October update

Wow...I have to d ocument what is going on in our house right now. The kids requested waffles for breakfast this am. We had a fun breakfast, and then I asked them to play nicely while I cleaned up. They have been playing together for over an hour!!!!

Here are some pics from the local fair that came to town.

Uncle Howard entertaining the kids...telling jokes

Cute curls!

Kyle dressed himself for church....notice the pant leg in the socks!

Kyle has been asking to take the training wheels off of his bike for quite a while now. We finally had a chance to try it as a family. Dave used his tools to take the training wheels off....we padded Kyle up and went to the parking lot up the street. I ran along side Kyle for about 2o feet...and then he just took off! Like he had done it his whole life! He could stop, turn and wave without falling!

(yes, he needs a new bike helmet....outgrew his old one...baseball helmet did just fine for the day)

Proud Daddy!

Elizabeth was a great cheer leader...and gave Kyle lots of hugs!

Fundraiser walk, Dorney park and the Aquarium

I took the kids to walk with me for a fundraiser. It was for a very special girl and her family whom I have known for quite a while now. Although I don't see them very often, she will always be close to my heart! Her family is one of a kind and I am lucky to know them! It was a good experience for the kids to be a part of. I think Kyle actually understood why we were there....and to top it off...we got to go INSIDE a baseball stadium. He was so excited to pretend he was really playing!

They had a kids comedian after the walk. To warm up the crowd...he asked for jokes from the kids. To my suprise, Kyle raised his hand and told a joke! "What do you get when you cross a chicken and a crocodile?...a crock a doodle do!"

We have been REALLY enjoying the kids lately. Dave has had a little more free time, and we have had a great time doing fun family things! The kids are at such a great age to have fun and explore with them. Dave's sister, Stephanie and her daughter, Kiera got us into Dorney park cheaply with their anual membership. We enjoyed the day with great weather!

A cute picture!

Elizabeth's best friend is Jill, "Jill Jill" as Elizabeth would say. Her older sister, Ali is in Kyle's class at school. We all went to the aquarium this week for a great time. The kids had a blast touching the water creatures, playing, snacking, and then playing in the water fountain in the warmer weather. It was fun to watch them all together, and hang out with Wendy!!!

Kyle and Ali posed for these "prom like" pictures without us even prompting them! So funny..and cute!
