....Random Pictures....

On one of our first "hikes", we discovered a plant called "Lamb's Ear". I'm sure it has many names, but I call it "Nature's Toilet Paper"...she thought that was really funny.





One of the coolest and creepiest things we've done since we got to Missouri was going to this maze in a huge corn field. I thought this was going to be like waist high, easy to get through....Nooooo...we're talking over 10-feet tall, miles and miles of mazes....we actually got lost in there. Laura and I managed to keep our composure, but we were secretly kind of freaking out. Finally, we cheated and went through the "walls" to get up onto a bridge (yeah, they had bridges that would go up over the stalks of corn)...From there we were finally able to figure out how to get out. The kids didn't want to go back...EVER! But it sure got a lot of their energy out....



One of our favorite things about Missouri is the change of the seasons. Vegas didn't really have that. The leaves turned the most awesome colors! This was one of our favorite trees we saw as we were walking along the Missouri River in Parkville, Missouri...a very cool little town.

Choosing our Christmas tree. We had a great time, although, it was FREEZING! I don't know if we're ever gonna get used to the drastic temperature difference between Missouri and Las Vegas...maybe we didn't hate everything (like the winter weather).

Taylor and Andrew with their Best Friends from Smithville Montessori Academy. In January, they'll be moving schools...AGAIN. They're gonna miss these guys (Taylor H. and Liam).

Taylor's Christmas Dance Recital...Why is it that they are NEVER in synch...oh, wait, I guess its because they range in ages from 3 to 5 years old....hmmm!

Just a funny picture of Andrew...he loved this "hat"...
