November 2013

This is a picture that Chloe drew at school on Veterans Day.

 

 

Before I took the kids to school that day I made a point to stop and get our flag out of the garage and hang it outside so we could talk about it on the way to school.  Chloe grasped the idea pretty well, and both kids acknowledged our relatives who have served. 

Chloe's most vivid thought is of my cousin Morgan (Stewart) Musser and her husband Matt.  They are both Captains in the US Air Force and pilot C-130 cargo planes.  They are currently stationed in London, England, however we got to go their base in Little Rock, AR when we were there a few years ago.  Chloe still remembers going on board a C-130 and learning about what all they haul.  So for Veteran's Day Chloe drew Matt & Morgan piloting a C-130 hauling other service men and women to their destination.  Morgan was very proud of Chloe for this picture! 

 Isaac has become quite the artist also.  He really enjoys coming up with things to draw.  We put up a special line in the basement with clips so they can display their artwork.

This is K-State's CRAZY TRAIN! 

The kids know the Ozzy Osbourne song from the games and love watching the train crash into the helmet during the opening song at every home K-State game. 

 

This was actually Isaac's first powercat that he drew for Royce.

Proud Daddy!

Love our K-State kiddos!

November brought the 'extra' holiday our family & extended families celebrate --

Opening Weekend!

It was warm, there weren't many birds, but come rain or shine we will be at Grandma Pfannenstiel's farm for opening day.  Unfortunately Charlotte McGown was sick so Megan & Charlotte were not able to come with Cam this year.  It wasn't the same without them!  We love having them join our family events each year. 

Royce took Chloe, Isaac, and neighbor Jace to one of K-State's football games. 

As always, the kids were pumped up when they left Hays so I snapped this picture of Isaac in the before they left.  I posted it online with #futurewildcats in the subject and this picture made it onto the Jumbotron during the game while they highlighted Future Wildcat kids!  Yay Isaac!

Laundry, anyone?

Hope all of the wrinkles came out of Amelia okay!

Thanksgiving was a very enjoyable day.  Why was it so enjoyable?  Because Amelia & Caroline would not leave Andy's side!  *insert evil laugh here*  Once they were fed I didn't have to touch them for HOURS!  I'm sure Andy was exhausted at the end of his visit.  But he sure was a good sport putting up with them.  They are already excited for him to visit our house on Christmas day.  I hope he gets his rest ahead of time!  Andy is currently a firefighter in Liberal, KS. 

We had a couple of cute veggie stealers at Aunt Robbie's for Thanksgiving supper. 

Luckily they were so cute we didn't mind their slimy little fingers double-dipping in the ranch dressing from the veggie platter!

Starting to get cold out!

Better bundle up!
