Sibling love

Avery and Blake are getting to the stage where they are fighting what seems like all the time. However-I managed a photo of them just loving on another.

Jay's visit


Zach and Andrew's nephew Jay

The boys took a ride on the Buff' fire truck during the Friday night parade the night before the game.

November was really the start of our crazy holiday season. We had our nephew Jay come down for a visit from Idaho for a weekend of football and fun. He and Zach had a great time and Avery and Blake loved having a new face in the house. The last time we had seen Jay was in the summer of 2006 so we were so happy to have him come visit again.

Happy Halloween!

Spartacus and ....Josh?



Flounder



Ariel the Little Mermaid!

We had a great time on Halloween! I attempted to make Avery's mermaid costume. It wasn't bad for the first try even though it looks nothing like the pattern that I bought. I was just thankful that she didn't step on a fin and have the whole costume fall apart. Our neighbor was kind enough to let us borrow their son's Flounder costume from last year. So they made quite a pair. Blake had fun and was so excited after every house that we went to. He would say trick or treat, say thank you and then run back to us at the wagon with a huge smile on his face and dump out his candy into another bag. Classic! I may try to post the video of it too. Zach after weeks of not knowing what to be decided on Spartacus as it was one of the only costumes left at Target the day before Halloween. I did make him read up on Spartacus in the morning so he did know a little about him....although-ultimately, his favorite part of the costume was carrying a dagger of course. His friend Josh also came to trick or treat with us in the neighborhood. Our friends Lance, Meghan, their bun in the oven joined us with their dog Bosley.

Zoo day with Granny!




When Andrew's mom was in town last month we took the time to go to the zoo! Here the kids were on merry go round. I have no pictures of Avery because she rode with dad somewhere away from Zach and Blake! But as you can tell they were having fun!


The first days of chilly weather came and it was nice to get our hats out so that the kiddos didn't get too cold!
Check out the pumpkins in the background!

My little princess posing with her pumpkin. I think she was hoping that it was going to turn into a coach to take her to the ball.


Pumpkin Patch fun!




Spending time at the pumpkin patch last week was a great day for the family. The weather was great and Avery and Blake and Zach loved picking out the perfect pumpkins. Zach of course chose the biggest one and Avery found a big one too. Blake found a cute little one and he and Dad even got to cut it off the vine together.




Who's the fireman?



Avery had a visit from the Fire Department at school. When we picked her up from school Blake was able to get a hat of his own. Combine that with his little firetruck and boy was he having fun! Can't you tell?

Happy Birthday Zach!




Look who's 9!
For Zach's birthday on September 26th, he had a couple of friends over. Here they were jamming out with Zach birthday gift-Rock Band! His friends Gretchen, Will and Josh came over and then Will and Josh spent the night. They didn't get alot of sleep but they had lots of fun!

Shopping with Kids????



Are we crazy?

Stephanie, Lynne & I decided to go to the mall with the kids....why? They were great. Here they all are waiting for us to pay at Old Navy. Caleb (Lynne's), Lauren (Stephanie's), Avery and Sofia (Lynne's).

Bath time




The kids love bath time.
They play together, they fight, but they do love each other.
Here Blake is drinking water out of Noah's Ark.
Blake loves to be snuggled up in his towel after bath time.
