Christmas

We had a very fun-filled Christmas this year again in Cleveland, but this year we will be celebrating in a new house in Lima Ohio! Excited to move onto the next phase!

Christmas morning: McKartny decided the most comfy place for a snooze was on her new kitchen
Kylan with her new barn & Breyer horses, now she wants saddles & riders to go with them!

Kurt with his new belt & buckle! "I shoulda been a cowboy" fits him perfectly!



Showin' off new jammies on Christmas Eve

Kylan's preschool had a cute little party & the kids put on a little program & sang songs, it was really cute. McKartny was deathly afraid to sit on Santa's lap so this was as close as we got!

Texas Thanksgiving

I'm 0nly 2 months late on this post! As mentioned before we drove to Texas over Thanksgiving weekend for my sisters wedding & had a couple of days to play! It was our 1st Thanksgiving with family in 3 years so it was heaven to say the least!

Kylan & Presley at my brother-in-law Brian's cuttin'

Watching the Longhorns being driven down Old Downtown Fort Worth

Enjoying the carousel at the Old Stockyards in Fort Worth

Kurt & I enjoyed some time WITHOUT the kids & went with some of my family to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, it's where John F. Kennedy was shot. You can see the window in the pic below where Lee Harvey Oswald shot from, 2nd from top.

There were "x's" on the street where he was when each shot hit him

Kurt & I on the "Grassy Knoll"

Very fascinating!

We had alot of fun even though it was a short trip & look forward to going back in May!!

Emma's Wedding

My littlest sister Emma got married the day after Thanksgiving in the Dallas Temple. We were lucky enough to be able to make the 17 hour drive down to be with family for Thanksgiving & the wedding! The drive honestly was not that bad, if you ask me, Kurt would say otherwise. It was so much fun to be able to be with everyone & finally spend a Thanksgiving with family after 3 years!

Kylan showing off her amazing dance moves!
There was a guy making balloon animals for the kids at the reception & this is what Kurt requested, no idea, don't ask!

Granddaughters: Kate, Kensey, Briley, Presley, Kylan, McKartny

Not sure what McKartny's deal was!

Emma's nieces & Nate's niece & nephew

We were so glad we got to be there with Emma & Nate, we loved every minute of it!

Fall 2010

Catch up time! There are a few random pictures from the Fall I wanted to post event though Winter is now in full swing!

Kylan's preschool had a Thanksgiving feast and they got to dress up as Pilgrims or Indians and have lots of good food, very cute!


Fishing with Dad, unfortunately we got there a day late & most of the fish were gone, but she still had a good time

We found a new park to explore on one of our last nice days, it was beautiful!

Halloween

Another Halloween come & gone, it was a fun October with school & ward parties, pumpkins & Caramel apples!
Kurt's is on the left, mine on the right. The girls decided to paint their pumpkins pink & red this year

At Kylan's school party she got picked by the magician to be a helper on stage, I guess that's the perks of having an original costume!

About mid-summer Kurt introduced Kylan to the Batman cartoons & Kylan decided she wanted to be Poison Ivy, I was hoping the idea wouldn't last but it stuck & so this is what we came up with! Her hair looks hot pink in the pics but it was really blood red, pretty cute!

Can't have Poison Ivy without BatGirl! McKartny was sooooo excited when she saw her costume & still wants to wear it everyday!
