School Picture Day

Yesterday was picture day at school. I took this picture of Kendra before she left. We had to practice smiling! :)

Mike's Birthday Party

I decided kind of last minute to have a party for Mike on Sunday. We had soups, veggies and dip, and cinnamon rolls instead of cake. It was a fun time spent with family. And, I realized I didn't take any pictures of Mike at his own party! Not sure how that happened, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't disappointed.

The kids spent a lot of the time playing with Collin's train set.

Snow!

The kids were so excited when they woke up to this on Saturday morning. Collin kept saying "It's Christmas time!" They went out to play for a little bit, but it was cold so they weren't out long.

I got Collin this new stocking hat, but he refused to wear it.

He had to wear the Bley Trucking one instead.

Mike's Birthday

Mike's birthday was Friday. He was helping pick high moisture corn, but it started raining, so he got home around 8:00. I made a cake, and we gave him his present.

The kids were crafting that morning.

I think Collin and Kendra were much more excited than Mike about his birthday. Collin asked all day (Is it Daddy's birthday yet?)

A new mp3 to listen to the audio Bible.

Some new shirt.

Our Week

Here are just a few pictures from our week.

Collin and I got to visit Aaden for a little bit. So sweet!

Kendra helped me clean house.

Collin begged to spend the night at Grandma's house. I said yes, and here he is all ready to go. The only problem is he changed his mind when it came bedtime!

Piano Practice

Kendra started piano lessons this year. She is excited to learn how to play. I took this video of her practicing tonight.

Visiting Baby Aaden

We went to see Renee, Marty and family in the hospital this evening. It was so much fun to get to meet Aaden. He is such a cutie, and we loved getting to hold him!

Grandma with Aaden

Collin liked his soft hair.

Kendra and Maycee held him together.

Kendra didn't want to leave. She loves her newest cousin!
