Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was great! We woke up and Pete and the kids relaxed while I started making homemade rolls. Jaiden helped out. We had breakfast burritos then showered and got ready. After we were ready we took a family bike ride around the neighborhood (The boys absolute favorite thing to do these days). I love the quality family time it creates. Then it was off to Grannys house for some Prime Rib kind of Thanksgiving. Even Rex had his fair share. We spent the afternoon relaxing and playing some wii. It was a perfect Thanksgiving Day with lots of time to realize the MANY MANY things I have in my life to be Thankful for.

Messy with the Leftovers

Thanksgiving we ate Prime Rib. The next day with leftovers we made steak quesadillas for lunch. Kadence we cranky. I was holding her while I ate and then plopped her on the table. She was keeping herself entertained with the sour cream so I didnt stop her... heres the mess she made ;) Some times its worth the waste to have some peace and quite!! haha

Santas Workshop

Bass Pros Shops does a Santas Wokrshop every year and we have never gone. Saturday we decided to take the kids. They have lots of their toys on display for the kids to play with, Coloring Tables ( which of course are Rylans favorite) and Free Pictures with Santa.. although we werent dressed for that, so we didnt do it. The kids had fun and it was nice having fun for free and out of the cold.





By the fish tank there was an worker displaying wich bait the fish like. he would send it in with no hook and we could watch which ones caught the fishes attention the best. It was pretty cool to watch.

Kade 1st Haircut

Kadence got her first haircut at 18 months. 11/17/2010. Celestial had asked me when I was going to have it cut. Id thought about it a little, but not too serious. Then she mentioned an A-line! I thought about it for about 2 weeks but couldnt quite convince Pete. I needed my hair done and told Pete that Leshal was doing Kadence that night also. He was hesitant but let us :) He just wanted to make sure it wasnt to short for a pony tail because thats his favorite on her. So we agreed and Leshal started cutting. She knew Pete wasnt keen on the idea so she just started cutting and when I mentioned A-Line she got a big smile. She didnt realize he ok'd that. We couldnt go to short in the back because we had to keep her pony, but I think it turned out adorable!

And it still will fit in a pony :)

Arion 6th Birthday

We went to the boys friend Arions 6th Birthday! Rylan was soo excited because he "Think she looks cute" :) haha. Rylan wanted to be by her practically the whole time and she didnt seem to mind. The boys had fun bowling and Kadence liked watching and eating her chips. I want to start taking hte boys more often.. its fun watching them. And even though I suck.. its the only thing I can beat Pete at :) but im not competetive, I just like giving him a hard time!



Heres Rylan and Arion.. isnt she a cutie..
I laughted when Pete showed me this picture.. they look like siblings almost.

Last Fall Soccer Game

Last Saturday was the Power Rangers (Rangers) last soccer game.. and we are glad..it was dang cold!! We bundled up in blankets but it was sprinkling and windy. Exactly why we dont do Winter soccer!! Anyways the boys im sure will be sad but there already signed up with the same team for Spring! There team is UNDEFEATED! I didnt even realize it because most the time I dont keep score. I watch Kadence and am a little distracted. I just keep track or my kids goals mostly, but SOO exciting for them! The boys got there soccer picture plaques!

Sanders Thanksgiving

Friday night was the Dulaney Thanksgiving Party> I missed it Because of Softball

Saturday night was the Sanders Party, Thankfully I made it to that one.



The food was yummy. Company even better. And the kids, as usual had a blast. The big boys even ordered the fight to end the night right :) It was a fun night!




I made this pie but Pete did the top... Pretty Impressive Right?




Kadence and the little ones had fun taking rides on this lttiel garage stool thing :)


The boys had soo much fun letting Matix beat them up.. It was hillarious watching him punch them and they would fly back.. Too cute!

Jai got it in the wrong spot here though :)


Happy Thanksgiving!!

Last Skate Night with The Carters

Soo like Ive said Wendys family is moving so were squeezing in all the time together we can. Plus we love skate night. Unfortunately we wont know exactly when they are and half the fun is going with them. So well take the kids here and there.. just not monthly. Her was last night.. Out last Sakte night with The Cousins!! :(




Umm... WHO taught my kid to pose like a little thug? Really though? Hes must be hanging out with some at school becuase when he dances.. it aint white boy dancing (Pointed out by my sister) and now he throws some gang signs and waves them whiles he dancing.. were working on that one :( NOT GOOD!


Ry Guy did the limbo.. made it under just fine and then skated off instead of getting back in line. He was soo proud of himself though. Here hes waiting for Jai to go through

Jaidens 2nd time through he barely hit it.

Rylan races in the 9 and under.. by the time they started there were 2x's as many kids and he wasnt last.. btu he was the littlest. There were atleast 5 kids behind him, plus he fell!

1st Day of Nursery

Kadence was sick her first Sunday of turning 18 months. So Last week was her first day of nursery. I did not expect it to go well because Kadence will do well with certain people. She has to be very comfortable with someone for her to not throw huge fits. So I figured this wouldnt go great but maybe all the kids and toys would distract her... UMMM NO! I snuck out and went to Sunay school and about as fast as I sat down I was back up again. They came and said she was throwing a huge fit and boogers down her face.. the works. So I went back, played and thried to distract. One other dad was doing the same for his 3rd week and would sneak out and stand outside the door and if hes kid threw a fit he be back in .. I though, Ok thats what Ill do, wait and see how she does. AGAIN...NO. So I wound up in nursery for the full 2hours. But im not complaining. I had fun and enjoyed it. Hopefully over the next few weeks shell get comfortable but im not holding my breath. So heres her first day pictures.







And one of the boys, just because.

Teething

Kadence has been a really great teether. She doesnt drool AT ALL though. Shes had her fevers and diahrea like normal, but then this past 2 teeth have been killer. Her two top (Vampire ??) teeth have been breaking through. Halloween we thought she was sick but for the two weeks following on and off she would randomly throw up. Weird?? I looked online and found out that not many but some kids do thorw up during teething. Needless to say she was pretty miserable and we just felt bad for our little girl. She did get lots of spoiling and cuddle time. Even slept in moms bed while dad got booted, dont worry, he offered it up. Just in case she threw up during the night...which she did. I was thrown up on a few times and out in public. Thankfully those teeth have broken through and the throwing up had passed. Heres some pictures of this rough transition.





This particular night we went to check on her about an 30 min after putting her to bed. She had thrown up and fallen abck to sleep. We of course needed to bathe her but she was just exhausted so she slept through it all. I had to catch pictures.


I stayed home from work for 2 days to spoil her and due to the throwing up. We took Rex for a walk and she helped out by holding the leash :)

I LOVED waking up to this cuteness! Even if she threw up all over my pillow
