Turkey Lunch

.11.17.11.

Not gonna lie, I like cafeteria turkey dinners...especially the stuffing! Mmm Mmm. So I was really excited when we were invited to dine w/our Pre K'ers to celebrate Thanksgiving before the break. Lambie's cute little [fancy] turkey. She made fans out of every piece of paper she could get her hands on that week...lol

...and after our yummy lunch, we headed to the mall for a playdate.

Lady Gators.

Our Superstar...out of 40+ girls, Kai made the cut [as a starter]! 

As always, she rocked the court!

 ...and the Lady Gators started out the season 2-0!

Way to go, girls!

Crafty Grandpa

My dad is and always has been pretty artistic! Doodles on my brown lunch bags, is one of my fondest childhood memories. I'm so happy my kids get to share in that fun. So, while recovering from surgery...he picked up a new hobby. 

Smarties is kind of a Grandpa thing, that started w/Kailee!

Ryan & his Mater

The kids love them, they loving having a special place to tuck all their favorite things! Thanks Dad.

Veteran's Day

.11.10.11.

Ryan's school put on a wonderful Veteran's Day program. I wish Fred was here to see it, it was very touching! I held it together pretty well, till they started handing out beautiful handmade cards for all the service members in attendance. 

He loves being in the lime light!

“On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.”
