Hockey & the Pumpkin Patch

I can't remember why Addison is playing hockey in her underwear..... but I remember Mason saying they were like the boys (meaning his cousins) playing without shirts. Ha! 

Addison wanted her picture with her doll. 

So of course Mason had to get in..... 

Post bath time..... he was walking around in Addison's play high-heels. Ha! Ryan was thrilled..... haha 

School picture, take 1. We did retakes in hopes of a better smile. 

Both kids wanted their picture "in the hole" of the hay bales at the Pumpkin Patch. 

Our annual Humpty Dumpty picture.  

Trying to lasso the cow! 

Finally put our autograph pictures together! These are the photo mats that the kids had autographed by the Disney characters on the boat. Then they each picked photos to put in the frames. Mason picked me and him with Chip & Dale and Addison picked the whole family with Cinderella. 

I love getting out holiday decorations and finding things that Shannon made with the kids :) It makes my heart happy :) We took this picture to send to her. 

Once again, matching shirts :) That is one of Mason's favorite outfits. Oh yea, and the vampire teeth. ha! 

Just doing some night cruising on the gator at the Ames house..... we couldn't get him to come inside! 
 

Adventureland & Iowa Game

Matching shirts!! These kids LOVE to match.

The kids always ask to ride the carousel at the zoo, we always tell them "wait till Adventureland" :) 

Loving the teacups! 

Addison loves the bumper cars. It's funny for me to post these pictures a year later.... this summer Mason has loved the bumper cars too!

We always pack a picnic lunch and I have a treat of some kind in there. A couple weeks ago, Addison rode with me on the bumper cars. Mason and Ryan crashed into us and I said "no treats for you guys!!" Mason thought that was so funny. So last week, he wanted to ride with me so badly and the first thing he says when we got in the car "When Dad & Addy bump us, I'm going to yell No Treats for You!!" Haha! 

Working on his name in the Grasshopper Room.

We are ready for game day!! We were playing Iowa at home that weekend. 

LOVING our new helmet inflatable!! Thanks to my cousin Alecia and our love for deals..... we got a killer deal on this helmet at the end of the season through price adjusting :) 

I was working on the "Read the whole Holy Bible in a year" and my little cuddle-bug wanted to sit with me. 

Mimosas in the parking lot while we waited for Landon to arrive! 

The Snack King & Queen

Conner pulling the little kids to the tailgate lots.

This kid LOVES tailgating! But who doesn't?!

Entertainment for 3 hours..... Rocks! 

It's so easy to watch the game while they play in the rocks :) 

But look how dirty that face is...... haha! He claims he didn't eat any rocks......
 

It's Football Time!

It's rare all the cousins are together, so we had to get a picture! Makena 17, Conner 16, Parker 15, Brayden 11, Addison 7, Nolan 4, and Mason 3 (this was last September at the first football game)

Just missing Mom and Dad :) 

Kelly & Dave with Addison & Mason

Then our family :) 

They love tailgating!! 

Popping bottles! 

Tracey took the kids for a walk and they got police officer stickers.

Not sure our Lents jersey will fit this year...... 

The kids look forward to a Tropical Sno during the game. 

Conner & Nolan waiting to see if they can get gloves from a player. 

Me and my buddy waiting for the players. 

He's a silly kid!! 

And not 5 minutes later, he was asleep! Ha! 

Parker and Mason walking back to the tailgate. 

 We bring the wagon so the kids get a little break on the way back to our car. No break for Nolan, I think he pulled the wagon the whole time!
