Pumpkin Carving

Erin Low put together a F.H.E for pumpkin carving and it was a huge success. Kali decided pulling out all the seeds was mom's job. She wouldn't even put her hands in it. A seed accidentally landed on her arm and she was like "eeww." When it came time to carve the pumpkin, she was all over it. She did an excellent job, don't you think!! It is the best pumpkin face I have ever seen.

Halloween Party for the Parents!

Noelle put on an amazing Halloween party at the game room, playing, ping pong, guitar hero, bowling and dance dance revolution (Leah and I are pretty much pro's now.) Watch out Shayne we tear it up:)

Kick Ball Tournament

We took second place at the tournament. It was a full day of games, four to be exact. We had a big barbecue between games which was yummy! It was a fun day complete with sunburned faces, food, fights, scraped up knees and bonding. The kids had fun as well and they were excellent sports as they watched the game, cheered us on, ate all the cookies, climbed trees and ran around the field. They all slept really well that night!

Halloween Party

Kali is sitting so still as Auntie Mary paints her nose for the finishing touch of her Minnie mouse costume. She was so excited to get to finally wear it. At the Halloween party, Kali experienced her first donut ever and she scarfed it down. They were supposed to be trying to bite it off the string without hands but she decided it was to good and that would take too long so she just pulled it right off. She also got to take some swings and the ghost pinata. She has gotten the hang of swinging hard at the pinata's she does a good job. She also got to color a picture and decorate a cupcake.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with the Stimmels, the Boyds and Erin Low. Kali and Ella are enjoying a wagon ride from the cars to the pumpkin patch. Kali, Ella and Eli found a big pile of pumpkins. We got to go on a hay ride and pick out a pumpkin. While we were waiting in line for the hayride Kali was just hanging around!!!:) She is funny, she loves to hang on bars and pull her self up and then when she was done she actually reached for me with one hand while she was still holding on with the other hand. So strong! I am pretty sure her favorite part of the day was getting to ride the horse. She loved it and I am so glad that she did it. I had tried awhile ago to have her go on a horse ride but right as I was putting her on the horse she got scared. Not this time, she loved it. She is like her mommy, I always loved horses growing up and she is really into them right now.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!

Here is a precious picture of Kali holding Wade and Charlene Hills baby boy Brenden. She is practicing for when her little brother comes on March 21, 2008. We are SOOOOOOOO excited for this new addition to our family. Aaron was practically doing back flips in the ultra sound room. Now we have to make half of Kali's room masculine and add some blue colors and sports pictures to the pink princess room.

Family Night Out

So the men were able to make it this weekend on a night out and it was so much fun having them with us. Kali loved it!! She just adores her daddy and always is so concerned about him and what he is doing. We had an amazing dinner at Macaroni Grill, everything was delicious! Even Kali's macaroni and cheese was amazing!! This picture of us at the restaurant makes me laugh so hard, because right as we were leaving I decided we needed to get a picture and our waitress was so busy so Aaron decided to take it and see what we could get. I love how Kali is totally looking and smiling for the picture, I don't usually get the combination together, and how Derek is totally cut out of the picture. Sorry Derek. If you look really hard you can see a slice of his face on the right edge. LOL! I do have to wonder if Aaron did that on purpose? JK:) Kali loves going up and down the escalators at the mall. Hillary and Derek decided to help her down and they all looked so cute. In the other picture Kali is being miss independent and walking the mall by herself. She is already a little shopper, when we go to stores she will look through the clothes and even look at the tags and then hand them to me and I will ask her if this is what she wants and she will nod her head and say, "yes"! It is so cute. Notice the Dora slippers she is wearing, this is an item she picked out her self and decided she needed. I don't know, but I think she is pretty stylish.
