Pumpkin Patch

Avery and Mikaya helped me get ready for an art lesson for my Achievement Day activity, with the 8-9 year old girls.

Coral's team has played five games so far and they are undefeated! She is very aggressive out on the field and the whole team of nice girls works well together. She usually only does one sport at a time, but decided to do gymnastics at school to prepare for the spring season also. She is very busy with homework too, but still finds time to have fun with her friends. Avery was pretending to be Coral and she said, "I'm Coral and I do homework all the time." (Avery pretends to be Belle, Cinderella, Princess Fiona, Mikaya, a dragon, or Coral pretty much all the time lately.)

Halloween Dress-up

Every year we get the Halloween costumes out, watch a movie, carve pumpkins, frost cookies; hula dance on top of boxes, that sort of thing. I love Halloween! Avery and Mikaya really got into dressing up in costumes. Fun times.

Some of our good family friends back in Indiana are Justin and Dani and their family. Dani came to see me and the girls, on a vacation out to San Diego. It was great to see her and get to talk to her!

Funny Mikaya

Mikaya is always cracking us up. In the one picture she has tomato soup all over her face, body, highchair (even the wall!)

Here are a few of our family photos for this year. We did them at the beach like last year, but this time some family friends did them for us, instead of the tripod doing all the work. Great job, Will! He was able to make it look like we were the only people on the beach, when in reality there were tons! And, Jessica was able to help us get everyone looking in the right direction and mostly smiling, which is virtually impossible at times with little ones! Thanks!
