Scarecrow Day!!

Emm had an Activity Days Awards ceremony and part of the fun was she and I each getting to paint each others' faces like a scarecow. It was a wonderful day where I could get to spend time with just myself and Emily.

Emily and the pumpkin that we decorated :)

It was Jase's 35th b-day and we had the family over to celebrate!
The girls made him this hat and they were so proud of it and were so excited that he wore it for them. I know he probably was a little nervous about wearing it, but it totally made the girls' day as you can see in the photo below.
The kids got Jase this really cool dragon figurine and I lucked out and picked him up a Greg Olson print. Greg Olson was at Costco and was signing his work, so I picked up one for Jase that he signed on the front and back, wishing Jase a happy 35th and then one for our family which he signed and then on the back wrote something special to our family.


A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It was a beautiful Sunday after church and we decided to take the kids to the school so they could ride their bikes around. It was 87 degrees and for mid Oct it was still pretty warm.
They had a blast which was why we went in the first place. We stopped at the park on the way home so they could play some more.
Some of our friends showed up a little later on and we chatted and the kids played together.
Tori on her bike, we are trying to convince he that the training wheels have got to go!!

Hudson zippin around!

Max is so excited that this year he can bring his bike and ride around with the kids. Last year he was still too small and didn't really get the concept of what made the wheels move!!


Emm and her pink bike! She, like Hudson has picked up bike riding very well and loves to jump the curbs and zoom all over.

Post Soccer Practice...

Tori had decided that she wanted to change over from dance to soccer and so far she seems to love it. It is great for her high energy little body!!!
After practice I let the kids play at the park and on this night it was a beautiful warm night and the kids didn't want to leave!
I can't believe my baby is getting so big!!

The four turkeys!

Tori and her pink skull t-shirt with the bow on its head, she loves this shirt!
Somehow, this suits her more than a delicate dance dress, haha.
