KK basketball 2nd grade

 KK had a great year! She scored a lot and got a ton of rebounds. She was a lot more aggressive this year and often got the 50/50 balls!





























Feisty one!


I missed the beginning but KK's the one shooting!



Fighting for position! Love it!

Fall Choir Concert-Blair

I usually make the kids go to one of Blair's choir concerts. They picked this one (Dyer-to get it over with!) and of course I'm reminded why I prefer they don't come because I don't get to fully enjoy it...

Honestly I should make them go to the last choir concert because that one is usually the shortest and the most upbeat/fun one. 









October 2024 Halloween

Blakely decided to try out for the high school musical "Matilda Jr." She got to be Bruce's older sister/part of the Mob family? Her best friend, Jethro, also tried out and got the part of Bruce. Blakely had a blast learning the songs and dances. She was just as tall as most of the high school girls and she was still in elementary school! We weren't allowed to film so pictures it was! 










Blakely had so much fun and she can't wait for the next play. I think they are going to do Wizard of Oz in Spring 2026








Crazy hair day! We tried to do cupcakes but KK's hair is way too thin!

Haha! Getting drunk on Butterscotch Beer (non alcoholic knock off of Butterbeer-Harry Potter). 



I took the 3 youngest to the pumpkin Patch. We were on a time crunch since Blair was going later that evening on a "date" (she claims it wasn't a date but 3 guys and 3 girls....definitely a triple date!) and of course she didn't want us around!

I took the girls to the Halloween story walk at the city park. It was a little shorter and less busy than I thought it would be but the girls had fun none the less. Blair took the girls trick or treating downtown later that day after KK's basketball game. Later that night I took the 3 youngest to one of Nathan's retired co-worker's house for their annual Halloween event. This year was Disney Princesses!

It took a while to get this smile...



She got upset that I took Eden's picture before hers...


She's got a pretty good grumpy face, don't you think?










KK got a hold of my phone and took a ton of interesting selfies of herself...here are some of the highlights:



Yes, she is definitely going to need braces when she gets older...












Eden: Dyer, I want you to be married to a mean girl that hurts children!
Dyer: Why?
Eden: Because you're mean and hurt children too!
