Parade of Lights in Sioux Falls, South Dakota 2013.

 Why I love Neil! He is the best dad ever. He stud the whole time with Ty on his shoulders and kept Ty's hands warm, with his own, the entire parade. Neil is totally dedicated to providing the best to his family, no matter the pain and stress it causes himself.

 Only in South Dakota do they decoate and paint their snow plows! (and they don't even have a state income tax, maybe they could teach Iowa a thing or two!)

 Oh, the memories of Catfish Bay!

 Crowd warmers! The parade would have been half as long if there were not so many hot air balloon flames. But Ty would go crazy and shriek "Fire, Fire." for everyone just the same.

 Mom & the boys really enjoyed the various drum lines.

 11-29-2013. One of my favorite birthdays; spending the evening at the Parade of Lights in Sioux Falls, with the whole family. But I still want my cake!

Mac & Great G'pa Bob.

 On this trip to Sioux Falls, Mom and Mac visited with Great G'pa Bob and G'ma Darla without the whole gang. It made for a nice peaceful visit while Jack and Ty got their energy out at an indoor pool with Dad.

Jack o Lanterns 2013.

 Who said Jack o lanterns need to be carved before Halloween. Neil had been so busy with work that we didn't get around to slicing up our pumpkins until a couple of days after Halloween. The boys didn't mind, it was fun all the same.

Day after Halloween fun @ Miss Janet's.

 This year the boys went to visit Miss Janet for story time the day after Halloween. Jack was Spider man and Ty was a pirate. On Halloween night Jack was the Red Power Ranger  and Ty was an Astronaut. It was too crazy trick or treating with 3 boys to take any pictures, but they did hit the whole neighborhood with their friend Michael and half way through Sam also joined the pack.

Autumn Blaze Maple.

 10-25-2013. For once we actually got to enjoy the beautiful red leaves on our maple tree this fall. Normally by the time the leaves turn, the weather also turns, and it is so cold and windy that all the leaves fall off as soon as it turns color.

Skyzone Fun.

 Mom took the boys to toddler time at Skyzone. They had so much fun and they were exhausted after about an hour. Ty was to the point that he could hardly walk, he just kept falling down, but he thought it was hilarious. Jack had started to loose his ability to climb out of the foam pit and Mac was just starting to get hungry/fussy. We will definitely need to do this again this winter.

Yes, we still have the dogs.

Mitch is getting to be an old man as well. Mitch is now Six years old, he often is very slow to stand up or move if he has been sitting or laying for any amount of time. He sure loves to play with the boys and perks right up for treats or food.

Old Man Conner. I think he is 10 years old now. Wow, he has changed...but everything else in life has as well. 

Football Night @ the Rezac's.

What a big boy! He has had a formula bottle probably less than I have fingers on my hands, all natural chubby baby.

Rub a Dub, Mac's in the Tub.

A couple of wild and crazy guys!

These crazy guys had a blast helping mom make pancakes or her go crazy one or the other. 

Mac, all eyes on Miss Janet.

At the Grimes story time again, but this time it is Mac who is concentrating on the story. 

Happy Tummy Time.

Ty in the Thomas tunnel.

More Ty in the tub.

Again, Ty is in the tub. Ty has become a big fan of the fo hawk, he asks for it almost daily. 

Grimes Story Time Fun.
