Halloween

Trick or Treating group

Baylee, Amanda and Abigail

Halloween was full of school and neighborhood parties and a late night of trick or treating. The kids had a blast. Baylee was Hannah Montana (surprise surprise), Jake was Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Sydney was a cheerleader but just the week before she was the Little Mermaid. She could not decide what to be. When she was dressed as a cheerleader she kept on saying, "GO DADDY!" She really loves her Daddy!

The last week of October is a busy week for us. Baylee and Sydney's birthdays are 3 days a part and then Halloween is 3 days after Sydney. By November 1, I am so warn out from our week long of parties. Sydney has a buddy, Taylor, who is a day older than Syd. We are great friends with their family so we decided to celebrate their birthdays together. Sydney and Taylor wanted a Barbie cake and went shopping together for each other's presents. It is nice because they both love the exact same things.

Silly Sisters

Baylee found our Baby Bjorn and decided to put Sydney in it. Sydney loved it just like when she was a baby.

Baylee Boo is EIGHT!

Eating High School Musical star cupcakes.
Cute girls!

I just love the big wads of gum in their mouths.

Baylee's birthday was last Saturday and we had a busy day with soccer games, end of the season soccer parties and of course her party. She invited a couple of friends and we went to see High School Musical 3. It was a great movie, and I even got a little choked up. After the movie, we came back to our house for cake, presents and to dance. Having 5 seven and eight year olds running around singing and dancing to the HSM3 soundtrack was a little crazy. Travis was happy when the party was over. Baylee had a great birthday!

Pumpkin Patch

On the hayride

Baylee is the best big sister!

Crazy Jake!

Every year we love going to the pumpkin patch as a family. This is year we went to Lee Farms and loved their homemade doughnuts and apple cider, the hay ride, the hay maze and slides. We missed you this year Bigler Family (this is the first year we have been in Oregon that we did not go with your family, maybe next year).

Fall in Oregon

When you pull into our subdivision you drive on a road called Sunset that is lined with trees. For those that have been here, you know what I am talking about. This is my favorite time of year here because Sunset is covered with red, orange and yellow trees. Every year I have wanted to take pictures of the kids and this year I finally did it. We are so grateful to live in a place where we are surrounded with beauty. We tried to get a good picture where all 3 kids were looking happy and smiling but had a real difficult time. These pictures show their true personalities.

Meikles came to visit!

Jake and Lukey!
Caleb and Baylee were not thrilled we were taking their picture.
Baylee and Caleb act just like brother and sister, they wrestled all weekend. Baylee can hold her own.

Jess, Katie and their boys came for a long weekend the first of October. Jess and Travis were supposed to play in a softball tournament but it got rained out. (It is Portland.) We still had a great weekend, we always have fun with the Meikles. Katie and I took all the kids to the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) on Friday, we took my kids out of school which they thought was pretty fun! The adults went on a date, watched college football, Jess and Travis spent a lot of time in Trav's office discussing fantasy football, we all went to our kids' soccer games, celebrated Caleb, Baylee and Sydney's birthdays and had a great time! It was fun to see Katie's cute belly and we can not wait to meet their new little guy! Thanks for visiting us Meikles!
