Carving Pumpkins

We helped the boys carve their pumpkins on monday and it was a lot of fun.  They are starting to get the hang of it and did most of it on their own.  Annie enjoyed it too, she really got into digging the seeds out of the pumpkins. It was a lot of fun and they did a great job.  They even drew their own face to carve.

The boys picked rather large pumpkins this year.  I thought this shot was funny because it looked like Kyler's head was popping out of the pumpkin.

Angel's Shower

Angel found out she was having a girl and so Sharon threw her a shower. Angel got many wonderful gifts all very girly and so cute! Of course I did the cake, it was a challenge but a lot of fun and it turned out pretty cute.

Here is the cake.  It was a baby rump and feet.

Soccer is Done

The boys just finished another season of soccer and it has been fun! Although we didn't have a free Saturday with 2 games on each, we loved watching them grow and learn. Kyler is now able to get the ball and dribble down the field, he is pretty fast at it too...now we have to work on the follow through.  He loves being out there but by half time is ready to do something else as is most of his team...must be the age.  Conner has been excellent at watching the ball on offence and defence and is getting pretty good at getting up there and kicking it.  He really does well at goalie, I have never seen him attack the ball so much he just gets up there and pounces on the ball! I Am so proud of them both, way to go boys!

15 Months

Wow! Annie is growing so fast! She loves water and being outside. So she has thoroughly enjoyed the rainy weather we have had and will stomp in all the puddles. She also loves being chased.  She has great fun opening and emptying the cupboards while Mommy makes dinner.  Annie is starting to talk a little and says shoe (when she wants to go outside), this (when she sees something she wants to eat), hi (all the time especially to Daddy when he walks in the door). Annie also loves to sing and dance.  She loves to spin in circles and run everywhere!

 Annie loves to put blankets on her head and run around laughing. It makes us all laugh...so here is our little ghost.

 Annie on the move as usual with her brothers chasing her. She is delighted!

 Annie loves to sit on the big tonka dump truck and roll down the driveway...if no one is there to help her she will hop out push it up the drive way and hop back in as it rolls down.

Annie likes to play soccer with her brothers.



Annie loves to dress up.  She likes necklaces, glasses, purses, tutus and shoes.  She is a girl through and through!
