Day Off From School

And this is how they fill their time!!

Thankfully, a foam sword and plastic knife are not too dangerous.

Precious Memories

I've always loved this picture of Bryce's hands and Grandma's hands.

Thanksgiving 2006 with Grandma and Grandpa.

We miss you Grandma.

Our Last Two Weeks Pictures

Aubree and Daddy

Sunday afternoon hike at the lake

This seemed to be the best way to pick up the shells so no one had to get wet or fall in.

We did remember to take Bryce's glasses off.

Are We Invited?

The word invite has been used a lot in our house lately - the kids have been invited to a couple of birthday parties, we've talked about wedding invitations and just yesterday mailed shower invitations for Aunt Karen and Uncle Scott.

Yesterday afternoon, we stopped for a funeral procession to pass. The kids asked whose funeral it was. Then Aubree asked if it was for Mr. C (An extended family member that passed away on Thursday.) I told her that his funeral was on Sunday. In all seriousness Aubree says, "Are we invited?" I wanted to answer her respectfully but she really caught me off guard with her question, I had to pause and keep my grins to myself. Then, I explained that there were some events you were invited to attend and others, like funerals, that normally you can just attend out of respect without an invitation.

Fall Festival Pictures

Fall Festival with Homeschool group at Warehouse. Donut eating game. She was so funny trying - I think she got one little bite. But then she got to finish the donuts!

Donut Face!
While at the party, Bryce got involved in a mean game of dodge ball and took a hard hit to the face AND glasses. Thankfully, the technician at Costco fixed them up like new!!

Our Cinderella!!

Our Pirate!!

They had a blast at the Fall Festival at church. Bryce played games and accumulated a lot of candy. Aubree went back and forth between the big slide and jumping castle.

We finally got her to change clothes. And she got her face painted. She picked these out (she has a puppy dog on the other side.)
