Family Picture

Our friends took our picture for our Christmas cards the other day. I just thought it would be fun to post them on the blog. Makenna was our little model thinking of all types of different poses!

A new cast for Wyatt

We were at the store the other day and Wyatt's cast fell off! It was kinda funny because he just looked at his arm saying: "oh, oh". He was so amazed at how he could bend his fingers. The rest of the way through the store he kept asking me to kiss his "owie". I had to leave the store and head to the hospital to get another cast put on. This time they put him in a long arm cast so he wouldn't wiggle out of it!

Wyatt's burn

Wyatt was helping Ron make dinner when he decided to put his hand on the griddle!! We took him to the ER and they almost put him in an ambulance to take him to the pediatric burn center! Luckily he calmed down with the pain medication they gave him and we were able to take him home. He's had appointments each week at the burn center. He's been doing the therapy exercises and so far so good. I just hope this isn't a precurser of what's to come with this little guy, I don't know if I can handle any more injuries! It's so sad watching him try to play. He gets so frustrated not being able to pick anything up or feed himself. He can barely stand up on his own between the cast and the burn! Sooooo sad!

Thanksgiving

The girls enjoyed helping Ron stuff the turkey.
Wyatt really enjoyed his M&M's!!!

Wyatt's broken arm/ Kyla's black eye

Wyatt decided to follow the big kids and walk down the stairs instead of slide on his belly. Poor guy ended up fracturing his radius!



Kyla and Makenna decided to play "ghosts" instead of going to sleep one night. They put the covers over thier heads and proceeded to jump on the bed. Kyla ended up hitting her eye on the headboard!

Thanksgiving parade

Makenna got to dress like an Indian and walk in the Thanksgiving parade at school! I had a lot of fun working in her classroom the day that they made the drums.

Great wolf Lodge

Family fun

Ron climbing the rock wall at the gym.

Makenna did a great job climbing!


The girls made yummy turkeys out of apples, marshmallows, red hots, and candy corn.
We went for a walk around this lake at the park.

Halloween

My parents came for Halloween weekend! We got to have lunch at school with Makenna.

Than Kyla and Nanna TRIED to take a nap (I don't think it worked out so well).

Makenna was so excited to have Nanna pick her up at the bus stop.


Kyla is counting each gingham square on Nanna's pants.



Makenna got to have face paint, fake eyelashes, and lip stick!



Wyatt wants ALL the candy!



We ate at a restaurant downtown called La Hacienda De Los Barrios.



Each of the kids got thier hair cut. Thanks mom!

This was Wyatt's first hair cut! We had to give him a lollipop to get him to hold still (it didn't really help much).

Here he is! No more curls!

River visit/ Soccer game

Our camera broke so we've been taking lots of video lately.



We had a great time at the river a couple weekends ago!















This is a long video, but it's funny because in the middle you can see Kyla running the opposite direction of the whole game! Makenna made three goals this game. Kyla chased the ball for a few minutes, put the side cones on her head, and played in the dirt. It was a very productive game!

halloween piano recital

This was Makenna's first piano recital. She had to memorize two pieces. We thought she did a great job!

Fire Station

Kyla and her preschool class went to the fire station for fire prevention week.
