New Chairs!

Since Ryan and I have been married, we got these chairs from Syndee. They have been great chairs but needed some new fabric! So when we moved to Indiana I talked some great ladies in the ward to help me re-upholster them. It took us about a month, juggling all our schedules and what not, but we finally got them done. A great BIG thanks to Jeanne Richins and Lynette Ault! I couldn't haven't done it with out them. They are amazing women.

I am so excited to have these two done. Just one more but we needed a little break. It's a bigger chair with wings and an ottoman. Look forward to more pics for that one!

Halloween 2

Here's our second post for halloween. Taylor was a cat (again, she wore this last year and wanted to be a black again). Meow!

We had a ward party as well. I'm sure everyone else did as well. This is my primary. We aren't very big but the kids are great. Families each took a room and decorated it and the kids went trick-or-treating to the rooms instead of outside in the parking lot. We also had a bunch of games through out the church. 

Our missionaries: Elder's Wagner and Solomona.

We love these two.

Halloween 2011

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween. It seemed like the whole week before was crazy. Trying to carve pumpkins, school parties, church parties, trick-or-treating. As always, we had fun.

He actually covered his face when I was trying to take pictures. Just more of this little Crew'ser personality.

We made this costume for under 5 bucks. Well,I should say Ryan did. He had his anatomy book out so it's pretty acurate. I quess that's what you get when you have a doctor in the house.

Crew and Adilynn. They love eachother! They both ask for each other everyday. It's so funny when they see each other, they run, while saying the others name, and finally when they've got to one another, they hug like it's been years since they've seen one another. We've arranged their marriage already! haha.

BIG RAT!!???

So it had just started cooling down here in Indiana and I had run to the store to get some treats for our game night, and when I pulled up to our garage I saw what looked like a big rat fly by the back of our garage. Well, the next night the same thing happened to Ryan. This rat was a POSSUM! It was nibbling on some pool toys that had been left out and sleeping in our stroller. Ryan ran inside to get me and I got the camera. I was nervous because they can be mean but this was a little guy and I think it was more scared of us than we were of him.

So I was standing on a stool taking pictures from the top while I opened the stroller and Ryan was standing by the car with a broom.

These little suckers are fast. Once the stroller had unfolded and he posed for a couple pictures, the stroller fell and he was off behind the crib and some boxes that we had out there. They squeeze through anything. We finally got him out and I don't think he has been back. We probably gave him a heart attack. 

Party Time!!

We had a party night just for the adults where we did karaoke and Michael Jackson dancing on the WII. It was such a fun night. We totally let loose(no surprise, when have you ever seen a Marti hold back from dancing! HAHA). We have made such great friends here already. I love them all. We have so much fun together. They have truly made Indiana easy to live here.

Summer 2011

So here is what the Kemp Family did for the remainder of the summer here in Indiana.

Dyer has an annual Corn Roast Festival at the park that is only a few blocks behind our house. So I took the kids. We ate corn, hot dogs, got faces painted, tried the hula hoop,  danced, and climbed up and down the bounce house. It was a lot of fun.

We did a lot of yard work thinking we would get most of it done but we have a big project for our fire pit that has to wait until next year. But, we were out all day, nice day, then it just decided to pour rain. It was still warm so we decided to stay and get sopping wet. 

Our neighborhood does an annual block party. The kids got to decorate their bikes and have a parade down the street. They had set up different activities for them as well with a also a popcorn machine. They had a DJ and the kids loved it. Needless to say, it started raining. 

While I was doing yard work one day, this fat guy jumped right out at me. He had been living behind our loads of weeds. So I caught him and the kids played with him for a while. 

This last picture was just a cute one. We always take random pictures that we really don't ever put in our blog. This one totally captures his personality and how cute he is!! Love spaghetti night!
