Family Pictures

I just wanted to share the family pics we had done last month. They turned out great! Erika Loveland did an awesome job and now I have new pictures to hang on my wall since our last ones are 1.5 years old. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

October Fun

Wow, October was a very busy month. We managed to squeeze in a few fall activities. Avery and I went on a farm field trip with some preschool friends. We carved pumpkins just before Halloween, and dressed up as a family like we usually do. This year we were Brave, we didn't have the same gusto this year for our costumes so we'll have to see if decide to keep doing big costumes as a family every year.

Josh and Avery helped carve pumpkins and Ethan......

was hiding because he hates to touch anything slimy and doesn't like to help with the pumpkins.

We didn't get as many pics as we should have but here is one from Michael's phone. Michael is King Fergus, I am Queen Elinor, Avery is Merida and the boys are two of suitors who come to marry Merida.

Ethan's 9th Birthday

Our Ethan turned 9 last month....I know he is getting so old. It was his year to have a birthday party with friends, but we couldn't think of too many fun things we could do just at our house. So we decided he could take just a few friends to play laser tag and get pizza for his birthday. It actually worked out really well. Our van was just big enough to load up 4 friends plus his brother. They started out with a prize bag on each of their seats and were all hyped up by the time we got to laser tag. I got an excellent deal once we got there that I wasn't even expecting, so each boy got to play one game of laser tag and then each had credits to play games in the arcade. After they played we ate pizza and cupcakes and then dropped everyone back off.

 

Ethan is a good boy. He still is really smart and does well at school. He is in cub scouts and is taking piano lessons right now. He is really into Lego Chima and his favorite sport is basketball. He is good at doing chores and loves to play outside with his friends in the community.
