Grandma Rutter's Here

Oh boy! Now what should we do that's fun while she's here?

Hmmmm . . .

Let's see. What should it be?

Go to the zoo?

How about a dip in the pool?

What I've got it, I know what would be so much fun, we should take grandma Rutter along!

Grace seemed to enjoy herself some what.Peyton, not so much.

Jeez, you think she could have come up with something better that the dentist!
For Michael it wasn't so bad.

Caseman takes it all in stride. Not that I think he'd call it fun. He just didn't mind being there and let them look at all of his teeth and put bubble gum flavored stuff on them after.OK guys like I said I won't be back for a year. Hope you have fun with the next person your mommy signs up to go with you.

What Baby is This?

So I'm home, going through pictures that had been taken, I had to do a double take on this one. Does this look like Casey or what? Now I realize she is a Bender and looks like her brother's, however to me this is Casey all over!

For your sake Heather I hope she has her other brother's personality (you can guess which one).

HAPPY THANKS GIVING

First thing this morning we grabbed Isa and headed out to Heather's to stuff the bird. Everyone had to get in on the action and assist bacca cow with the preparation. Michael was the first to put his hand in all the goo.Pety needed a little help from his mom (I think this was to keep it from going into his mouth)
Next up was Isa, I'm thankful that she wasn't doing this on her own as we would have been there all day just stuffing, as her hands are so tiny only a bit went in each time.

Showing the grand kids how to get the stuffing way down inside the bird.

Team work - - there's nothing like it.

Peyt just had to dump the seasoning out to see what it tasted like. Bet he really liked it, huh?

The Evidence

Exhibit A: Casey with the orange pop he said his Auntie wouldn't give him (but she did give it to everyone else)! Not only that but he got a nice hunk of smoked salmon too.

Little stink pot.

Kevin and Grandpa Meet Grace E.

Calvin with both of his granddaughter's. Isa thinks baby Gwace is pretty awesome. Heather with the two beauties.
Getting a picture of Uncle Kevin with Grace. Michael decided he needed to be in the picture. You can see what Uncle Kevin thought of that!Then everyone decided to dog pile and be in the picture too. See Kevin's hand up with a no, no, no? And look at Grace it's like she's thinking they're all coming after me again ~ ~ HELP.
Picture of all that was there. Kai stayed home this time, I think he's afraid to get in a car with me - the trip may be fun but he's in the car far too long.

You can bet there'll be more coming!

Look Who we Saw

A boy and a bear (g'pa wore this shirt so Kai would go to him first).Uncle Mikey and Aunt Martha stuck around until we got there. They are heading to IL, as Tiffany is about to have her first baby!Nicole's birthday celebration was put off for a day so we go be there. The bottle of her dreams Ghiradelli chocolate.

Mark presents the cake.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Nicole!

See you tomorrow,

we love you,

Mom and Dad

Halloween Party

Last night we attended a Halloween party that some friends were having. The kids went trick-or-treating with the dads while the mom's stayed back and chatted and ate some awesome food!

Here is a shot of Jack (AKA Kevin) with Katherine and Megan.
The whole group getting ready to head on out for some treats.
Some dancing fun after all the trick or treating.

These kids really like to show their stuff.
