Thanksgiving

We stayed home on Thanksgiving Day and had dinner with the ranch family.  Here is the kids table:

Jacob is sitting at the end with the empty plate!  Both Joe & I forgot to fill his plate.  Poor third child! ;)

Some pics from the ornament exchange after dinner!

On Friday, we packed up and headed to a cabin in Deadwood.  We spent lots of time playing games and the kids did lots of swimming.

Gabi & Gio playing cribbage with Papa Dave

Jacob liked the peek through door in one of the bedrooms.

Fern was able to join us on Saturday!

Cousins!  :)

Halloween

Starting off the Monster March with some KL&A kiddos

Jacob was Pistol Pete for Halloween!

Adding more KL&A buddies and other friends as we continued on the Monster March downtown.  :)  Gabi was a Dia de los Muertos skeleton and Maya was a deer (her best friend was the deer hunter standing next to her!)

Gabi busted the pinata open!  Candy!!

Don & Phyllis with lots of their great grandkids!

Homecoming Fun!

We had a fun Homecoming Week!  We kicked it off with a color run.  The result of the color run is indicative of the girls personalities...Gabi loves to get messy and Maya doesn't like messes.

Flowers from Joyce's garden in my classroom.

Maya throwing the football at the field day and dunking a football captain!

Jacob Starts School!

I can't believe Jacob started preschool this fall.  He LOVES school and gets so excited when he gets to go.

Jacob's first "show and share"...he took his big crane truck and told the kids all about it!

Wyoming Football!!

We all attended a Wyoming football game in September.  Joe and Gabi were able to attend a couple more as well.  It was a fun season!

Catching up with Nicole

Fun on the slide in the Tailgate Zone

At the Pep Rally with some friends!

Getting to meet Cowboy Joe!

TEN

Gabi turned TEN at the end of September!  We are so proud of the confident, strong, smart girl she is! Here are some pictures of the family get together we had for her.

Instead of traditional birthday pancakes, she chose to have cinnamon coffee cake --  her favorite!

Gabi got to go to a Colorado Rockies game with Joe for her birthday!  They took my mom and dad along with them and had a great time!  Gabi hung out with Grammy Mary and Papa Gary for a couple days as well while Joe did some work in Colorado.
