Kadances' Sweet Seven

Kadance turned 7 years old on January 13, this just happened to be a Friday night, so we thought what better than a pool/slumber party. Kadance invited some girls from school and church to help her celebrate. It was a great time!

No 7 year old party complete without the Biebs!




Christmas Cont...

Christmas morning at Grandma Karen and Grandpa Dale's




(Not pictured for some reason, Kadance and Cate had matching PJ's that they wore to the 6am sunrise service. PJ's were made by Grandma Karen.)

Christmas 2011

On December 21, 2011 we took possession of our new home. We didn't put up a tree or do lights but with all the family and friends that helped us move in, it has been one of our best Christmas' yet. Even with the change in address Santa Clause was able to find our house to deliver an early gift to Kadance and Cate.
Santa brought her "I can be bride Barbie Set", just what she wanted!
Cate on the other hand was less than thrilled.
Maybe next year.

Fall Festival/Beggars' Night

Before Kadance headed off to the Fall Festival at church, she read her 20th book for October, to receive her free personal pan pizza for Book It!!! We are so proud of how she is doing and improving from Kindergarten.




Kadance dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast (this was my old costume) and looked great!

On Beggars' night Kadance decided she wanted to be an Angel. For Cate's first Halloween she was a lady bug and pulled it off well!

Carving Pumpkins

While we are waiting for our dream home to accept our offer.....
we are residing at an apartment in Ankeny. So with the limited space we only carved one pumpkin this year. We let Kadance design it, she wanted it to be a scary vampire.  With some knife assisstance from Kelly here is her masterpiece.
