Fun at Mickey D's

After a few visits with failed attempts to get together...mainly my fault, I finally found Julie Lowe Barb! Julie and I were born in the same hospital in Provo, UT only 3 days apart...so we figured we were in the nursery together! It was really fun to see her and her two sets of twins. She really is my hero! Although she claims she isn't, she is a much better mom than me and truly inspires me! While we were eating Kristin Quinn Ellis walked to play with her two kids...so we had a double treat! It was fun to catch up on things...now only if we get back to Michigan!

Our 2nd week in Michigan

This past weekend we spent time with our long lost friends Julie and Aaron and their family and Alicia and Steve happened to be there. We had never met their little girl...who is a real cutie by the way! The boys loved playing together and they always go right to playing as if we never left Michigan. I wish I could find friends like them in Kansas or better yet...I wish they would move near us! Sunday afternoon we went to Grandma's and Grandpa's house. Hope you enjoy these pictures Aaron, we really wish you could be with us!

Best buds!

Finally one of him not being silly!

Sadie gets to come home at Christmas! We can't wait!

I forgot...

I was going through the pictures on my camera and I forgot these. They were taken the weekend before we left for Michigan. Notice the boys are in short! Here are Josh's best friends who live near us. By the way they play guns in the backyard all day...I think it's a boy thing.

Our first few days in Michigan!

After a long 45 day countdown we finally made it to Michigan! The airplane trip was a lot better this time since Kylie had her tubes put in. We love being with family but we are also really missing daddy! So most of these pictures are for him.

Kylie loves being at grandma's house

Halloween 2008

This morning I was woken up at 6:30 am by Josh who said, "I know what day it is!". It was like that ALL day. I tried to focus the excitement into cleaning his room but that took 2 hours...and it wasn't that messy! At least he stayed there on and off. We carved pumpkins just in time and Aaron came home as I was getting the costumes together to put on...way to go dad! The kids loved getting candy, what kid doesn't. Josh was really into it and ran to almost every door while Kylie figured the whole thing out after 2 houses. She was really cute saying "tant you" and "bye bye".

Dumping the bag...this much candy is too heavy for Josh to carry ;)

Carving pumpins

We were a little late carving pumpkins this year but did it just in time for trick or treating. We were literally carving the pumpkins an hour before we left. The kids had fun but the adults did most of the work...of course. We missed Aaron carving with us this year...he was driving his long drive from Emporia but did make it for trick or treating...Yeah!

When does Ky not stick out her tongue?

This turned into a Batman pumpkin...of course!

Pre-k Halloween Party

On Tuesday October 27th Josh had his school halloween party. He of course was dressed as his favorite super hero of all time....BATMAN! Thanks Mimi for the costume. He wanted to be the black batman. He of course had throw in purple somewhere since it's his favorite color and his hair worked out the best.

Yummy Krispy Kreme...

His best friend Ben, whose dad is the real sheriff of Shawnee by the way...

The very overexcited class...
