My nephews, Wes and Dusty, played football this season. We had so much fun going to their games and watching them. They were awesome and really did do a great job. I didn't get any pictures of Wes because my camera died right when the game started but I got some of Dusty's game.
Draven, Maddie and Audrik all fell asleep on the ride home. They were holding hands - so cute!
We have had so much fun this week. It has been crazy but lots of fun. Last Friday, I took the kids and went and picked apples at my parents house. Our neighbors, the Woodstocks, came along and I am so glad. It was nice to have the company - thanks guys for letting me tag along to dinner. Kurt was at a Halloween Party for some of the other grad students that were leaving to go back to China. I have great plans for these apples and hopefully will get to them this weekend.
The whole gang: Top - Kim, Jen, Janet, Steph and Wendy. Bottom - Britanie, Nicole, Pat, Me and Beck.

My cousin, Steph, cousin-in-law, Jen and her sister, Kim We have had so much fun! We live in a great neighborhood. I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful family members and friends. It will make moving bitter-sweet.
Draven always is stopping to give us thumbs up during soccer.
Kurt and I do not have any baby/childhood pictures of him. In fact, I have seen very few ever so I asked Kurt's mom if we could get some. She gave us an envelope of negatives so I hauled them to Inkleys and asked them if they could put them on a disk. Unfortunately, the negatives were a different size than what their standard processes handle so we had to have them sent out and we could only get actual prints (no disk). We got them back today. I am so excited and Kurt is even more excited, which is a good thing since I was worried he wouldn't be happy with how much I spent to have them reprinted. It was a small fortune but I really wanted my kids to have pictures of their daddy growing up - so I justified it as money well spent :). Here are a few of the pics that I had a chance to scan in. It is so fun to see his little personality and facial expressions and how much they remind me of Draven and Audrik.

They look like pure trouble!

Quite the assortment! He was so excited so I put together an actual picnic.
In my defense - Draven got out the four cokes. I was a little worried when he got out four. . . how much coke does he think I drink :).
Audrik got this toy for Christmas. He loves it! He has figured out the horn, how to lift the bucket and how to use it as a step to get up on things.
Audrik love his toys, being outside, and baths but nothing compares to his love of food! Some of his favorites are:
