Cookies & Thanksgiving

Katelyn made cookies all by herself the other day. They were yummy! She learned from the best! Then yesterday we had a fabulous feast at The Peters' for Thanksgiving. It was nice to see nana Franz up and around. The kids had a good time goofing off.

Sewing 101

There were two thing the girls wanted to do over vacation: sew and bake. And...we did them both! Here are some pictures of our sewing in action. It was so nice to sit and teach them something I love to do. They are both very bright, and of course, caught on quickly. I think I already know what we will be doing over Christmas vacation!!!

Husky Awards

For the Month of November, Daniel and Katelyn both  received Husky Awards. Daniel was given the Character of the month award for being "Thankful." His teacher said "he always says please and thank you and is always greatful for others helping him." Way to go Daniel!!! Katelyn received a Husy Reader award for improving her reading comprehension scores. Good Job Kate! Love you both and am very proud of you (and Emily too!)

Halloween 2009

Here are some pics from our day!

Hillcrest Farms

Fun at Hillcrest Farms

Last weekend we went to Hillcrest Farms in Reedley to meet some friends, pick out our pumpkins and just play. If you have never been (and you live in the area), what's keeping you? There is so much for the kids to do. They can swing on a giant swing hung from a tree, swing on a tree rope, ride kid size tractors, take a hayride, jump aboard a kid sized train, and sooo much more. It's a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
We met our friends, The Bakers, there and had some time to catch up and hang out. We can't wait for the Christmas season when we can go back and check out the trees and ride the train again. You should try it too!

Spider Lady Visits...

The Spider Lady came to Kinder and the kids got to hold the Tarantulas! How Cool is that?

Super Sports Star Saturday

We had a blast one Saturday, a few weeks back. After soccer, the kids showed off their skateboarding skills, rode bikes, cruised on their scooters, went Big-Wheelin', and drove the  tractor. I tried to get it all in pictures, but Little Miss Katelyn didn't want any part of it! Hmmm...not sure why since she is usually a ham. But, Daniel and Emily were not shy and didn't mind giving me an occasional grin. It's days like these that I sit back and count my blessings. It doesn't get much better than this.
