Wreaths Across America

We participated in Wreaths Across America last weekend at the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery. It was such an amazing experience to place wreaths on the headstones to honor the Soldiers and their families for their service and sacrifice!!!

Snow!

It snowed last night and it is suppose to snow most of today. The kids and I are fighting colds but I hope to get out and build a snowman!!

Bowling

Over the Thanksgiving break we went to our post bowling alley! The kids had a lot of fun and I was excited to find another indoor option during the winter months in Kansas!

First Snow

The first snow fall was November 15th. We were suppose to get up to 5 inches but the snow only gave us a total of one inch or so and was melted by the next day. The kids had a lot of fun and the dogs were not sure what was happening!

 Keira loved to shovel the snow...

 Then decided to sled instead.

It was a nice slow introduction to the snow!!

Glasses for Keira

Keira has wanted glasses for over a year now. She doesn't have an issue seeing things when we are out or when reading. However, after another failed eye test at school I took her back into the doctor. This time they discovered each eye has an astigmatism which can cause blurriness sometimes. This explains why sometimes the board is clear and other times it is not. She picked out some cute purples glasses and has to wear them in class during learning/board time.

 

Happy Halloween

We had a really fun Halloween this year. Our neighbors got together for dinner and a group candy handout. While the weather was really chilly, everyone had a great time!!!

 

Tyler as Boba Fett and Brian as a Jedi

 

Keira and her friend, Keira, decided to be Thing 1 and Thing 2. They are in the same class so it was super cute!!!

Cheer & Football

Our fall sports season came to an end Wednesday.

 

Keira enjoyed cheer and I loved watching her; however, this was the first season her coaches coached cheer and they didn't learn too many cheers so she got bored pretty quickly!

 Brian was the assistant coach for Tyler's flag football team. The team did well and Tyler LOVED playing this season. He did amazing! He is VERY fast, read the plays and scored touchdowns! So cool to see that switch flip!
