool to push the siren button.

Girls Day Out

Emma, myself, and our friends Trina and Jerica headed to Kansas City yesterday to see The Lion King. The show was incredible! It was great to spend some one on one time with the "big" girls. Thanks girls for a wonderful day!
