Piano Recital

Last night was Kasidee's first piano recital. She has been playing for just under a year and has learned so much! We love her piano teacher and the time and love she shows Kasi. I remembered being so NERVOUS to preform in front of everybody, but Kasi seemed pretty confident. She's alot better at many things already than I ever was!

It was a Halloween recital, so all the kids dressed up. This year she wanted to be scary (it's true, one day they grow out of the "princess" phase). I still think she's a "cute" mummy!



She learned 2 songs for the recital. This one is called Happy Feet.



This one is Messages from Outer Space.

Octoberfest

It's that time of year again! And a very successful Octoberfest it was! The menu was: Bratwurst, shrimp, purple potatoes, garden carrots, fruit, and apple crisp for dessert. We live for good food and new recipes at our house. My mom is so cute to start new personal family traditions, we sit under the big tree and enjoy the leaves and the cool weather in the fall. I just love spending time with my family, we laugh and play football, and the kids climb moms trees.






Mandi serenaded us while Ella danced, and danced, and danced. Never a dull moment!


Easy and YUMMY apple crisp.

Tricks and Treats

I walked into Dillon's room today and got FREAKED out!! On Saturday he told me he was going outside to look for bugs, and was super excited when he found a grasshopper! I didn't think Dill had the guts to actually catch one (usually Kasi runs the bug catching business) when to my surprise he had found one and had decided to have it be his very own pet (running free) in his bedroom. When I screamed as it jump attacked me, Dill came running in and said , "Hey buddy I wondered where you were."
