Santa

We went to the Bass Pro Shop for our annual Santa visit with the Kline family.  I was really surprised that Madden did so well with Santa!  I thought he was going to freak out but he didn't mind at all.  Heisman asked Santa for Zoomer, the robot puppy.  After we saw Santa we had supper and then checked out all of the neat stuff in the store.  While we were back by the big fish tank in the back I lost Heisman!!!  He was with Carter and Cale playing in the hunting tents and I went to go tell Kelly that I was taking Heisman to the bathroom.  When I walked back over to the tents the boys were hiding.  I found Carter and Cale but could not find Heisman!!! Ahh!  Kelly and I split up about 2 minutes later we heard on the loud speaker, "can Kim and Tony please come to the service desk." Luckily Heisman wandered up front and the employees noticed he looked a little lost and asked him if he was looking for his mom and dad and asked if he knew our names.  Whew!  I asked him where he went and he said he didn't see me so he went to find me.  He must not have seen me walk over to Kelly and then decided to try and find me.  Anyway, we survived!

Christmas tree

Heisman was ready to put the Xmas tree up about a week before Thanksgiving because we had a light snow one day.  I made him wait until after Thanksgiving.  He was such a big help!  He did most of the bottom branches and I put on the top rows and lights.  We don't have many ornaments on the tree because I was nervous Madden would attack them but he has been great with it. 

First snow

Our first time out in the snow this winter was fun!  This was actually Maddens first time in the snow ever.  He had a hard time walking in all of his gear and didn't really like wearing the gloves but he got over it quick.  The snow was super light and fluffy so we couldn't have a snowball fight or even make a snowman :(  Maybe next time.  Heisman and I took Madden for a walk and he just loved being outside.

Kid Captain

Heisman and his cousins got to be Kid Captains at a UNI football game a few weeks ago.  He had a blast!!!  Tony and Jeremy took the boys over and they said it was an amazing experience.  They were down on the field for the start of the game.  Their names were announced over the speakers and put on the big screen and they ran out with the football team.  They were also a part of the coin toss.  After watching on the side line for a little while they all went up to the suite and attacked the concession stand!!  So fun for all of them :)
