Nate for Halloween....news about Tyler??

Nate decided to be Uncle Tyler for Halloween.....Uncle Tyler Costume

...but I never knew what Uncle Tyler had hiding underneath......quite a little secret life he has!

Nate's (well Tyler's) Dance Outfit

Not Stopping

The snow is still coming down!

New hiding spot?

Nate found a great place to hide.....and he's close to his favorite thing....milk cup drawer!

SNOW DAY!

First real snow of the season! Kids were a little green...in all that white....Nate lost a boot in the snow and stood there screaming with a bare foot....Kailee got tired after about 40 minutes and was ready for a hot chocolate break...emphasizing the need for marshmallows.....AHHHH...the beginning of winter!

A new trend?

For the 2nd morning in a row...we have gotten out the carpet cleaner before 9am...not a trend I want to start. Yesterday it was raspberry smoothy ...this AM.... more ominous...poop. OUCH! The life of a mom is so glamorous! Hate to guess about tomorrow......

The Great Pumpkin..."Mom this is gross..."

Kailee, Nate and I carved the pumpkin last night....well is started out with enthusiasm anyway....

Kailee has a great plan for your pumpkin's face..."star eyes, diamond nose and a very happy mouth..."
Then we opened her up.....the enthusiasm fades with the first hand full....."it's so slimey and gross"...Nate never did stick his hand in...and Kailee managed to get a few seeds...
Better help than last year.....our finished project looks pretty good though.....maybe it will even last until Halloween!

Visit from Great Friends

Briggs and Kailee playing in the water/sand at Confluence Park.

You know how you have friends who are great...no...I mean wonderful. You can be away from them for a while, but catching up is easy and not akward. They are helpful when they visit, treat your kids just like their own, they are easy to talk too, they know why things are funny when you talk about your family and understand your life......Briggs, Kailee and Nate playing on the ox cart at the Denver Zoo.

The Ganser's were here over the weekend and they are some of those friends for me....Briggs and Kailee...measuring up at Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Mountain Zoo with our cousin

Kailee, Nate and Cousin Isaac went to the Cheyenne Mtn Zoo couple weeks ago.....they had a blast! Little chilly...but the bears did not care!

Kailee cracking us up...cracking out of her "egg".

Isaac and Nate....two peas in a pod?

Fall Festival

All the grandkids....post pumpkin picking!

We went on to a Fall Festival end of Sept with the family....they loved the haystack maze, face painting, petting zoo and balloon bending clowns!

Auntie Shel and Nate feeding the goats

Kailee in the barrel train..being pulled by
the oldest riding lawn mower I have ever seen!

Finally....

I finally get back to posting on the blog....Nate gave up regular naps...about the time my blog posts halted....he is finally taking a nap! YEAH!

We knew Nate would cave to the dressing up...surprised it took this long...:)

Nate and Kailee in there dancing leotards...
Nate in drag...princess drag that is....

Cute Kids

I love these two!

Kailee's First Bike Race

To the victor go the spoils.

Angry Face

Nate has been practicing making faces (happy, sad, etc) almost every
time he's in front of the mirror. This is his Angry face, head down,
brow out, errr.

It's super cute even if this photo makes him look like a large
foreheaded alien.
