Laine's 1st Dance Recital

Laine's first dance recital was outside in a park as part of the Umatilla Christmas Cracker Festival and Parade. She danced to "Jingle, Jingle, Jingle" and did a great job. She knew all of her steps but forgot to smile. Mommy caught her eye one time and she gave us a quick smile then it was back to business. We all can't wait for the big recital in the Spring.

Garrett Soccer

Garrett is really enjoying soccer. He moved up a level this year so he isn't scoring quite so many goals but has had his fair share. He is fast and all over the field. It can be hard to watch and keep track of where he is. Sometimes so many feet are flying, you don't know who scored the goal until Garrett runs down the field fists in the air. Go Garrett !!

Happy Halloween

We made fun Jello desserts for Halloween, green brains and bloody hands. The kids loved them.

We cheated on pumpkins this year but aren't they cute!

What a nerd !

Michael Phelps, 8 Gold medals and all.

Beautiful Belle, Where is The Beast??

Between Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween, Trunk-or-Treat and the neighborhood, the candy mound covered our dining room table.

CRAZY !!!
