The Great catch-up,,,,

NELLIS AIRFORCE BASE:

We have been super busy these past few weeks. We took the kids to aviation nation at nellis air force base here in Las Vegas. We are the home of the thunderbirds and they put on a great show. It was a little cool and it rained on us at the very end, but all in all the kids (especially Kadence) had a great time. I think Kyle got some really good pictures of

 some planes flying that I can blow up and put in the boys room.

                                                                                      POLAR EXPRESS:

I was so excited when one of my friends told me about the Grand Canyon Railway. Every year they turn the train station into the polar express with Santa Claus. You get in the train and they give everybody hot chocolate and cookies just like the movie and then they read the story to you. They tell the kids that they are going through a time warp to the north pole. After a few minutes you start to see lights and then you see and Elf, Santa and his sleigh with the reindeer. All you here are the kids and sound of excitement and then we turn around to go back by and Santa was gone. After a few minutes they tell the kids Santa is on the train with us and will come back to see them. We had a great time minus me thinking it was closer to us than it really was and forgetting about the time change. Whoops!!! I had to call and change our reservation from 6:30 train to the 8:00 train. All the kids got a silver bell from Santa. The kids even wore their pajamas just like the movie.

As for me putting up my tree the day after Christmas well I can not do that b/c I put it up Nov. 1st. I had to try and get the kids in a Christmas mood before we went on the Polar Express plus I hadn't seen my tree before Kyle bought it for me last year. I have to say that it is very pretty and pre-lite . I still have lots of decorating to do outside, but I will do it tomorrow if it doesn't rain again.

These two girls are so funny when they are together and playing. Kymbell always has to try everything Kadence does or tries to copy her. Kadence loves to put black olives on her fingers and eat them off, but Kymbell saw her do this and had to join in. She still is the best when it comes to patience with everything and is such a wonderful little girl. We are so lucky that she has pretty much slept through the night since she was a week old and is just easy going.

Miss Kymbell had finally got the art of walking down, but would rather crawl quite a bit still. She will walk if she is not in a hurry to get somewhere or something and she can take her time getting there. I took all the kids to get the flu shot and whatever other shots they needed that day and I was so proud of all of them b/c nobody cried. None of them not a whimper or a whine. Kadence and Kymbell are still in the 95% for weight and height. She has at least 8 teeth that I could see the other day and I think more coming. I can't believe how big Kymbell is already. She has really cute curly hair, but it is so blonde that you can't even see it in the pictures. I have lots to post about we have done some really fun things the past two weeks so I have a lot to catch up on.

Perfect day at the park

The kids had a wonderful day at the park Saturday. We went and picked Drue up from her house so Konner and her could play together and everybody could run some energy off since the time change always messes our kids schedule up. It was a very nice day and not to hot.

   These are the rolling hills of the teletubbies show.

Halloween

We had a really fun time this Halloween with our friends Dina, Chad and their kids. They rented a bounce house and the kids just ran around crazy through the whole house. Then we went trick or treating in their neighborhood and then went back and handed out candy. The kids were so cute in the costumes Kadence was a  good witch with gray hair and purple eyelashes, Kymbell was Raggedy Ann with cute red circles on her cheeks and drawn on black eyelashes, Konner and Greyson were vampires with black hair and painted face with fake blood. They did really great all day long and they were wore out by the time we left their house. Kymbell was so tired that she fell asleep during trick or treating and stayed that way the rest of the night.

Halloween and a Ghost Town

The Ghost Town of Calico, California sets the mining town up as a Halloween ghost town with a haunted house and decor. We went with Mrs. Dina that is Konner's teacher and her family. He and Drue had a great time running around and playing. They also have two other kids Madi and Eric which they are great also. Madi is super with Kadence and Kymbell  and keeping them happy and occupied. We went the weekend before Halloween.
