My three boys

Basketball is upon us again and Dave took extra time to spend with the boys this weekend. They put up the Christmas trees together, cut down the cannas together, they even did bedtime reading all together. You can almost see Kye's missing tooth and the other about to fall out in this picture. More on that later.

Paghetti!!!!

Our sweet little Kristopher has entered that phase of eating tons one day and nothing the next. One meal we are assured that he will eat however is "PAGHETTI!!!!" He LOVES it. He can't get it into his mouth fast enough as you can see by the abandonment of the fork for both of his hands.

Halloween

We had lots of Halloween activities leading up to the big day. We had the 1st grade pumpkin carving night at school that Mommy got to go to, yes she worked with knives and didn't attempt to cut of any fingers this time! The kids had some Halloween carols to sing to us and let me tell you how cute they were!

Kye opted to be an "ARMY Guy, like BaBa" so Mommy opted for Kris to be a Navy guy. We went to the zoo and gots loads of candy, then Daddy escorted the boys for the big night. They got more "special" treats from our wonderful neighbors than they could have imagined.

Brothers

Last weekend, Kye was practicing baseball with his metal bat. Kris got really excited and wanted a turn too and just as Kye was swinging, Kris ran up to him. He caught Kris in the cheek, not the eye fortunately, but he looks like he won the prize fight!
Kye is also loosing his front tooth, it's wiggling all over the place!

Moon Marble Company

Kye's Tiger Cub group went to the Moon Marble Factory in Bonner Springs this month. They showed them how to make marbles and taught them some fun games. I highly recommend this trip! There are some really cool marbles there!

Pumpkin Picking

We made our annual trip to Johnson Farms this month. They have a wonderful selection of pumpkins and gourds. The boys like the pumpkins, I LOVE the gourds! All those fun shapes and colors. For me, the bumpier and lumpier they are, the better!
They added a pig race this year and Kye's pig won! The farmers are very friendly, willing to answer the 150 questions the boys had about EVERYTHING!! They also had a pumpkin "Muncher" and a pumpkin launcher this year. We could have stayed all day watching that!

Bye Bye Royals......

Yesterday was the Royals last game of the season. Although we are not die hard fans, an occasional game or two is fun. We managed to make it to two games this season and also went to the T-Bones twice. It was the last game for Buddy Bell, the manager, and for Mike Sweeney, the first baseman. Dave and the boys were down front during the National Anthem and got some good pics of Mike up close. Dave said Mike had a hard time during the National Anthem. Can't imagine how hard it must be for him to walk away after all these years.
During the whole game, Kris kept saying "GO TBONES!!" I'd say, "No Kris, Go Royals," and he would respond with "GO TBONES!!" He was so enthusiastic about it, I just gave up after awhile. The game ended with two injuries though, a fan a couple of sections away got hit with a fly ball, and moments later, Alex Gordon, the third baseman, got it right above the eyes. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time even though the Royals lost, AGAIN!!
