Little Indian Girl

Today the Kindergarten students had a Thanksgiving feast. They all had to dress up as an Indian or a Pilgrim. Kelsey really wanted to be an Indian. She was so cute!!

Monkey See, Monkey Do :-)

Maddox is just so cute! He is at that really fun stage where he wants to do everything his brother and sister are doing. I just love watching what he comes up with!

All ready for school!
Maddox came running to me one morning and was pulling on his shirt saying, "Off, Off!" So, I take his shirt off, and he was SO excited. Well, I look over, and Landon had taken his shirt off, so Maddox needed his off too!

West Central Youth Basketball League

A couple of weekends ago, Kelsey started the youth basketball league at school. It was something she really wanted to do, and she is having a lot of fun with it. She is one of 3 girls, and I think she does pretty good!

She got a basketball to keep. She was pretty excited about that, but I think Landon and Maddox were pretty jealous! Maddox tried running onto the court 3 or 4 times the first practice!
They high school girls are helping, and they are pretty much teaching the kids all about basketball.

Loving Our Neighbors

As most of you know, we have moved and now have new neighbors. Let me just say that the kids LOVE having other kids to play with. Don't get me wrong, we definitely miss living by U. Herb and A. Suz, but the kids love playing with Jadyn and Carter. Jadyn was at our house last night for a while, and they played and played and played. Needless to say, my kids were exhausted and slept well! I could get used to this!! :-)

Jadyn teaching Kelsey some cheers
Landon didn't want to do the cheers - he just sat and watched. Can't say I blame him!

Human sandwich!

Maddox had to get in on the action

Happy 4th Birthday Landon!!! (Better late than never!)

October 21st was Landon's 4th birthday. I'm a little late posting this, but we were without the internet for a while after we moved, and I'm just now getting it done! It was a great day! I can't believe how quickly time has gone!


Landon helping make his birthday cake
He had to dress up in his fireman costume:-)

Birthday Boy!

Going to ride in the combine with daddy

Opening presents!!!

He got a fire helmet from grandma and grandpa (my mom and dad)

Landon with his cake. He wanted the exact same cake as last year!

Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you so much!

Trick Or Treat?!

Once again, the kids had so much fun trick or treating this year! Kelsey was a nurse, Landon was a fireman, and Maddox was a cowboy. (He has a hat but wouldn't keep it on! You'll see it in another picture.)
Here he is with his hat - so cute!

Landon was so excited that he got to wear Lance's fire helmet. He wore it for about an hour before it was time to leave, and Lance kept telling him, "Landon, you should take that off until it's time to go - it's going to start hurting." Well, needless to say, once we finally left, it started hurting, and he didn't wear it the rest of the night!! lol

Our neighbors came to see us before they went to town. Here is Kelsey with Jadyn.

My handsome little guys in their matching jammies.....

He is so sweet! He loves to put the foot rest up on this chair and sit in it. Here he is reading his tractor book.

Linsey, Landon, Maddox, and Kelsey playing princes and princesses. They were all dancing together around the living room - it was so cute!

Before and After.....Are You Ready For This?!

Isn't he so handsome???

Francesville Fall Festival

This past weekend was Francesville's Fall Festival. The kids had so much fun (I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed it too!).

The fire department had a ring toss stand, and Kelsey and Landon got to help.
Kelsey and Linsey got to get their faces painted. It was really cute!

Catching candy during the parade.

Maddox enjoyed just sitting on Grandma's lap (for a while until he realized they were throwing candy!)

Landon didn't really want to catch the candy - he just wanted to eat all the candy that everyone else caught!

The fire department had a waterball tournament. It was a lot of fun to watch!

Lance is in the front.

Messy, Messy!!

So, being the smart mother that I am, I let my 16-month-old have chapstick in the car! He was just pretending to put it on, so I thought it was no big deal - wrong!!! I looked back, and he was having a grand old time with it. It was all over his face, hands, and legs, and he was sucking away on it! Oops!

Little Cowboys and Girls :-)

Kayla and Caleb rode their horses to our house the other day, and the kids thought that was pretty cool. They enjoyed riding around our backyard! Thanks for the ride Kayla!

So I'm a Little Late, But Happy Labor Day Anyway!!

I know that Labor Day was a while ago, but I thought I would still post my pictures anyway. I feel like I've been so busy lately, but I don't really know why!


Maddox and Landon's favorite thing to do all weekend was play in Lance's truck! Go figure - we spend money on a campsite when we could have just stayed home and let them play in his truck:-)

Lance and Kelsey getting ready to set up the tent.

Maddox and Karter enjoying a snack - how cute!

Hot dogs - yum!

Right by our campsite was a playground for the kids. Well, Kelsey took Maddox on the curly slide, and he LOVED it - can you tell??

I had to post this picture. Maddox found himself in Lance's bumper and was kissing himself:-)

I don't really know why there is all of this extra space at the end, but I don't really want to redo it!!
