We made a trip to Midland a few weeks ago to visit Chris, Alanna, and the kids. It was a fast trip, but so worth it!!! We were able to see Rachel cheer. IT WAS FREEZING!!!

Rachel did an excellent job!!!
I'm not really sure what she was trying to show me...but I love her face...so much excitement!!

A great profile shot...so serious!!

Did I mention, it was freezing?!? What you see here is Grandma's attempt to keep warm!!

This was Goose's attempt to make me look like Grandma...thus keeping me warm!!

Miles decided to take a rest next to Granddad.
I'm not really sure why Miles has that look on his face.
How sweet!! A quick hug between cousins!!

Between Alanna and I we were able to get some GREAT Daddy/Son moments...

Such a good Daddy...making sure Miles stays warm!!

Miles LOVES his Daddy!!!

This is my Favorite!!!

Halloween 2009

We don't ever do much on Halloween, but I do love to dress my kids up! I worked several days on Raggedy Ann & Andy outfits, but I didn't realize how much work that would take...so that will be next year!

This year Tinkerbell and Miles the Dairy farmer and I loaded up in the car and headed out to see family and friends...

They were so excited...they knew the candy was coming!!! I love that Miles already has the "Farmer's gut"!!!

Miles wanted to show off his favorite cow Annabell!! We left the rest of the herd at home...I knew who would be carrying them before the night was over.

Grandnanna was ready for them...I actually had to tell them to STOP putting candy in their sacks...Grandnanna wasn't about to tell them!

For the last three years after we go see family. We head over to the Zalman's and trick or treat the five houses on their block. It is really sweet...they are all older couples and they look forward to the kids every year.
Zanye...look this way buddy!!!

Lord help us...we've lost them all now!!

Thomas the train...Miles the Dairy Farmer...Lt. Zalman...Tinkerbell

Trick or Treat...give me something good to eat...PLEEEEEASE!!!

I wish I knew what she thought was so funny!

After filling our sacks with candy we played at the Zalman's for a while...It wasn't long before Tinkerbell started transforming into Frankenstein...and Thomas decided to be a Cowboy!

The kids had a great time!!!
