Happy Turkey Day!


We made sugar cookies after dinner! Mr. K loved his turkey the most, I think he spent a good 20 minutes on this masterpiece!

Little Rae loves to use the mixer! She thinks she is the cook!

Decorating with Annie!
(I love Rachael's face in the background, she was really excited about the cookies!)


Cute Baby K!

Sneaking some whipping cream!

We had a great Thanksgiving and I am so grateful that I live so close to most of our family and am able to spend holidays with them!

My favorite things... (well some of them) When daddy is on the computer, he is often visited by three cute kiddos, they all have their spots and often turn a quiet rest into a wrestling match!

Little Rae loves her new baby brother, and flashy necklaces! I love this girl (and her big blue eyes!)

Just checkin' her email!

Lovin' her baby...

Mr. K worked all afternoon to build the ferris wheel, he was so excited that he built it all by himself! I love how he sets a goal and works and works until he is done!

Welcome to our family you sweet little guy! We love you!

Who wants a Snow Cone?

At the beginning of the summer Mr. K desperately wanted to have a lemonade stand on the side of the road. We compromised by having a bakesale! He made a list of people he wanted to invite, what he was going to sale, and how much it was all going to cost. The plan was to do his sale the first week of summer, however June did not cooperate, it rained, and rained, and rained.... So, the last friday of summer I let them do their sale. The kiddos helped me make rice krispie treats and suckers, they made fliers and passed them out to the neighbors, made a cute sign, set up, and waited for customers!

They had most of the neighborhood at their sale, even the power guy
stopped by for a summer treat!
Needless to say they were quite successful, after expenses were paid they each made $15! Paired with K's birthday money and the money he had previously saved he was able to buy Wii Mario Cart all by himself! So fun!

First Day of School

This kid is a first grader! I have very mixed feelings about this new aspect of his life! He loves school and is learning so much... but I miss having him home during the day.

Last year Gavin had a great idea to go to an early breakfast on the first day of school !
I love this tradition so start off a new school year with a breakfast consisting of smiley face pancakes! Happy school year 2010!

Mr. K's 7th Birthday!

This Cute Kiddo wanted a Doughnut birthday cake! We let him pick out a dozen or so doughnuts to share! I love this kid!
His very own CD player so he can jam on his own!

Mr. K wanted to go up the canyon for dinner and to skip rocks, so we loaded everyone up and went out for a fun adventure!


Happy Birthday Max

Today we got a Birthday Card for Max from the Pet Store, we would have had him for 2 years this weekend... he would be 8. Happy Birthday dear friend, we miss you!
