I Did It!!

Okay so as most of you know I can't make pie crust to save my life. Well the other day Russell was craving pumpkin pie (as he usually does at this time of the year) so I decided that I would attempt to make it. So I tried the food processor method and it worked beautifully!! In one crust I added a tsp of Cinnamon which made it even more delicious!! The only trouble I had is that I thought you had to poke holes in the crust before you put the filling in and it leaked out and stuck to the bottom of the pan so it made it a little difficult to get out of the pan but it didn't burn and it was still delicious!! I can't wait until Thanksgiving!!!

Fun Weekend

Last weekend Russell's younger sister Becky and his younger brother Joe drove all the way here from Idaho. They brought Becky's daughter Katelynn and his other brother John's daughter Kaylee. It was so fun to see them!! Kennadee was so surprised and excited to have her cousins come to visit! We went shopping and the found Rock Band at the electronics store and they had to play, Aunt Becky bought them all matching outfits and then the last night they were here we made chocolates. It was such a fun weekend!! Thanks for coming guys!!

Our Little Cheerleader

Last Friday night we went to another HHS Football game. It was against a huge school and it was aired on ESPN!! Anyway it was really crowded (stinkin' people wantin' to be on TV) and Kennadee was having a hard time because since it was so crowded she couldn't see the mascot (a gray hippo with huge red lips) and  the cheerleaders which are her two favorite things to see at a football game. 

She loves to see what they are doing and cheer along with them. Anyway after awhile she was getting a little out of control so I got her some pom-poms of her own (best $3 I ever spent) and took her down so she could see the cheerleaders and the mascot up close. She loved it she was jumping up and down and waving at the hippo and cheering along with them it was so adorable.

 

Kennadee looking at the hippo

Hooray!!

I love this!!

Look Mom I'm a cheerleader

P.S. right when I turned of the camera this young boy was running by and didn't see her and totally plowed her down! It was awful she was crying and so upset!
