Breakfast with Santa 2013

Today we went to a Cowgirl-themed 7th birthday party for one of Kelly's classmates and Girl Scout buddies. The kids had a lot of fun rollicking in her backyard.

Alyssa and Rhys' Shenanigans

Alyssa giving her baby "yum yums" because it fell and got hurt

Rhys riding the ATV with Grampa. Yes, he's wearing a pink Barbie helmet. His head is so big that his helmet no longer fits (honestly it never really did) so we just put Kelly's on him.

Alyssa put her friends down for a nap

This is how Rhys went to school on Tuesday. He found it in his closet and he insisted on wearing it. We compromised with regular clothes underneath.

Work with Daddy

Kelly had the day off on Tuesday for teacher conference day/Election Day so she went to work with Daddy.

Uncle Joe

Joe came to visit the other night while Kelly and I were at our last cheerleading practice so he got to have some time with just Alyssa and Rhys.

Happy Halloween!

Princess Tiana, Doc McStuffins, and Spiderman






Post Trick-or-Treating feasting!



And our Halloween black cat...

Cheerleading

Kelly and I have been very busy for the past several months with cheerleading.  I am the coach it has been a lot of responsibility.  Fortunately our football team is amazing which is certainly fun.  I wish the Washington Redskins were playing as well this season as our U6 Redskins!

Icky Lola

Lola is one of the three cute kitties that we're enjoying. She's the smallest one and a bit of a wild girl. We've been calling her Icky Lola because it's funny and because she's perhaps the least healthy (though doing better already and always in excellent spirits!).

.... and a gratuitous cute Rhys shot!

On Saturday evening we wandered into the local Petsmart for a fun trip to "look at the animals" and ended up leaving with three kittens. They are very sweet and friendly and are adapting beautifully into our family so far.
