Field trip!

Yesterday I was able to help with the Kindergarten's field trip to the Fire Station & McDonalds. It worked out that Makinlee had preschool so I was able to have some time with just Bode. I think I have said before that I'm not sure where we got him because neither Chris or I are half as outgoing as he is. When we got to the Fire Station one of the firemen asked the kids 'who wants to be a fireman when they grow up' and of course a bunch of them raise their hands and scream ME, then he asks 'who wants to be a ballerina when they grow up' and some of the girls raise their hand and here comes Bode doing a ballerina walk in front of everyone saying 'I do' in a bit of a girly voice. I'm sure my face turned red as everyone else started cracking up.

Anywho! I took a few pics of our little field trip. Here's me and Bode on the bus.

Oops! Cut off Bode's chin!

Let's try again! Now my hair fell in my face. Oh well, I tried!

Bode in front of the fire truck.

And here is Bode in the truck.

After we left the Fire Station we went to McDonalds and had a tour of the kitchen. After touring the kitchen the kids got a 'tiny' ice cream cone and got to play on the playground for a while. It was a fun little outing with my Bode. :)

Jumpin Jacks

Chris is home for a little while so we wanted to go do something fun with the kids. We ended up taking them to Jumpin Jacks. Best place for kids for sure, it's a bunch of bounce houses and slides. They had a blast running around, jumping and sliding. At one point they turned some of the lights out and turned on some disco lights and music so of course the kids started busting a move. Take a look! hahaha!

The Worm!

Here's Kobe doing the worm!

Dance Off - Bode vs. High School Kid

Bode was showing off some more of his moves and had an audience of high school kids. Pretty soon one of the boys starts trying some of Bode's moves. LOL! Take a look!

Twelve wonderful years!

November 6th was a special day for Chris and I, it was our twelve year anniversary. :)

We weren't able to do anything wonderful since Chris was working out of town and I was here at home, but he did send me a dozen beautiful roses.

Aren't they gorgeous?

Here's another pic!
Of the twelve years we have been married, the past couple of years have shown us just how strong our marriage is. We are so blessed to have each other to get through the rough times together.

I love you Chris!

Belt Promotion!

The kids had belt promotion last Saturday. Mylee and Kobe received their brown belts and Bode received his blue belt. Here is a video clip from that night. Mylee and Kobe are in the back and Bode is in the front.

Bode waiting for it to start. Peace is his new thing that he has to do for pictures.

Kobe and Mylee waiting.

Me and the kids! Chris was working out of town so he missed all the fun. :(

I don't know if you noticed, but this was the only picture Bode didn't do peace. lol!

Congratulations kids! We love you and are so proud of you!

Our Busy October!

The kids had Red Ribbon Week at school and of course they had a crazy hair day. The boys wanted their hair to look like Wolverine so I did my best. Mylee just wanted something 'crazy' so we put a small paper cup on the top of her head and pulled her hair up over it. I'd say it looked pretty crazy. At dance that night a highschool kid that was at the studio asked someone what was wrong with her head, haha!

The kids cleaned out their own pumpkins and drew the faces for Chris to carve. I'm not sure why she made this face in the picture because she didn't have a problem pulling the seeds and stuff out. She actually was having fun doing it.

Bode!

Kobe!

Now Mylee on the other hand was being a whimp!

And here are their masterpieces!

Mylee's, Kobe's, Bode's, Makinlee's (don't you love the suckers for ears, haha)

Just a cute pic of my little stinker. We were going to the school to see the other kids in there Halloween parade.

Bode - the jail bird!

Kobe - the police officer!

Mylee - I think the costume was called Poison Apple

Trick or Treating!

And I just had to show you how creative I am, LOL! Actually I just totally spaced off the trunk or treat at the preschool so I just ran into the studio (it's next door to the preschool) and grabbed what I could.

And some cute spider cupcakes that I made for the cupcake walk at or studio's Halloween Carnival. (I thought they turned out cute anyway!)Mylee and Mikayla did their own hair and make-up to help in the srudio's haunted house.

Very Scary!

Mylee waiting for the haunted house to open.

It was a very busy but very fun October!
