Sesame Street Live!

At the beginning of May we got tickets to see Sesame Street Live. Ky was a huge Elmo fan last year but the show wasn't coming near Eugene. So, this year we scooped up tickets even though he was a little past the Elmo phase not quite sure how he would like it. Well, it was a hit. We were in the second row and Kylan was mesmerized the entire time.

Icee at intermission was a hit

Getting super close to Zoe

Ky's expression the entire time- he didn't want to miss a thing

Visting Grandma and Papa- a tractor ride is always a must

Grandma won a bike!!!

Ag fest in Salem- loving the big wheels!

Time flies

I ran into a friend a few weeks back and she commented on our blog "by the way your blog sucks, you haven't updated it in forever!" All I could do was laugh. She's right. Sorry! No excuses other than it just hasn't happened in like...um six months. So, moving forward I'll get to some pics.

 

Walking around Dorris Ranch

We woke up to six inches of snow. Yahoo!! Couldn't tell who was more excited mom or Kylan!!

Family, Christmas and Fun

So... I'm a little embarrassed it's taken me so long to make a post. I haven't forgotten, just been super busy. December was a fast and furious month for us. Kylan continues to love school and has made some special friends. His BFF is still Colton and his other special friend, Grace. I think it's his first crush :) She is the only one Kylan will hug first thing when he enters his class and he is frequently found snuggling on the pillows reading books with her. It is so sweet. As for Steve and I- we are both busy enjoying work. I LOVE my third grade class this year and I am learning a lot each week. Steve is super busy at work and doing well. In the fall he earned an award for exemplary sales in his division (Don't tell him I bragged, he'd be embarrassed).
Now onto the pics...

Decorating the tree-this one spot got LOTS of ornaments and was sagging by the end.

The Fortiers have Santa come over every year for cookies and story time. This year Kylan didn't want to sit on Santa's lap but preferred to tell him he wanted "toy story" for christmas from the side.

Watching the Fire Truck Light Parade with the Fortiers. Kylan, Matthew and Logan got very excited to watch the big trucks roll by all decked out in lights.
So glad cousins Nathan and Jason could come for Christmas this year! Kylan had a great time playing with them.

Great Grandma and Granddad watching the kids open presents- fun chaos!

Christmas morning- The Dreschels stayed with us. Kylan and Sadie waking up to see if Santa came.

Checking out the loot Santa left.

Eating the crumbs that Santa left behind- Kylan said "Santa was hungry!!"

Grandma Griffin made gingerbread houses with her grandkids- Kylan's turned out so cute! We were impressed that so much candy actually made it to the house!
Wishing you and your family a blessed new year!

Tractors, pumpkins, and a cowboy

What a busy October! Here's what we have been up to lately:

We visited Grandma and Papa in Klamath Falls and went to the annual Potato festival in Merrill. We got to see aunts, uncles, cousins and really learn how to collect as much candy as possible at a parade. Thanks Grandma.

Waiting for the parade to start

Riding in Papa's tractor was a big part of the weekend.

Helping with the leaves in the backyard. It doesn't look like it, but Kylan actually is a good helper and helped stuff 6 bags full.

Auntie Katie and Uncle Rick come to visit. We carved pumpkins and played with the guts. Kylan said "yuck".

A Ferry family tradition for Halloween- tying donuts onto strings and then seeing who could eat theirs first. Uncle Rick won- we think its because he has a height advantage.

Kylan had no problem devouring his.

We went to the pumpkin patch. Kylan running through the hay maze.

Giddy up! Our cowboy for Halloween.

Trick or Treating at Grandma and Papa's house. Kylan really figured out what it took to get candy. Say a few simple words and people would dump treats in your bucket. He could have done it all night. Too bad mom hid the candy the next day...
