October - this and that

 Yes, he broke his arm.  Yes, he looks miserable.  No, it has not slowed him down!  Not. One. Bit!  He is still our busy little boy, but now, with a cast!  He will have it on for three weeks (almost one week under our belt).  He's a trooper and I'm sure this isn't the last ER visit we will make with this kid!

Here are the two super heoes on Halloween!  They had a great time and were worn out (along with their parents) by the end of the night! 

They are growing up so fast.  I try to keep a journal of our weekly, if not daily happenings.  I will look at my recent entries and try to post more about these two little monsters later.  Happy Election Day!

94th in Heaven

 

 

Today would have been Grandpa Marvin's 94th birthday.  Although we know he is at peace in Heaven, he is missed every day here on Earth.  I also know that the many memories I have of him and Grandma will last forever in my heart.  Cheers to you, Grandpa!  Happy Birthday!  We love you!

First day of FALL!

 Our soccer champion!

 Thumbs up!

 FIRST GOAL!!!  EVER!!!

 Out on the farm with Uncle Brian and Aunt Megan!

 

 

What a great way to start fall!  Payton had her second soccer game of the season this morning AND SCORED HER VERY FIRST GOALS (TWO) EVER!  She did great and made us very proud!  I think she might be getting the hang of it!  Then, we traveled out to Megan and Brian's farmland to ride the combine.  The kids had a great time enjoying every minute of the open field and fresh air.  One would think that would be enough to ensure a peaceful nap in the afternoon for the kids, but as I write, Mr. K is sitting on my lap.  He took a quick one hour nap and, although still extrememly tired, refusing to go back to sleep.  So rather than fight him (and take the chance of waking his sister) we are up and hanging out!  Can't wait for more fun, fall weather and activities!

Two little munchkins

Aren't they precious? :)  Love these guys!

Just missed The Big "K"

Payton missed the cut-off for Kindergarten age by 2 weeks, so she will have one more year of Pre-K.  She is perfectly content there and we joke that she will soon be the social director of her school!  Today was her first day and she did great!  Here's hoping the rest of the year goes well!

Big #5

Payton turned 5 recently - my how time flies!  We invited Aurora to attend her party - needless to say, she was a hit! :)  CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S FIVE!

Sibling Bonding

They love each other!!! :)
