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.

 This is a picture of Konner's friend Drue.

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.

The kids bobbing for apples.

Kymbell and I trick or treating .

Kymbell all tuckered out from all the days events.

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.

So Pretty, but Not Her....

These are the words that come out of my girl crazy 5 year old son Konner. Mom Drew is pretty, really pretty, but I'm not going to marry her. Ok, that's fine with me if you don't want to marry her. Hey mom I want to marry another girl. What ever honey it's fine with me. Not thinking he had a girl in mind already. I'm going to marry Brooklyn!!!! What are you talking about Konner? I am going to marry Brooklyn!!!! Does Brooklyn know the two of you are going to get married? Yes, I already told her we are getting married. I guess he thinks girls don't have to say yes.

Yes, Konner and I had this conversation a couple of days ago. He is so funny when it comes to girls. We go to the gym all the time and he goes to there playroom and his goal is to play with girls.

Slurpee!!!

SLURPEE!!! 

The minute we get in the car to leave the gym that is the first word out of everybody's (the kids) mouth. Actually anytime we drive by the 7 eleven we hear that word. Kymbell even knows what they are when Kyle brings them out to the car. She has been able to drink out of a straw for 5 months or more and learned quick that everything is better out of a straw. So these days I get a slurpee and share with her. Lets change that around Kymbell gets a slurpree and I get a couple of drinks while she screams at me to give it back to her.

First Concert...

We had a great time a the food and musical festival Bite of Las Vegas on Saturday. They had it at a huge park with a playground, bounce houses, rock climbing wall, tons of great food, and really good music. We enjoyed music from locals and music from people like Lifehouse, Puddle of Mudd, Metro Station, Secondhand Serenade, Lenka, and Justin Nozuka. Metro Station was probably the kids favorite b/c they love to listen to the song Shake it. It was a great day all together the kids were great with no fussing gripping or fighting. We got there at 2:00 and we different leave there until about 8:30. Over all it was a great time and great entertainment, but we did miss Greyson this weekend and wish he could have been there with us b/c he to enjoys all the groups that were there. Here are a few pictures of us enjoying our day.                                              Konner attempting to climb a rock wall.
                           Kadence and Konner are dancing to Metro Station in these to pictures.
                       Kymbell just being herself and enjoying all the people and the noise.
    Kadence at the end of the night sleeping during Puddle of Mudd. She was really sleepy at the       end of all the days events.

They had a really great play area since the concert was in a giant park. So we had to make a stop there and let the kids run off some energy. 

Halloween

Greyson's school always has a Halloween carnival and I thought it was tonight. I was so wrong it's not until the 24th, but I had them all dressed in their costumes so I took pictures and guess I will go ahead and post them. The girls are in what they are going to be for Halloween, but Konner hasn't got his costume yet. Konner costume is from a couple of years ago I think. Greyson's grandparents came into town so he didn't get to take part in all the confusion that I had going on today. Kadence is a cute witch and Kymbell is Raggedy Ann they turned out to be so cute in their costumes.
