30 Reasons Not To Be In A Play
Connor was in his first school play.  He decided to just be an extra since he is still doing football too.  He was so excited that he got to be a zombie!









They messed up his last name so he's listed as Connor "Dirkes"

The after-show performance
























Hot Date?
Jeremy had a corny idea to grow a mustache for an 80's-themed Christmas card this year.  The night before the photo shoot we had tickets to see James Gaffigan perform at the Midland Theater downtown KC.  That meant I had to be seen in public with this:


The show was awesome though so it was worth the funny looks
The next night after the pictures I got my smooth-faced sweetie back!

The kids were so good for the photos we rewarded them with a rare treat of Applebees for dinner
Cake Pops
Whitney and I were invited to our friends house to make cake pops.





Enjoying one of the last beautiful days outside
End of the Season Party
Football is over.  We didn't win the championship this year but we still got second place.  One of the player's Mom donated a free swim party to the boys for their End of the Season Party.  I couldn't go and gave Jeremy strict orders to take good pics of the team.  I had to post these pics because these were the only pics he took and he STILL insists they were good!





( I love you sweetie but you're not to be trusted to take important pics anymore)

Kentucky for Thanksgiving
Not sure if my Family in Kentucky had any idea that when we moved back to Kansas after Germany that they would become our holiday destination of choice for the foreseeable future but we just love going to see all of them!  We have been looking forward to this trip for a long time.  (since our last trip in April!)

Kayla's favorite spot!  Whitney even buckled her to make sure she was "safe".

We are finally there!!
Thanksgiving Morning
Since we had such a large turnout for dinner everyone met at the church for dinner


Whitney is concentrating really hard to stand just like Paige









Whitney is such a good little reader now and Jaime reaped the benefits as Whitney read his book to him


Kids always love Connor - the human playground

An exciting game of dodgeball... Connor and Jeremy are trying to hide behind Timmy

New BFFs

Connor loved sneaking treats to Jamie 




Decorating Mammaw's tree




A real Kentucky breakfast: homemade biscuits and gravy, taters, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and juice.  
 Saying Good bye









Can't wait until we can go back!!!
