Americanism Program

The kids all had a role to play in the Americanism Program that the school held on November 11 this year. The cub scouts and girl scouts help to present the flag, so they all had to wear their uniforms that day, Bella's kindergarten class led the pledge of allegiance and Brody's class sang a song with a slide show. It is always a moving program and I was glad that I got to go watch my kids be a part of it!

Happy Halloween!

As usual our gang met at my mom's for a quick group picture of most of the cousins before everyone headed out. Brody got to go out on his own this year and made the rounds with his cousins on foot. The rest of the crew came with us as usual and we got to have Jake, Danielle and Landon join us. It was fun to watch them all run around together, Josh had someone to sit in the car with and I had someone to walk with when the kids got in and out of the car... it was a win for everyone!

Pumpkin Carving!

The kids all did their own ideas for their pumpkins this year... They turned out very interesting but they all had a great time carving them and eating the seeds that we roasted from them!

Out takes!

since it was so beautiful this weekend we went out and took some family pictures for our Christmas card this year. We had a bunch that turned out awesome and we had a few not so awesome... Here are a few of the out takes from that day - Josh saw this downed tree and immediately said that we had to take an "awkward" family photo. Of course the kids jumped right in, having no clue! :)

Fire Department Field Trip

It was time for our annual trip to the Sebeka Fire Department, courtesy of ECFE and preschool. The kids absolutely LOVE this field trip and Brody and Beau still refuse to stay home... They want to go too! Braxton is in love with big trucks of all kinds, so he was in his glory getting to hop in and out of the fire trucks!

Wedding!

Last weekend I got to see one of my best buddies walk down the aisle to start a new chapter in her life. It was a beautiful day full of family and friends... and the Kiser clan really cut it up on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG!! Love and happiness to you Rach! :)

Trunk or Treat

We finally made a trek over to Long Prairie to check out the drive in that they have over there. It just so happened that it was the same night as their Trunk or Treat event so the kids got to participate in that as well. It was a lot of fun sitting under the stars and watching the Box Trolls. We will definitely have to do it again! :)
