Happy Halloween!

The weather was beautfiul the weekend before Halloween, so we moved our pumpkin carving fest outside!

Jacob wanted a silly face!  Joe delivered.

Jacob's had a JH brand on the back.

Maya carved a cat!

Gabi's was a basketball

Jacob's Preschool had a costume parade and program.  He was so excited about his astronaut costume.

All of the KL&A kids plus some ready for the Monster March

Jacob was an astronaut

Complete with a jetpack designed by Joe

After a few trick or treat stops, we ended up at Memmers' for a party and pinata!  Fun stuff!

Maya is a deer huntress, Gabi is a skeleton...again.  She had an inflatable pumpkin costume, but it lost its inflatability.  :)

The Rockies ROCK!

My Mom & Dad bought Gabi tickets to the last regular season Rockies game for her birthday.  Their seats were awesome and she loved every minute of it!  We have watched the Rockies all season, so it was fun for them to go see them for their last game before Rocktober!

Ian Desmond threw a ball up to Gabi!

Their seats were right on first base beside the Rockies dugout.

All of the players walked around Coors Field after the game and threw things up to the fans.  Joe caught a Charlie Blackmon beanie/beard.

Go Pokes!

We have made a couple of trips to Laramie so far this fall to cheer on the Pokes.  We travelled with some friends for the first game and met Joe in Laramie.  He had been in Denver for some meetings.

We also went down at the end of September for Gabi's birthday and met my Mom & Dad there.  We then spent the rest of the weekend at their house in CO.

The kids love the games!  Joe and my Dad are there today (November 3) to cheer them on.  We hope to make it to one more game before the end of the season if the weather allows.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch near Sheridan with some friends.  Since Joyce grows pumpkins in the garden, the kids got to pick out funky pumpkins, for a fun arrangement this fall!

Our friend gave Jacob this costume and he wore it the rest of the weekend!  He loves it!

Homecoming Color Run

The girls each took a friend to participate in the Homecoming Color Run to benefit the SAVE program at BHS and the Food Pantry.  It is always a fun time!

Still pretty clean at this point!

Not so clean at the finish line!

ELEVEN

Gabi turned 11 at the end of September!  Hard to believe!  She had a super fun birthday and we can't wait to see what this year holds for our spunky, smart, and determined girl.

A metal detector!

A .22!  She will be in Shooting Sports this year for 4-H and is very excited.

Back to School

The girls and I headed back to school at the end of August.  Jacob went back after Labor Day.  Everyone was ready and excited after a fun summer!

Maya will be in 4th Grade

Gabi will be in 5th grade

Jacob will be in PreK

My classroom about ready to go with a freshly painted Bison!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

Here are some random pictures from the end of our summer and the beginning of fall (winter).  :)

Both girls played in the golf league this summer.

Kendrick Park in Sheridan

We had planned to take a big road trip up to Glacier National Park after fair, but some things out of our control happened, so we made the most of a staycation instead.

We love our pets

Fall lasted a whole 6 days before the snow came!  Fall in Wyoming doesn't last long!

But having the elk right outside our window one morning made the snow worth it!

I had a busy fall of coaching cross country!  They were such a fun group that they season flew by!

Conference Champions and Coaches of the Year!  :)

A fall hike around Heritage Park East of town.  Silly kids.
