The Pumpkin Carving Tradition Continues....

Austin got a half smile, half frown....he has his moments!
Katelynn drew her own spots for Papa to cut....then she made it into a cat! (just like her for halloween)

Austin loved digging in the pumpkin

Halloween Party!!

A fun Halloween Party at the Peterson's! We brought Batman and Katelynn the Cat! Heidi had lots of fun food, games, and crafts for the kids of course! Ask Joel how long he waited in the closet until I opened the door to put our shoes in!!!! I was just a little scared.

Homecoming weekend.....

Part 1...baseball reunion...9:00am! brrrrr...too cold to play so just coffee and rolls in the dugout. Coolest thing: Chris Coste brought his world series ring from the Phillies...it's huge! It's on my Mom's finger!

Gma brought "special" donuts for the kids!
Part 2.....Homecoming Parade....still cold, but better. We were all bundled up. Katelynn rode in a horse drawn carriage with the King and Queen. She brought along a bucket of candy and hot chocolate! Austin got completely muddy as he picked every piece of candy out of the mud! He loved every minute of it!

Part 3....Football game....didn't feel cold at all! Austin sat with me the whole first half and yelled "touchdown, first down, and football" the whole time! Katelynn was announced at half time and got to go out on the field. The Schwantz's headed home after that for much needed naps! (I took off for Toyland and had LOTS of fun!)

My Beautiful Little Crown Bearer!

Proud Grandma...Katelynn had quite a fan club there tonight! Both sets of Grandparents, Great Gma Cella, Aunt Heidi and Eli, Bryant, Rachel, Tyden, and us!!

So professional!

They had to stand together after meeting in the middle while they had little fun facts read about them!

Katelynn and Ian

Katelynn got the honor of being the junior crown bearer for Concordia's Homecoming Coronation tonight....her sidekick was her little friend, Ian, from Cobber kids...they were the cutest!

Rachel was an escort for one of the candidates for Queen (who actually won!), Bryant's cousin was crowned King...very neat! I was a crown bearer when I was little.....the tradition continues I guess. Katelynn did a great job and looked beautiful!
