Backwords!

Carson's been trying to come up with a few tricks of his own, since that what he see Tyson doing all day. His lastest is riding "little red" while sitting backwords.

Girls Night Out

I recently spent the night in Portland with my lady friends. They were going to Time Out for Women, but was just going along for the ride! I met them up there around 9 pm, checked into the hotel, which was amazing, then we walked to the Melting Pot for dessert. That is our waiter, eating our dessert with us! (he brought us extra dipping goodies for that)Hanging out in one of the many foyers of the hotel.


Relaxing in our room. We stayed up very late!

Soccer Party

The end of the year soccer party happened, and all the girls recieved their trophy. This was Sydney's very first trophy and she felt really special! It even had her name on it!

These are some of her soccer friends. You can see most of them are missing teeth. Sydney hasn't lost any teeth yet, and she keeps complaining that she's the only one!

Fall Family Pictures

I needed some family pictures for craft I am making at Super Saturday coming up. I asked my mom to take these pictures, but it wasn't until after we finished the "photo shoot" I realize that Carson still had ink on his face. You'll see a post further down in the blog explaining the ink. It's titled "Hitler".

Halloween and Grandma's House

We spent the afternoon making homemade for donuts, which would be for dessert later.

The kids found grandma's dress up trunk.

Stew in a pumpkin, a perfect halloween dinner. Erica made "little mice" which you can see in front of the pumpkin. They are made out of crushed chocolate cookies.

Spoooooooky

Yesterday, being Halloween, we drove up to my mom's house for stew in a pumpkin, and homemade donuts. We happen to pass a graveyard on the way, and since my kids have never been to one before, and it happened to be Halloween, we had to stop. The kids thought it was very creepy!

Hitler

Carson found a black stamp yesterday (Halloween) and started stamping his face. This is what he look like.

Trunk or Treat

Sydney got her face painted. I had to stop by Michaels craft store right after we cut Sydney's bangs, and they happened to be doing free face painting! So we got in line.

The church was having a trunk or treat on Saturday since Halloween falls on a Sunday this year. We brought our jack o lanterns and set them up to help decorate our trunk. It's never as much fun and real trick-or-treating, but it's better than nothing I guess. After the trunk-or-treat, there was a chili dinner inside the church. There were so many people and I wasn't feeling very well, so we only stayed about 15 minutes. All the kids cared about was the candy they got, so they didn't mind leaving.
