Thanksgiving Dinner-- The Kids' Table

Christmas Parade

Emily's Girl Scout troop was in the Sapulpa Christmas Parade last Saturday night. They had been working on decorating their float for the last few weeks. The theme was "home for the holidays", and Emily got to sit right in front of the heart she made, which says "I love my family". Awwwww.

Trying to get a Christmas Card picture

. . . is downright exhausting.

Thanksgiving

Emily and Alex were inseperable all weekend. By the way, Nathan's shirt says, "Dear Santa- I was framed".


Mmmmm --- Aunt Wendy's pumpkin pies! I put a slice in the blender with chocolate ice cream-- yum!


Uncle Chris was helpling with Thanksgiving dinner too!


Rolling out the pie crust dough.

This is where I was most of the weekend. Actually, I did make one thing, cranberry salad. Otherwise, everyone else took care of dinner. Thanks everyone!

Emily at the Park

Up until about a week ago, the weather was pretty nice here. Emily missed almost 2 weeks of school in November with an eye infection. She was starting to get really bored at home, so Papa and Grandma Pat took her to the park.

October 2009

Nathan's kindergarden class took a trip to the pumpkin patch and he had a great time feeding the goats.

Daddy and Nathan discussing a math problem at Family Fun Night ("Math" and "Fun" -- do those two words go together?)


Getting ready to go trick-or-treating. (Its Daphne and Scooby Doo, in case you can't tell. I had to explain Emily's costume to a lot of people).


Waiting in line to go inside the Aquarium for trick-or-treating.

September 2009

Well, I finally have some new pics after 3 months. There is a lot to catch up with, but I'll start with Emily's 7th birthday, which was the day after I came home from the hospital.

Me and the kids right after I got home. You can't tell from the picture, but I really was happy to be home!

First Day of Kindergarten and First Grade

I'm so excited to start Kindergarten!!!!


Nathan, get out of my picture!!!


OK, now you can be in the picture. (This looks a lot like last year's first day of school picture. minus the pirate hat)

The Bed and Breakfast where we stayed was called "Anchuca", and was built before the Civil War.

Silver Dollar City

Here are all the cousins at Silver Dollar City a couple of weeks ago. Nathan was afraid to go inside and look out of the bars on the window because of the jailbird manequin in the jail.


We got to meet Bob and Larry after the Veggie Tales show!

Alex's Birthday

Some cute pics of Alex (and a couple of his friends) opening his presents on his birthday, last Saturday.
