Emma turned 8 on Tuesday. She had a great day! I can't believe it has been 8 years!! Time flies!!
She got to pick her favorite meal for dinner. Beef Stroganoff. mmm....
Emma had a party with her friends last night. Can't beat an ice cream party. However, I did realize you don't really need cake when having a build your own Sunday party. Most of the cake will be going to the tailgate today.
The girls had a great time!

Bennett & Matt had a chance to see the sights today at Ft. Riley. I am not sure I have ever seen Bennett so excited. He was up at the crack of dawn in uniform ready to go with "Clegeland". I think he is ready to enlist on Monday. 
Thanks for a great day Cleveland! 
We 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. 
Emma's school had their annual Halloween Parade and party. It's always fun to see what the kids come up with. 
The tradition continues. Dad and the kids once again carved some great pumpkins. My favorite part....the roasted pumpkin seeds! Yummmmmm.
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.
