Conference Fun

This year at parent teacher conferences there were fun stations set up in the gym for children to do with parents.  Adam and Addison got to do them on Tuesday! Addison loved playing in the gym with Dad!

Thursday he was able to show his sister as well!!

Updates...

Addison made it through his first 9 weeks!!  He did GREAT on his report card and got two awards at the Awards Assembly!! One is called Enormous Effort and the other was for a Great Job in Physical Education Class!  We are so proud of him!! He also did a great job singing this morning at church! 


Ayla is doing great in school, haven't got her report card yet..  But she is doing GREAT in gymnastics, the coach wanted to move her up two classes!!  We are going to just try one for now, she is moving up to Level 2! She loves it and looks so little flipping around!!


Last week was a busy week..... Thursday on my way home I got a phone call from mom saying my Grandpa was in ER.  I went to the hospital and he was in ICU having surgery.  He was in lots of pain and had a bad hyernia (sp?)  it was pinching off his intestine and he ended up having 8 inches of dead intestine removed and did well during the surgery which we were so pleased about!!  He is off of the ventalator and doing well at this point, but it was a scary evening, since his lungs are not in very good shape.

Trick or Treat

We had our annual Trick or Treat Party!! Our friends from the babysitter came over to trick or treat and have pizza. Ayla the poodle and Addison the giraffe had a great time again this year.  The kids were as excited as they are for Christmas, glad we started this little tradition!!

Ethan and Owen came but baby sister Caramia was sick and Elly was at her moms, we missed them!!

Here is the kids that went with us!! Pretty cute crew if you ask me!! We had about 20 people in our little group, we missed Hudson he was feeling under the weather so Tami stayed back with him.  I am going to steal a picture from his blog so you can see how cute he looked!!

Going to Diane's our first stop.

The Vincents went all out again, boy we sure are glad they started handing out candy again, the have a butler that talks and a bowl with a hand that grabs you when you reach in!

I was sweating even though it was chilly, it was so crowded and I was busy keeping an eye on the kiddies and pushing the stroller! We are so blessed to have great friends to share these fun holidays with!!

Little Hudson and Brax.. Football and Football player!

Pumpking Carving

Ayla's instructions for mommy to carve her pumpkin were circle eyes, triangle nose and sad face with two square teeth, Addison's instructions for Daddy were triangle eyes, triagle nose and smiley mouth with pointy teeth.  The kids loved carving this year.

There is a note on the door we were "booed" this year. I forgot to post about it, we heard a knock on the door the day Addison got stitches and found a black box with tons of treats, it was so much fun "booing" someone else, we went shopping and planned our drop off and surprised some buddies..

Addison's Farm, he built...

Addison took some photos asked me to put it on the blog.  This is what he wants to write about the photots.  This is the cow that is named black and white, the brown horse with white feet is named Horshoe, the two other horses are named Clancy and Booster and they are girls. The others on the other side behind are boys and the biggest brown one was named Speed, the little one that is brown has white shoes and its name is Elephant, the last two are named Tractor Farm and Fencedry.

This is a John Deere the  horse that you already heard about, there is only three in the girl pen. You already heard about Black and white and the other one is named Horn, they are cows. 

 You have already heard about Black and white and Horn, now we are going to move on to the Hairy cow, it is gray and white, its name is Woodsfight.  The other two cows that are black and white that do not have horns the one on the left is a girl named Tinkerbell the next is a boy and his name is Moose.   The just plain white one with horns and with the head down is named White. It is a boring name, the longhorn is named Longhorn, the next brown and white with white on its feet and head is named Kickstrength. 

You already heard about the front girls, the truck is the farmers truck and you can see the fences and this is a whole farm that I built.

On Saturday Addison, Ayla and I traveled to Chillicothe to celebrate Isabella's Birthday, they had it at a place called Cardo's. They had games, bounce houses and pizza. All of the kids are playing games here.

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday was a busy day for us, we had The Davis Family over for the day, we went to church to listen to Addison sing in the Children's Choir, then we came home for a quick lunch. Here is Grandma Becky and Grandpa Tom with Graham, Ayla, Claire and Addison.

Then we traveled to Dresden for Addison's last soccer game, the Ayla and Claire cheering on Addison's team!! They won against the tough black team!!

What a great season!!

Next we went to McDonalds corn maze, we made it through the White - tailed deer maze what fun!!

Trying to pick our our pumpkins.  The owner said the deer ruined 2,000 pumpkins this year so it was slim pickings!!
