Happy Halloween!!

Drawing Contest
Kelsey's Class


Courtney's Class

The Vampiress and the Pirate-who's peeking in the background?

Courtney, Kelsey and Kyler ready for trick or treating...

Here are some photos from trick or treating. Kelsey refused to wear her outfit for trick or treating. She did wear it for her party at school, so I'm hoping her teacher will send me some photos of her for me to post. Two of the photos are from the school's website showing the girls with their classes at the fire station. The other photo shows Courtney with her fourth place drawing of broccoli. The parent group at her school sponsored a drawing contest for healthy fruits and vegetables. Courtney's drawing will be included in a school calendar promoting healthy eating. You may recognize some of the other students who participated. Have a good weekend everyone!

Kelsey and Courtney....

No, Kelsey is not dressing up like Sarah Palin for Halloween. Although interestingly enough, Palin's maiden name is Heath. Courtney bought these glasses for dress up in the dollar aisle at Target. Kelsey was sick yesterday after school and we kept her home today. She's been running a temperature, but no other symptoms. We're hoping she gets better in time for her party tomorrow. She will be Sleeping Beauty this year.

Courtney lost another tooth today. She is missing three teeth on the top, which makes eating a little difficult. She is dressing up as a Vampiress-I'll post more pictures this weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Mike!

We'd like to wish Mike a very Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great day:)

Happy Anniversary!

We'd like to wish my best friend, "Rowe," and Cullen a very Happy Anniversary today! It was such an honor to play a role in your wonderful wedding and we wish you a year of blessings! Love to you, the kids, and your soon to be baby boy:)

Home Improvement Projects...

After....

Before....

With the help of his mom and sister, Eric was able to finish the cement step on the front porch. The next step is to get some stepping stones to lead from the step into the driveway. He was also able to hang the new blinds in our bedroom, which makes the bedroom makeover complete.

The girls have ice skating lessons tomorrow and then we may go see "High School Musical 3." Have a good weekend, everyone!

Sarah the Photographer

I borrowed this wonderful picture from my niece's Facebook page. She is a very talented young photographer:)

Fun Photos....

Heath Family Portrait...

Rene took some great pictures this weekend and we've really enjoyed having them visit. She even snapped our family photo which we plan to use on our Christmas card this year.

Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Miranda and Christian!

We'd like to wish our niece and cousin, Miranda a very Happy Birthday on Monday! We hope you have a super day:) We would also like to wish Christian a Happy Birthday on Monday as well. Thanks for being a good babysitter.....

A Busy Saturday....

Cheryl, Rene and Seth arrived here around 9:30 last evening. We all woke up early to take Courtney and Kelsey to ice skating lessons this morning, as we had to be in Watertown by 8:00 am. Then, we did some shopping at Wal-mart before going to the volleyball tournament at TZ. Courtney was very excited to receive a package in the mail from the Shakopee Smith's-thanks for the great gifts:) She especially liked the card and Webkinz.

When we got home, Seth and Courtney made a "Chill Zone," in the backyard. The "Chill Zone" was their own restaurant which charged $5 per couple for a meal. This evening we went out to eat at our newest restaurant in town, "The Buffalo Wallow," to celebrate Cheryl's birthday. Tomorrow is Sunday School, church and filming our Nativity play for the Christmas program.

Kelsey and her Puzzle

Kelsey received her book order today and was so excited that her Halloween puzzle came. She wanted to put it together right away and show all of you!! Cheryl, Rene, and Seth will be arriving tomorrow night and will stay until Tuesday. We are excited for their visit. Have a great weekend everyone:)

Happy Anniversary Warren and Ann!

We'd like to wish Warren and Ann a very Happy Anniversary on Wednesday! We hope you have a special day.... I just love this picture of the two of you:)

Kelsey loses a tooth...

Courtney and Kelsey spent the afternoon at Nate and Blake's house. When Kelsey came home, she was very excited to show us that her loose tooth had come out. We hope the Tooth Fairy remembers to take her tooth tonight (and leave her some money)! The other picture shows the jack-o-lanterns that Eric carved on Sunday.

Decorating Pumpkins and TZ Pride...

Eric and the girls spent the afternoon decorating and carving some of the pumpkins we received from Kelsey's teacher. Yesterday, we went to Fargo and saw the movie, "Beverly Hills Chiauha," it was ok-but not great. Today we went to church and stayed for potluck afterwards. We all have tomorrow off for the Native American Day holiday.

The girls are wearing two of the new winter hat designs Eric ordered---pretty cute:)

Happy Birthday Grandma Cheryl!

We would like to wish our mother, mother-in-law and Grandma Cheryl a very Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great day and are looking forward to your visit next weekend:)

Kelsey's Kindergarten Field Trip

I copied these pictures from the Sisseton school's website. They feature Kelsey on her recent field trip to the dairy farm. Notice her facial expressions....priceless!

Happy Birthday Nicole!

We'd like to wish our niece and cousin, Nicole a very Happy Birthday on Monday!

Saturday Sleepover and Pumpkin Time!

Hema, Sahali, Courtney and Skittles....
The girls and their pumpkins
A cloudy, dreary day

Courtney and Kelsey had their friends, Hema and Sahali spend the night on Saturday evening. The girls enjoyed playing Barbie idesign on the computer, drawing and playing-even Skittles had a good time:)

Kelsey's teacher, Mrs. Arbach, lives on a farm and has a very large garden. After church, she brought us 9 pumpkins to decorate for Halloween! The girls are very excited! It has been a rainy Sunday-I worked on my dissertation, took a nap, talked to mom and dad and baked a squash:)

Have a good week everyone...

September Student of the Month...

Courtney and her friend, Jalen, were chosen as 2nd grade "Students of the Month," for the month of September. We are very proud of her and Kelsey as well.....

Fall Ponderings....

We are really enjoying the beautiful leaves and Fall foliage---my drive to work each morning is absolutely gorgeous with all of the leaves changing. We have had a busy week, I attended conferences on Tuesday night (Eric was refereeing a volleyball match) and both girls are doing well in school. Courtney is receiving a "Student of the Month" award tomorrow-so I will be posting pictures of that this weekend. It will be a quiet weekend at home, which I am looking forward to---- I found this picture on a website-it's actually taken in Colorado.

Have a great weekend everyone:)
