I sense a disturbance in the force!

Kesa decided it would be fun to make Kaleb into a train. As you can see from his face it is a bright blue just like Thomas The Tank Engine. The most disturbing part was the nail polish on his fingers. Yikes!

ETA: Actually the most painful part was attempting to remove the caked on gunk from places on his face that little boys don't like scrubbed with soap and washcloths...yes washclothS. It took 2 of them to get all of it off. I told Kesa to please NEVER do that again.

At least we have memories.



Kaleb doesn't watch t.v. like a normal kid. He has a unique style all his own.

Kaleb displays the chocolate monster in all of us

The girls new hair cuts

Kesa has been wanting to do Locks for Love for quite some time now, so one afternoon I decided to take all four kids to get there hair cut. Here is their experience.


Kesa looked a little apprehensive at the beginning


When the lady started cutting I started to panic


Here is the 10 inches of hair that was cut off


Kesa getting her hair washed


A smiling and very happy Kesa after it was all done. She couldn't stop flipping it around and being amazed that it still looked the same after being messed up a bit.

Kassie and her very long hair

Kassie didn't want to go as short as Kesa so she didn't do Locks for Love.
Here is the final look after her cut.

Our new furniture

We were very blessed this year so we thought we would treat ourselves to some new furniture. We bought a beautiful brown couch, two oversized lazy boy recliners and some art work for the wall. Oh, and we also bought three bookshelves for the dining room that is no longer a dining room. We'll show those pictures when we actually put the shelves together.

Kesa's Show Choir Performance

It's been awhile since we've updated our blog so bare with us as we backtrack to November.

Kesa made show choir this year and has enjoyed it immensely! Here she is in her pink poodle skirt twirling her hair and singing 50's music.



Isn't she cute!



The good thing about show choir is dancing with a boy. :)
Here she is with her partner Jacob Pfifer

Happy Halloween

Who says trick or treating is just for the kids. Our crazy family, plus LeAnna and Austin, getting ready for the big night.

Who says I have to act my age.


Kesa and I decided to dress up the same this year. We tried to talk Kassie into it but she decided on something else.





Kaleb our little purple dragon......and no he's not Barney!

Kaden our Ninja Warrior

SUPER BOWL 41 1/2

Today was the day that the Patriots versed the Colts. For those who don't know, Jim and LeAnna are HUGE Patriot fans!!!!! As you can tell they have coeursed their son, Austin, and our two girls into becoming Patriot fans also.




This picture was taken at the beginning of the game. Notice they are smiling.



The smiles are gone....could that be a look of concern?


"Come on!" shouts LeAnna. "The refs are making horrible calls."


I guess this is Kesa pretending to be concerned.


After all the concern and bad calls made by the refs, the family was able to enjoy a victory dance. Notice Mark and I didn't join in.....we were rooting for Manning's team.



YAHOO!



Austin showing his excitement for the win.
