Fun Thanksgiving

We've had such a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Surrounded by the people we love!!  Hope yours was great too & you have loads to be thankful for.

Our girl!

Sidney just looked so cute today for church, I couldn't resist taking some pictures of her.

She - was NOT impressed.  LOL

 Papa Lyle - you know you love the bow!!

 Are we done yet?

 PLEASE!

 Oh, if i smile I get some food, sweet!!

CHOCOLATE!!

We have some chocolate lovers here!

I gave each of the kids a halloween candy & this is where they sat to eat!

Sidney was NOT impressed with me interupting her Reece's time!

Tea Party

We had a mini-tea party today! 

 The boys found the toy tea-pot & teacups, so we decided to make it fun.

We made peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.
The boys had a car, square, star & circle.



Sidney had butterflies & flowers.

The cheese they boys got a cow, a pig & a bunny.

Sidney got butterflies & flowers!

 They were so excited to eat their lunch today & loved drinking out of the silly teacups!

Happy Saturday to you!!

Happy Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween 2011

This year we had:

Cayden = Optimus Prime

Sidney = ladybug

Prestyn = Superman

Check out those poses!

 Sidney had so much fun, and by the end of the night was saying trick or treat - in her language.

She'd go up & say it, then say "me...more...pease" 

LOL ~ everyone loved her!

 Prestyn was a total stud, trucking on up to the houses after Cayden.

 Cayden was the leader of the pack.

Showing Prestyn & Sidney the ropes & running off ahead!

He had a ball.

 The kids with Daddy!

 The kids with Mommy!

 Our little trick-or-treaters!

 We went up to the nursing home & trick-or-treated there as well!

We bumped into some friends. 

Sidney's friend Jurzee was an adorable butterfly!!

 Sidney's other friend Bailey was a ladybug too!

They had fun checking out each others outfits!

We also ran into the Newmans.

Sidney's friend Nora was a ladybug too!

Must have been the theme this year!

Aren't they adorable? 

 Nora, Sidney, Kael, Cayden & Prestyn

Happy Halloween!

Grandma Meme - a VERY special lady!

We went on a trip to Glasgow to visit Great Grandma Meme.

Of course, when we got there & got the kids out of the truck, Sidney had poo'd through her pants.

So Papa set off to get her some new ones (what a great papa)

Meanwhile, we went in to visit great grandma & Sidney got her 1st ride on G-ma's walker.

She thot it was cool

 We had to do the normal photo shoot of the kids with Grandma Meme.

This was the best one! 

didn't papa do a good job picking out Sid's outfit? SOOO CUTE!

 Little Prestoni kept trying to sneek away.

 Then of course I wanted a picture of Grandma & me.

She's such a very special lady & is soo very dear to my heart.

It makes my heart happy to see her & talk to her.

But it also makes me sad, she is slowing down so very much.

But she's still got her spunk, and attitude, which I love.

 Then one of 4 generations (the boys were NOT wanting more pictures at this point)

We ended up having a wonderful visit with Grandma Meme. 

As ususal, it was entirely too short, but we loved getting to see her.

When we were leaving I stayed behind to help Grandma get up to her walker to get back to her room, which took a LONG time.

She was frustrated, and said "HOW did I get this old?" 

Just breaks my heart.

I know she wants to go be with Jesus, it just isn't her time yet.

So I'm taking every moment that I have with her & savoring it!

She's one VERY special lady!

PUMPKINS

We had fun carving pumpkins again this year.

Last year Cayden would NOT pull out the seeds. 

This year - he was pretty psyched up for it.

 We decided to skip the knives & just let the kids draw on their pumpkins this year.

Cayden thought that was a grand idea.

 Sidney had a little assistance.

 We had fun (can you tell by P's expression?)
