Trick or Treat 09

Once again it was a cold Halloween only this year we also had a lovely misty rain the entire night! The kids feet were soaked! If you don't already know my kids are scared of dogs so Kendrick Jr. wouldn't go to any houses unless one of us went with him! Daddy took them to the door most of the time. There was only house that was a problem when the dog took off after the kids when they turned to walk away from the door. Because Kendrick Jr. "cut" right out of his shoes Daddy is now thinking running back as a possible position! Poor baby! I ran the other way trying to cut Jr off from running straight into the street. Here are a few pictures below. We went out with our friends and neighbors like we did last year! We are going to pick some candy out of our pumpkins and then take the rest to our dentist to mail to the soldiers.

Pumpkin Carving 09

So last weekend we went to a carving party! Kennedy was really in to it this year and pretty much did her spider on her own. I mapped it out and traced it then she did the cutting! Kendrick Jr. loved scraping out the pumpkins and finding the seeds! They also made a tie tied shirt into a pumpkin face. We had a great time. You can see our finshed products at the bootom- one spider and one pirate ship! They look really cute with the light in them that I bought on clearance last year!

Daisy Scouts

So- Kennedy is a Daisy Scout now! Here are some pictures from her first meeting. Get ready for cookie sales!!!!

Tae Kwon Do

Kennedy has been in Tae Kwon Do for a little over a year now and is blue belt. Here are some pictures and a video of her the day of testing and belt ceremony.

Family Fun Night

A few weeks ago we had a family fun night of bowling, pizza and arcade games! Everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures of Kennedy and Kendrick bowling. Kendrick Jr did a great job cheering everyone on in between bites of pizza. They had these great ramps that he used to help his ball have enough momentum to get the ball down the lane.

Halloween Costumes

We also went to the Halloween store and got the kids costumes between the Pumpkin Patch and Cynthia's birthday. Here they are Monday night trying them on and playing a little bit.

Kennedy is Bumblebee from Transformers. She loves to watch that movie with Daddy.

Kendrick is Iron Man and looks so stinkin' cute in his costume with muscles!

Cynthia's birthday at Monkey Joes

Kennedy's friend had her birthday at Monkey Joe's Sunday afternoon. Her mom did a fantastic job. She also had Areil come - she did face painting, a magic show and balloon animals. This is among the hundred or so people that were in the private room. It was like a family reunion for Cynthia's family. The food they brought in was delicious. Thanks for including us Cynthia!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Last year we started a tradition of going to Berry Patch Farm with Graham and Jasper. We went this weekend and had a great time. It was a lot of fun because this year the boys could walk around and explore too! Here are some pictures from our great outing.

First we checked out the animals.

Then we took pictures on the old tractor they have.This is on the hayride over to the pumpkin patch. The boys loved the tractor.

The tractor let us off in the little field first and then we walked up to the big field of pumpkins.

SO- not so easy to get them to all look at us at the same time! They had a great time climbing all over the pumpkins.
