October

We have done lots of things this month and found out lots of things too!

Kassi really likes her dance class. She is working on listening to the teacher and ignoring what the other little girls do. She will have a recital May. The first class of the month is family and friends days so we can go in during class and take pictures and video. I'll try and get some good ones to post on here!

Nina turned six months old. She is growing up really fast. Her and Kassi are getting along really well. Sometimes they still get a little too rowdy and Nina ends up knocking Kassi down, but they are getting better. Nina likes to check in on Kassi at night and lay with her first thing in the morning. Kassi has been sick the last week and Nina has really been watching her and snuggling with her. Nina also won her first photo contest this week. She is a beautiful dog and everyone seems to love her. I never thought I'd love a bird dog!

Snuggling in the morning.

The photo of Nina that won. I think it would have been better if Kas' shadow wasn't in it, but she was trying to help.

Kassi and her cousin Jack had their birthdays this month. It is fun to get together twice in a month. I think Kassi enjoys October because of this. She loves getting to see Jack and Uncle Casey. Oh yes, and thanks for the lovely pictures Roger....teach me to leave my camera behind!

We carved pumpkins last week and got the last tomato's out of the garden. I was amazed they hadn't all froze yet. Kassi only had three little zucchini's. She was so excited to have them though. We got her faces to put on her pumpkin and let her pick a design for us to carve for her. She picked a spider and was so happy when Wes was done carving it. Somehow I didn't get a picture of Wes' pumpkin and it has already shriveled up, but it was way cool it was a howling werewolf.

She was so proud of the pumpkin her daddy carved for her she thought it was awesome.

The downtown merchants did their trick or treating event Friday night so Kassi got all dressed up in her Halloween costume and we went trick or treating. She did really well saying trick or treat and thank you to everyone. She entered a costume contest, but we haven't heard the results yet.

Flying like a little butterfly. We had let her get a bottle of spray glitter. Let's just say that everything from the house to the pickup is rather sparkly!


I have been arranging travel plans for Wes to go to Waco, Texas this winter for a sweeper school. If anyone has any advice on what he could do for a day there he has a free day while he is there.
