Halloween 2010

The Bauer's go Wild West. Cowboys and Indians. Kaylee was going for more of a Pocahontas look.

First bag of candy of the night. We went by Kaylee's teacher's house and Tyler was ready to Trick or Treat after that.

After we left Kaylee's teacher's house we went by a couple of church members houses and then went to a neighboring town were some of our church members live. We took this trailer to Trick or Treat from to save the kids from walking a lot because we didn't go house to house. Notice the ghost on the other side of the trailer. This is the preacher's wife's grandmother. Her house was the first stop in Winona.

The next stop was at the house of an elder and his wife, which happens to be the preacher's wife's parents, went all out. She dressed up and had apple bobbing and other activities. He jumped out of a closet with a Scream mask on. You had to have been there.

The whole crew.

We then set out to trick or treat. This is the first year we have actually ever "Trick or Treated". In years past we have done Trunk or Treat in Kosciusko but we couldn't make it this year. We ended the night at a church members house where the kids roasted hot dogs and we had hot sandwiches, soup and chili! I love Fall!!!!!!!

Tharp Hayride

A couple from church had a harvest party at their house a few weeks ago. We had a blast. Lots of games, food and beautiful weather. The pumpkin roll, seed game, corn toss, hat game, toy/candy walk, a pumpkin patch and we ended the evening with a hayride. It was chilly but not to cold you couldn't enjoy the hayride. Thanks Jeff, Rachel, William and Chloe!

The hat game was like muscial chairs but with hats. You stayed still while the hats moved. It was played to the song of Cotton-eyed joe. Tyler had to dance!

Tyler just wanted to play in the left-over corn.

Getting her pumpkin for the "pumpkin patch"

More Panther Football

We are down to one more game before play-off time. It has been a fun season for us fans.

Kaylee amazed by the Cheerleader's performance.

My future Panthers.

We miss our Whitney!

I mentioned Bruce in a post sometime last year. He is a very special person. He and Tyler have daily dialogues that only the two of them understand. He is a huge Panther Football fan and goes to all the games encouraging cheers from everyone. His mother says that since they have been here volunteering on campus his vocabulary has increased a lot. Everybody loves Bruce and Tyler really loves his Bruce.

Mini Cheer Camp 2010

Kaylee took part in her annual Cheer Camp a few weeks ago. The performed at half-time on that Friday night and this year they performed an encore during half-time of the Homecoming game. She never missed a beat and was all business! Notice the cheerleaders moves and hers.

Are You Ready For Some Football! (& Softball)

Our life lately has involved Pep Rallys, Football and Softball games. The kids enjoy all of the outside play but I'm about ready for a break. That will not come for a while however. Basketball practice starts October 18th. At least Softball season ends Thursday. It will now switch from John and kids to Mom and kids. I'm ready to be home with them more.

Kaylee used to be deathly afraid of the Panther. Tyler has never been afraid. In fact he follows him up and down the field yelling Pan-der. A few weeks ago Kaylee made a drastic change and she now loves the Pan-der.
