Girls Night Out

This past Saturday, a few of us went to the Miranda Lambert concert in Brookings for a Girls Night Out. It was a lot of fun! Eric Church, who performed before Miranda, was awesome. He has a blend of country/hard rock music. Our seats were awesome as well. We could sit for the majority of the concert and see everything! Watch out Blake Shelton...we're coming back for more in February!

Happy Halloween!

Thank God grandma had a camera! I completely forgot to take pictures of the kids before leaving and so I am using my mom's so you can see what they were! Kyra was a ladybug, Kadence was a witch (a good one though...according to Kadence), and Nick was a Motor-cross dirt bike rider. We went to our usual stops and had so much candy when we returned that it will take nearly a year just to get rid of it before next Halloween!

This is Brady, some good friends' of ours son at his house.

Patiently waiting for grandma to open the door.

We went on a hayride earlier that day as well at our friends, the Jorenby's. We all had a great time. The weather was beautiful. This is John riding next to Nick on the hayride.

This is Lydia the Lion. Isn't she adorable??

Getting ready for Halloween

The two older kids actually wanted to get their hands inside the pumpkin this year. We dug the seeds out, cleaned them off and dried them and then roasted them for a yummy treat! The kids wanted to make their jack-o-lanterns scary this year.

I had so many pumpkins this year that we also painted quite a few outside. Each kid got a few pumpkins to paint. They were pretty colorful (themselves) when they finished, but they had fun!

Happy Hobo Day 2010

Happy Hobo Day 2010! Just waiting for the parade to start...notice the umbrella in the back? There was an older lady who didn't want to "be in the picture". How cute, huh?

Kadence the cheerleader

Kadence wanted me to take some pictures of her doing a few cheer jumps. Here are a few of the pics I took of her.

Kyra....the climber

Kyra is quite adventurous. She has been climbing onto things (pulling her full body weight with her arms) up onto chairs, then onto our kitchen cupboards where she will stand and walk around and open our upper cabinet doors. She is not scared one bit and can get there in just a few seconds. Needless to say, I am VERY scared and have actually turned my chairs on their sides, to which she climbs onto again and gets back up.

Kyra wanting to give herself a "bath" in the kitchen sink.

"Let's see how far I can get up on this before it tips over!"

How Kyra gets up to what she wants.
