Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for Our blessings all year through, For family we dearly love, For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days, For stars that glow at night, For trees of green and skies of blue, And puffy clouds of white.

We’re grateful for our eyes that see, The beauty all around, For arms to hug, and legs to walk, And ears to hear each sound.

The list of all we’re grateful forWould fill a great big book; Our thankful hearts find new delights Everywhere we look!
By Joanna Fuchs

Here are some family pictures taken at Black Studios last night. We had a great time and they did a great job!

Halloween!

Here is my little sniper. His little saying for the night was "I'm not freaky... I'm sneaky"! He would run and do a rolling dive through yards, it was pretty funny to watch. I would have taken more pictures but my batteries died after a few shots. :(

And here is my little Angel!

Happy 10th Birthday Kaiden!!!!

Kaiden's birthday is on the 17th, which is on Wed! It is hard to believe that my baby is already 10 and in the 4th grade!!!! Here are some pics of Kaiden's party with his friends we had a couple weeks ago.

Another awesome cake from DQ!

Kaiden wanted to have a bunch of munchies, so we had typical things that you would find at a Super Bowl party.

The boys on the bus ride to the movie theater.

At the theater... We went to "Game Plan"

Then at home for the sleep over, they watched movies!

Party Like A Rock Star!

Our local DQ did the cake... They do the best job ever! I just dropped off the invite with some of the things from the party and gave her complete creative reign to do what ever she wanted and this is what she came up with!! I just LOVE it!!!!!

Look at my little "Rock Star", I am sure she will love this picture in a few years!

We had Dancing!

and Singing!

Her pajamas said "Pajama Party Gone WILD!", which was pretty true!

The girls all loved Karsyn's kitty Angel

and by the end they were all wiped out!

Preparing for Karsyn's ROCK STAR birthday party!

We are having Karsyn's Birthday party this Sat night. Her actual birthday was on Sept 11th, but she wanted to have a sleep over, so this is the first day that worked out. We invited 13 girls total. She wanted a rock star theme, so they are going to play DDR Dance Dance Revelation, and Sing Star. I think I have more fun planing the party as the girls do at the party. I will update pics some time next week.

Here is a copy of the invite (concert ticket)

And everyone has gotta have a back stage pass to wear!

A Few Updates

Here are some pics from Kaiden's 1st Football Game of the season. It was very cold and wet, but it was fun to watch him in action!

Kaiden is the one on the far right!

After the game.

Mike's Mom Lori toughing it out in the cold rainy weather!

Karsyn and her friend Raelyn Shopping at the mall.

Weekend at the Lake!

Karsyn and Cheyanne had a great time playing in the mud!

Really, who needs an expensive mud treatment at the spa when you have lake mud!!!

Kaiden reading to Kale... He is so dang cute!

First Day of School

The kids were so excited to meet their teachers and see their friends!

Here are some pics of their open house with their teachers:

Both teachers are new to our school, but we are so excited that the kids are in their class rooms. We are excited for what the school year will bring!

Here is a pic from this morning (On the official first day)

We had a chance to meet the teacher yesterday and see where the kids seats were. Kaiden was happy he got to pick his seat and choose back row next to his buddy Tanner. Karsyn was excited to be in the front row... 2 desks from her friend Raelyn. She is also right next to another friends little guy Alex! Both teachers seemed soooo nice, it made me smile all the way home!

Lots to catch up with!!

First one of my good friends just moved to Salt Lake City, so I met her in Sioux falls on her way out. Here are some pics before she headed down the road:

Tammy, we are going to miss you and Aidan very much! But we are also very excited for you guys, and know the transition will be very smooth!!!

Mike left Sunday to fish a tourny in Devil's Lake ND, they didn't have very good luck, which meant that he came home early (which was exciting for me that he was home, but felt bad that they didn't do so well). Here are a couple pics from that trip.
