HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, KADEN!

We can't believe our prince is 5 years old! My turkey baby celebrated his birthday on Thanksgiving this year (the same day he was born). Monica & Jeff always appreciate a turkey dinner made at home and not from the hospital cafeteria in Alexandria.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Martha Stewart (aka Monk) and Emeril (aka Jesse) hosted Thanksgiving dinner. What a feast!

More Houston Fun

We love Texas - swimming the week before Thanksgiving! Notice Kennedy is sporting a new do - a budding hair stylist (fellow 3 year old classmate) gave her a haircut last week. She had a pretty good mullet - he actually had it even on both sides. This is after a professional touch-up.

KENNEDY'S FIRST HORSE SHOW

We had a great weekend in Houston. Kennedy rode in her first horse show. She was so proud - I'm sure her cheeks hurt today after having a perma-grin all weekend. She rode Sam in a lead line class in Katy. Kennedy even had to answer questions from the judge. She did so well, she earned a blue ribbon! (Okay -all two of the riders went blue). Grannie is pretty excited about this budding equestrian - can you tell?

Kaden's New Do

Kaden finally talked us into letting him get a faux hawk. Dad asked if we're going for piercings and tattoos next. He's had fun with it and has been pretty proud about it. Do you think the other parents at school are cussing us yet?

Pony Party

Happy Birthday to our friend Sophia! We had so much fun!

Kaden's Alaska Presentation

Kaden gave a presentation to his class about our trip to Alaska.

Kinderdance

Kennedy had a small dance recital at school. We were very entertained!

PUMPKIN CARVING

We had quite the night carving pumpkins. An hour into it, all of the parents laughed, "Where are all of the kids and who is doing all of the carving, anyway?" We're ready for Halloween now!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

We celebrated with BBQ in Llano and a pumpkin patch in Marble Falls with the Parent Family. (Don't feel too sorry for Jeff about the birthday plans - he & Mike attended the UT/MU game the night before!) We followed up the busy day with ice cream with the Milonovich family on the way home. Happy Birthday, Dad!
