New Blog Address

So... Apparently there is a limit to how many pictures you can upload onto your blog, and we've reached our limit. So...instead of paying for more storage, we just started us a new blog :) sneaky right? Anywho... if you'd like to keep checking up on us you can find us over here:

www.rkatkinsonfamily2.blogspot.com

Still trying to figure out the kinks there, so be patient. We're not fully updated. (but are we ever?)

Last of fall Soccer

Josh and his super cute soccer team! They have been so fun to watch. I say that a lot, but I have become a huge fan of soccer and this amazing little team. They are awesome!

I should post a collage of Josh and his tongue. We fear he may loose it in one of his games.

He's got some mad skills. Fall soccer is the best. Our weather was great this year. Now onto our futsal season...

Happy Halloween

Some of our favorite treats. The week of Halloween we always try to have some fun Halloweenish after school snack and dinner idea.

Nate was fascinated with the dry ice rootbeer.

Tyler went invisible this year. Barrett came up and went trick or treating with ty. He cracks me up. Its a little scary he can pull this costume off so easily.

Josh as Where's Waldo

Emily as our gold medal Olympic Gymnast complete with glitter and way to many hair clips :)

Lucy as Tinkerbell (we're still cleaning up the pixie dust!)

& Nate as Captain Hook

The kids had so much fun. Especially Nate. His face was priceless after the first couple houses, where he realized all I have to do is ring doorbells and they give me candy! Why hasn't anyone told me about this before?

The best Halloween night. The weather was perfect, almost too good. The kids didn't want to come in, so they got way too much candy. Tyler weighed his bag and had over 7 lbs-sick! Josh and Emily were excited to have 3 regular size candy bars and a King size bar as well-who does that? I remember the good ol days of dum dum suckers, orange pumpkin taffy, and being excited if you got a reese's cup. Pony rides around the neighborhood, donuts and movies and just being with our friends made for a great Halloween!

Cougar Tip off

Go Cougs! We are so looking forward to another great basketball season! We have our favorites from last year and have our eyes on a few returning players as well. The kids love going to the games and can't wait for cougar tails with Dad! Each year the kids pick a player to follow. They record their stats throughout the season. Emily and lucy were more interested in finding their dance teacher with the cougarettes :)

Emily showing off her new ball to get signed.

Tyler can always find a way to make it on the jumbo tron!

This kids got moves!

Josh with his player Josh Sharp.

Ryan and Brock have a little joke every year with the poster signing. I'm just glad Brock is easy going :)

Tyler with our local favorite Tyler Haws.

And since they are all so original in their picks, Nate chose (any guesses?) ...Nate Austin.

The creamery was packed and sold out of cougartails so we stopped by Krispie Kreme on the way out. Their Pumpkin Spice is delish, but really we will eat any of them!

I just loved his face when we opened the box.

We're with you josh, thumbs up on a super FUN night!

Flag Football with Ty

These group of boys are seriously so fun. We had a blast watching them this year. Its a bummer it went so fast. They love playing under the lights. Tyler did great at quarterback and receiver! Even got himself a pick six.

Its too bad the season is over. You guys were so fun to watch!

Apple Picking!

So many apples this year! I miss the days of making apple cider, but i'll tell you what fresh apples from the trees can not be beat. We have so much fun with our cousins and I love that they are all great workers. Sauced, crisped or carmeled- We love them apples!
