Oktoberfest with the other Kuykendalls

We had a fun time at Oktoberfest with Joey, Alison, and Lauren.  I would love for this to be an annual event for our families.  The weather was so beautiful we didn't need the 8 jackets I was lugging around.  Thank goodness for strollers. :)  Here we are enjoying our dinner....sandwiches for the littles, bratwursts for the grown-ups. :)

 

These two are only 3 months apart...and as different as night and day.  I know they will be buddies. :)

Can you see the family resemblance?

Can't wait for next year!

Birthday girls

These girlies had birthdays in September.  We were so glad to celebrate with them since we usually are not together near birthdays. 

Another reason to celebrate was how well all 11 kiddos did during a 2 hour photo session!!! And that would explain why we look so nice for lunch at McDonalds. :)  Family pictures can be exhausting...we were pretty much wiped out for the rest of the day.

Fun times when we are together!

First Week of School

School has been going strong for a while now....but here are our "first week of school" pictures. :)  After the first two days the boys picked their favorite subject to be in the picture.  For the most part they are still enjoying their favorites. :) 

Jared Matthew ~ 11 years

Jesse Michael ~ 9 years

Justin David ~ 6 years (so close to turning 7)

John Russel ~ 5 years

another case of double trouble

Jud, sweet Jud, thought the twins might enjoy playing with a bag of hamburger buns.  They enjoyed it all right!

Round up Sunday

To kick start the fall season, our church has a history of Round-Up Sundays. Always fun to dress western for the day and enjoy food and fellowship after the service. :)
