From Dixie to Dairy: October 2014

http://lkreitz.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 31, 2014. So we went the homemade route this year. Red shirts and tights, black shorts, orange belts, masks, and insignias made out of felt. Thank you, Pinterest, for the templates and tutorials! We debuted our costumes at our friends Kate and Matt's annual Halloween party. Here we are! The kids had masks and gloves, too, but they ditched them immediately.). There was even a bounce house that all of the superheroes enjoyed! Our hosts, the clown family. Fun games at Trunk or Treat! That wo...

From Dixie to Dairy: December 2014

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Model Trains, Holiday Lights, Cookie Making, and All Things Christmas. We were able to do some fun Christmas-y things with the kids this season. The first thing we did was visit the Lower Anthracite Model Railroad display. I had never seen a model train display before, and neither had the kids, so it was a real treat! They even had an elevated walkway for the kids, which was great, because as you can see the train display was taller than the kids are! Ok maybe tasting all of t...

Thursday, August 28, 2014. Collette's First Day of Preschool. Collette started preschool on Monday. She was completely. Ready to go, and has been asking about going to school for well over a year now. :) We have been on a count-down for months. Ha! She is enrolled in a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning program, and I know she is going to love it. The first thing we had to do to get ready for preschool was to get a hair cut! The ends were uneven, and it really needed it! Making her name tag craft....

From Dixie to Dairy: Kayaking on the Susquehanna

http://lkreitz.blogspot.com/2015/06/kayaking-on-susquehanna.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Kayaking on the Susquehanna. Trey was in heaven, because they gave water guns to each person. He spent most of his time filling up his gun and squirting whomever he could reach. Collette just wanted to swim. She spent more time in the water than on the kayak! She even got rides on the two guides' kayaks, which was big fun. We paddled right under a Bald Eagle's nest, and got to see an eagle perched in the tree. Very cool! She even managed to get our photographer. Ha!

From Dixie to Dairy: July 2014

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. The newborn stage goes by so quickly- babies grow so fast, and at the same time there's a lot of changes in the family as we all try to adjust to this new little person. Add in sleep deprivation, nursing around the clock, and c-section recovery, and it's a miracle I remember anything from the newborn stage at all! Which is why I love having pictures from this sweet stage to look back on. Here are some of my favorite pictures of baby Elliott. Trey in the middle, and then Elliott .

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. American Girl Doll Store Trip. Despite Erin not feeling the best, we had such a great time, and it was so fun for Nancy and I to see our girls really enjoying the experience! Collette had to buckle her three dolls into car seats for the trip to meet our friends! Erin loves superheroes, so we brought some fun superhero stuff from a party we attended. The girls had fun with it on their trip! Just a tad bit. And Erin thought the escalator was the best thing ever! After we finished at...

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Hello Kitty/Construction Birthday Party. We decided to not mess with a good thing, and did a combined birthday party for the kids again this year. Especially with other cousins birthdays, Thanksgiving, and the start of Christmas festivities, it is just so much easier to do it one time. Since we had a few seating areas, we set up a Construction themed table in the dining room:. And a Hello Kitty table in the play room:. Blowing out the candles! A new unicorn flashlight pet- c...

From Dixie to Dairy: January 2015

http://lkreitz.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 29, 2015. Yes, folks, Trey wants to "Transform into a Tractor Man! Oh, how I love this kid. Ever since he said that, he has been referring to himself as the "Tractor Man", or sometimes, the "Combine Man." The rest of the extended family has embraced his moniker, and will often talk about Tractor Man Trey. This one is my favorite! I love how they both have their hands on Elliott and he has his arm around his combine. Posing with their combines:. Cutest Tractor Kids around. :). But my goo...

Monday, February 23, 2015. Negative Forty and Still Smiling- Winter Vacation 2015. We took our annual trek to the Adirondacks in NY for the Presidents' Day Weekend. The kids had been looking forward to it for months, and had a long list of things they couldn't wait to do. And then the forecast came out for the long weekend, and it gave cold. A whole new meaning:. Oh, my. A high. So, we went snow shoeing to a frozen waterfall! By the end of the hike, the kids were shedding hats, scarves, and mittens. ...
