Our Week

Pictures from our Week! 

Kael got to go out and shovel....

He refused to wear gloves or mittens....and came in complaining bc his hands were cold...I wonder why! 

Kyle started soccer....and I cannot believe it but he loves it!  Kreighton is a super sister  and hangs with him for the 1st couple of minutes (she is too old for this soccer)

And yes he is wearing shorts....but changes the second soccer is over!

He even wants to sign up for league soccer next year!

Kp doing homework during soccer!  

Kyle has terrible dry hands....they crack and bleed and he is way over the top about washing them ALLLL the time!  And of course he hates lotion! So I wait until after he falls asleep lather him up and then wrap his hand in a towel....it is actually working!  And his eye lids get super dry as well which seems like such an odd thing to dry out!  

A picture of Kael sleeping on 1/4 of his bed.....he does anything to make going to bed difficult!

Fred took the older two to a wrestling meet which of course meant Kyle wanted to wrestle when he  got home!

Kael thought it was fun as well!

Until he got hurt which ended in tears!  I am sure not the last wrestling match that will end in tears through the years!

And this is a normal picture of Kael....since his tonsils have been out he is HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!  I am not kidding all he wants to do is eat!

Cereal and Broccoli....SURE!

Fred bought Swiss Cake Rolls....Kael managed to eat the whole box in less than 4 days!

Just a cute picture of Kyle is my glasses!

Twins in their Pioneer Coats!

 

Twins in their batman shirts!

Fred and I got away for a night in Dubuque for the Pioneer Party :)

We went and had lunch with Will for Catholic Schools Week!

Such a sweet picture....Will was so excited to show his cousins around!

Yummy School Lunch!

Hotdogs or Maidrites....the choice was tough!

Friday night there was raccoon in the yard....the kids watching as Fred shot it!  

The next morning checking it out....Kreighton thought it was awesome and even took a picture of the blood and is now trying to convince her Dad to take her hunting!!!!

Lazy Saturday morning....the kids were playing PBS kids...Kreighton was wanting to learn about Thomas Jefferson....Fred and Kreighton's new fun thing is reading different things about history and then quizzing each other about it....and then teasing me bc I usually have no idea:)

Kreighton made a musical instrument! 

I was pretty impressed!

And Kreighton reading Boxcar Children to her brother...this was my favorite series when I was little.....so happy Kreighton likes them as well!

Play Date!

The kids got out early yesterday....so Lauren, Lindsay, and Laynee came over and played with Kreighton and Brady came and played with Kyle!  Fred put up Kreighton's  loft that Quirings gave us and she was one excited girl and could NOT wait to show her friends!  She requested to have snacks in her room ready to go when they got off the bus!  

And I did what she asked!  Everything tastes better in fancy glasses and on toothpicks!

4 Happy Girls!  They loved it!  And requested I clean up while they did homework.....;)

The boys were more interested in getting outside!

But soon decided to come in to farm!  It was hilarious listening to them....they knew what they were talking about!

And even let Kael be a part of their operation!

Just missing Levi!

Then Fred put the girls to work....addressing letters for Pioneer!

But of course the girls were ok with it once Fred offered up the cash!

It was a fun afternoon and so thankful I have a house that can fit all these great friends!  They all did great!

Minnesota.....Again!

This past weekend the kids and I went up to Minnesota...Fred stayed home he has been super dad/husband taking care of all of us....running us to Dr Appts, pharmacy, and over all just being awesome!  

So we decided it would be better for him to stay home and get caught up on stuff and relax!  The kids and I left about 12....we met up with Grandpa Craig about 20 minutes outside of the city and he drove the rest of the way....I thought for sure we would get stuck in traffic and all the kids would have to go to the bathroom....of course there was no traffic and we would have just been fine! 

Sissy playing with the boys!  It was fun to see all 3 playing together!

Kreighton snuggling with Sissy!

Saturday we took the boys to the Ice Castles....it was really neat to see!  I wish Fred could have been there because he would have understood how they were made!

They really looked like Elsa's Castle!  Anna and Elsa were there but the boys thought they were "too cool" to get their picture taken with them!

Kyle's Throne!

They had an awesome slide that Kyle had fun on!

He is getting so brave....last year there is no way he would have went down this slide without someone with him!

But he would get his picture taken with Olaf!

Seriously so NEAT!

Kreighton got the royal treatment!  Really....here she is at Tea Party with her American Girl Doll and Clara!

They got to make bracelets and get their hair done. They also learned all about manners!

Elizabeth Clara's cousin on the other side also went along!

All 3 Girls!

Then Mary Lou (Bridget's Mom) took the girls to the Ice Castle....like I said Kreighton got the Royal Treatment!

By the time the Girls got there there was over an hour wait to get a picture with Anna and Elsa....so Mary Lou had the girls stand there with The Princesses in the background!  Then the 3 girls got to spend the night with Mary Lou!

Saturday night the neighbor boy came over and watched the 3 little boys while we got to go out to eat!  The food was AWESOME! 

James and Mom....we went to this neat underground bar after supper!

Myself and Bridget

Brad...being COOL!

Then my wonderful husband who I really wanted to to relax and get caught up on "stuff" built this for me....lockers for the kids!  They will all have their own space to put their coats, bags, etc!  I am so excited!


It was a great/short trip!  The kids did awesome on the way home.....we stopped once for a quick potty break and made it home in under 3 hours!

Pictures from Our Week!

Last week was nothing too exciting....but since I am really trying to keep my blog updated I thought I would share some pictures!

Ryan and the Girls came over for supper.....the kids love having Kading to play with and Kreighton loved mothering Reagan!

Here is my little popstar Kyle!  I am sure one day he will appreciate these pics!

And then there is Kael....mittens, boots, and no pants and maybe no underwear :)

These 2! 

Kael was lucky to be here when our new tractor arrived home!

Daddy and Grandpa Glen were at a meeting....thank goodness Kael and Grandpa Craig were here to help get the  job done!

Testing out the new tractor!

Kyle woke up with a swollen gland again....so we went to the dr to make sure he was ok to go to Minnesota....he decided to try to find his inner Turtle Power...I guess the Rat does this on the movie?????
