Karson's Cheer Pics

Karson's cheerleading pictures are back. The team she cheers for has made it to the superbowl. It has been a fun season for her.

Pretty in Pink and Homecoming parade

This weekend was the big Homecoming Parade. Karson rode on a float and took her sister along. Kaden and a few of the other football players walked beside the cheerleaders float. He is the number 80. It was a lot of fun. Khale loved the girls cheering and screaming. The loudest float won a prize. I was shocked that it wasn't our group.

Khale looked so cute in this pink outfit I had to share. And last but not least, Khale tastes her first Carmel apple. The apples were super sour but she really liked it. By the time she was finished she was a sticky mess!

Happy Birthday Kaden

Happy Birthday Kaden!!!!!!!

Kaden turned 13 and I almost had a break down. I am now the mother of a teenage boy. That is crazy talk! But he is a great kid so what's not to be happy about? He had a pretty good birthday. He has decided to celebrate with his friends when we get into our new house in November so he had a pretty mellow family birthday. I made him his favorite dinner and a cake. He got the video game he wanted and when he opened the present he threw himself on the ground in a happy fit and took a picture of the game with his cell phone so he could show his friends. His Uncle sent him some money and we had to immediately run to the store and buy the other game he wanted. All in all it was a really fun day. BUT it is still really hard to believe that my precious baby boy is a teenager. When did all that time go by?

Mommy's Birthday

We went to the Pittsburgh Zoo for my birthday and it was a good time to be had by all. The baby just loved seeing all the animals and the other two kids loved seeing the baby. We had so much fun. Afterwards we went to eat at the Cheesecake Factory where Kaden and Kyle bought the biggest burgers I have ever seen. Kyle could eat all of his but Kaden was done in about half way through. Afterwards, the kids played in an water fountain. Khale could not believe we were letting her get soaking wet. But it was raining anyway so we decided, "what the heck." Once she got in, we had to send Kaden in after her because she didn't want to come out! It was a really good birthday. Although I miss extended family and friends to share the time with us.

Kaden's birthday is next but he has decided to celebrate his birthday in November because he wants his friends to be able to come and stay at his new house. So we are holding off for a while. Lucky for us, because this house stuff is really stressful!

Khale's New Outfit

For reasons we can't really explain, Khale loves "Dora". She has been asking for a Dora outfit and one went on sale the other day so I bought it. I had to post a picture of how happy she was to show off her Dora outfit.

Also, Karson has been working for a week on her science project. She had to make a creative, colorful, picutre of Electricity in the Home. It had to show 20 different ways we use electricity in our home. This is a picture of what we came up with.

Hope all is well with everyone. I haven't received a lot of emails lately. Everyone must be busy with activities.

Football Sunday Snuggle

These three really take advantage of football sunday. Here is the latest picture of their restful sunday naps. Can you guess what picture was taken the other day and the one almost like it, taken a year ago? Also, the rest of the family getting caught sleeping on the job. Sleepy heads! Please notice, Mommy never sleeps :)

Karson's friend find

Karson and I did a bunch of yard work this weekend. While we were trimming the hedge out front we had to be extra careful because we found a bunch of friends living in the bushes. Karson had to take pictures and share with everyone because she thought they were wonderful.
