Happy Thanksgiving 2023

We are off to a great start to the holidays!  We hosted Thanksgiving and had a great time getting ready.  The boys acquiesced yet again and wore matching pajamas for their sappy mom!
Isaac was a big help in the kitchen!  He worked on the mac and cheese, the mashed potatoes and the turkey!
Without even talking, these 3 ended up wearing just about the same outfit.

We celebrated Anya's 9th birthday!
Bamma and her crew, hard to get a picture at this stage!

All the Rodriguez cousins!

October happenings 2023!

Well here we are again more than a month has flown by!  In early September we went to the annual Tristate Rodeo in Fort Madison Iowa.




ALL THE MINIVANS!
The kids just keep getting bigger!  Sadly Ayla wasn't there this year since she had a volleyball tournament.
Back at home the excitement of new instruments was here!  Isaac started trumpet and Sam switch over to tenor sax.
Minnie cat enjoyed her 4th birthday!
Mike and I got all snazzed up to go to one of his coworkers wedding!
More instrument fun, they tried to swap just for fun.
Noah was able to go to homecoming, looking sharp.


He went with his BFF Maya!
Isaac tried a new pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, he devoured half of it!
Pumpkin carving!
Isaac wanted to do a Portillo's themed trunk or treat car this year!
He and I went to Culver's and tried the curderburger, it was awesome!

On Halloween, my school had cereal themed costumes for all the teaching staff.
Sam rocked a crusader costume!
Molly cat turned 5!
Sam hit the streets with his crew!
And Isaac was a hot dog for the second year in a row!
Lots of candy to organize and trade this year!
Sam and Isaac were able to go see a musical in the city with Bampa.
So now we settle into November and get ready for all the holiday excitement!
