Halloween Party @ Gilda's Club

On Saturday, I brought Cody (& Gigi) along with me to Gilda's Club. It was their Halloween NoogieFest & the Junior League girls staff the parties. My friend Susan & I were working the Boo Bingo table upstairs while Gigi & Cody the Cow played downstairs in NoogieLand. Christina had a bat specialist come and teach the kids all about bats & he showed us a few too....The biggest bat in the world with a 6 ft/ wingspan - YIKES! That heebied me out a little bit!

*In case you couldn't tell, I was cowgirl with my cow, Cody!

Classic Krispy Kreme Sunday with the SOETS

Today we stopped by Krispy Kreme so the kids could finally get some pumpkin doughnuts. I only took a few pictures, but they totally captured each kids in their current phase -

Cody - first born, 4yrs. old
Always trying some new trick, very smiley for the camera, & a doughnut lover!



Lindsey - Middle Child, 2.5yrs. old
Suddenly VERY attached to Mom, very stubborn about smiling for the camera, VERY strong willed & extreme lover of doughnuts!



Charlie - Baby of the family, 8 months old
Super happy, already always trying to be like Cody & Lindsey, the only one of my kids that ever had a doughnut at 8months (before stealing his brother's sippy of OJ to wash it down with), apparently another Soet with a doughnut weakness...

FALL FUN at the orchard & the pumpkin patch!

We had a great Saturday with Gigi, Aunt Terri, Melissa, & the kids picking apples, playing in the pumpkin patch, feeding the goats, & of course, eating the doughnuts!

Charlie John @ 8 months old!

None of the cute 8mo. pictures actually shows his cute little 8mo. onesie...He is very into barrel rolling around & crawling - which don't make for great onesie pictures! He can't quite crawl away yet. He gets it for a second and then can't figure it out again. I am soaking up every last minute of gate free living! -I'm sure it won't last long!

six years

Today is our 6th anniversary! It was a very LONG day with the kids & I tried to get too many things crossed off the perpetual list during their naps & after they went to bed...I'm beat!
So with that being said, I'm too tired to write much about today other than I can't believe how full my life with Steve has been & that he is still the Meat Man of my dreams!

Happy Anniversary!
xoxo, Kris

-Goodnight!

Class Trip

Yesterday was Cody's first school field trip! I was of course one of the chaperones & got to go along as the Children's Workshop kids toured the EGR Safety Dept. - Firefighters, firetrucks, police cars, & cops! After all of that we went to the EGR Library for stories & songs. It was so much fun to tag along and really get to know the other kids in Cody's class. He LOVED getting in the trucks & the red dougnut he snagged at Meijer once the field trip was over & we had to pick up dinner!

WIENERMOBILE! We saw it!

A friend of my Aunt Terri's invited us over to check out the WIENERMOBILE! Her daughter & another mobile marketer (wienermobile driver) take it around the country promoting hot dogs everywhere. While I wouldn't recomend Oscar Mayer - it was a site this hot dog family couldn't pass up! Lindsey was scared of the giant wiener (not such a bad thing...) Cody loved it & the little hot dog whistles they gave him, & Charlie was very Charlie about it - Cute & smiley the whole time. HOT DOGS! YUM!
