Visitors and Thanksgiving

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. They came for Emily's baptism and Thanksgiving. We had so much fun! For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of people over. It was so much fun. We did a lot of fun things with grandma and grandpa. We went and saw Bolt in 3D and Madagascar. We also went four- wheeling and on bike rides. Dad got to shop at Walmart almost everyday! (I think he loved that!) We had so much fun with them. We hope they come back soon! Here's just a few of the pictures from their visit.

Visiting Santa!

Santa was visiting at Bass Pro Shop so we took the kids and went! It was before Thanksgiving (which, I know, is against all the rules) and we went anyway. There was hardly anybody there and all of the activites were free! It was fabulous. The kids had a great time and I could relax because there was no crowd. They each sat on Santa's lap and told them their Christmas wishes. Emily- American girl doll --- Austin- bac ku gon --- Owen- kung fu pandan movie --- Aaron- well a clean diaper, food and a warm bed. It was a great evening for the whole family.

Halloween

More catch up! Here is Halloween. We had Ariel, Indian Jones, Yoda and a frog. The kids had a great time trick-or-treating and trunk-or-treating. They were so cute. Austin made up his own costume with things from around the house. I was so proud of him. He got cowboy boots, an old purse for his bag, an old hat of Casey's and a belt for a whip. He was adorable and got a lot of compliment on his costumes. We also went to the pumpkin patch, went on a hay ride, and carved our pumpkins. We had a great Halloween!

Emily's 8th Birthday!

Okay, I am catching up! This is Emily's birthday... it was in October. Here she is. I can't believe that she turned 8! It seems impossible that I have an 8 year old but it's true! She got shoes and clothes.

She had a really fun birthday party with lots of friends. She had a pumpkin themed party with "blood" juice, donut hang, bobbing for apples, and a mummy wrap.

She is a sweet little girl and we love her tons. Happy Birthday!
