Thanksgiving Fun

Mom, Dad, Katie, Odin and Quinn all ventured to Stewartville to celebrate this year's Thanksgiving holiday.  Unfortunately, due to sickness, the Kauttos could not make it down to Stewartville.

 Aaron & Teri ran in Stewartville's 1st annual Turkey Trot.  

The weather was great... a tad windy but a great race.

 Come on GINGER!  Look at the camera! 

Good dog!

Singing... Pep Band... Concert... Super Fan...

It was a busy couple of weeks for the Simmons household.  

Take a peek at what we....well... mostly Aaron has been up to.

The volleyball made it to the state championship game.  

Aaron was caught on camera by a photographer from Rochester's Post Bulletin.

This picture came from the Stewartville Star.  

Aaron had me cut a mohawk and shave #6 on his head. 

He kind of looks like a thug!

Each day the student section dressed in a different color.  Saturday's game was black out.

One would think, Aaron is getting ready for trick or treating but he is actually dressed up to go to his honor's choir practice.  He practiced (along with 7 other SHS choir members) for two weeks before their concert in Pine Island.  He must not have scared the guest director too much... he was selected to sing a solo during the concert.

Here Aaron is singing part of his solo.

Aaron & I along with his friend Ethan and his mom, Julie, went to see 

Darius Rucker sing at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. We had a blast.

Odin & Quinn Spend the Night

What happens when two toddler boys stay over night at the Simmons' home?  

Of course, they get seriously injured and require immediate attention by Dr. Teri.   

It was a lot of fun having them at our house.

 However, we all forgot how much work two young lads can be!

Quinn's injuries required multiple bandaids and an ace bandage. 

You can see the intense pain on Quinn's face!

Seriously... 

All kids enjoy a tupperware drawer in the kitchen!
