We ended 2008 on a sad note - our buddy lightning passed away today.

We love you buddy!!! You will be missed...

Merry Christmas!!!
Cade was super excited he got his PS2!
Karsyn now has her own Nintendo DS to play with!!

Miss Kaylee now has her own cell phone! :-)

Kennedy got a new monkey named Penny - she was stuffed by Cade, Karsyn & Kaylee

Celebrating Christmas at Oma & Opa's with cousins Alli & Austin

Kennedy Jo - December 2008
Kaylee Anne - December 2006
Again - I don't see any resemblence between the two!!!!
(Aside from being tortured by having to sit in a bucket of bows!)

Here is our present from 2008!!! Isn't she sweet?
You can get me out of these bows any time now.....

Kaylee Anne had her very first haircut today!
Can't you see the excitement on her face? (this picture cracks me up!)

One lollipop later and she is all smiles.

We went to visit Santa tonight - amazingly enough Kaylee didn't cry and she even talked to him a little!

Happy Halloween

Our little goblins! Scary Skeleton Cade
Quarterback Karsyn

Sweet Puppy Kaylee

Tough (and tiny) Tiger Kenna

Happy Halloween!!!

Kennedy Jo - October 2008
Kaylee Anne - October 2006

(a lot of people say Kennedy looks like Kaylee - I don't see it)

Happily cruising along....
Kaylee experiencing some road rage....

Apparently the person at the end of the tunnel was scary!

Flag Football 2008

Highlights from Cade's Flag Football Season

We call him the Tom Brady of Tiffin!

We went to visit the pumpkin patch!!!

Kaylee and Kennedy - can you tell which of these is a turkey! :-)

Cade burning off some energy in the hay maze

Kennedy wasn't too sure about this guy...

This is as close at it gets to having 4 sets of eyes looking at the camera!

Kaylee playing in the corn - she was quite distressed when it got stuck between her toes!

Either Kennedy is really small or this pumpkin is gigantic

Here are the pumpkins the kids picked - not exactly the size for carving!

The annual fall pictures

Our four pumpkins!

Cade - 8 1/2 years

Karsyn - 7 years
Kaylee - 2 1/2 years

Kennedy - 7 months

Alli & Austin joining in the picture fun!

Happy 7th Birthday Karsyn!!!!!

She looks so sweet & innocent in this picture --- HA HA HA she has you fooled!!

Soccer has begun....

Cade is looking for the open guy
Karsyn is determined to get the ball from the boys

Kaylee has her monkey chair, her cereal and a toy - she's ready to watch some soccer!

Cade is trying to convince Kenna soccer really is fun!

It's a swarm of ducks - apparently they can smell the food!
Kaylee & Kennedy have a new friend!

Maybe if I hide it behind my back they will leave...

OK - this is it guys.

Apparently this duck was still hungry - he followed us to the parking lot
