Wrapping Up October

We got our preschool pictures taken on October 10th and I just loved how they turned out. 

I have eight children in my 4 year old class called the Whiz Kids. 

I have seven children in my 3 year old class called the Leaping Learners 

On the twins last day of soccer, I was in Utah judging the Miss Pioneer Valley Pageant, it looks like they were pretty geared up for their last game, complete with black eyeliner war paint.  

Daddy and Elizabeth worked on the Barbie Jeep 

Can't have an October with out pumpkin decorating!

Busy, Busy, Fall

We have had a CRAZY BUSY start off to the school year and fall. It seems like life just keeps getting busier with good things. We love that we are feeling like we fit in our community and are beginning to recognize people places and things are starting to feel familiar. These pictures did not upload in chronological order, so here it goes. 

On October 5th, we had a very busy Saturday. First, the ISU homecoming parade where the girls rode on the DSDS float. It was VERY cold when they got started, but by the end of the parade, the sun had come out and no coats were needed. It is always fun for the girls to be in the parade and this year Abigail got to actually dance in the street. 

We then went off to the twins soccer game. Their team is called the green dinosaurs and the coach very creatively puts a green dinosaur on the goal that the kids are supposed to kick the ball to. 

We then, celebrated Carson's 1st birthday with a Wreck-It-Ralph Theme. We thought this theme was totally appropriate considering Carson is Wreck-It-Ralph in one-year-old baby form. 

 Each of us dressed up as a character from Wreck-it-Ralph.

I decorated Carson's cake with this Wreck-It-Ralph Themed Cake-Topper Kit

 Emily - aka Taffeta, Misty aka a Nice-Lander, Abigail aka Sargent Calhoun, Darin aka Fix-It-Felix, Elizabeth aka Vinallope VonSchweetz, and Carson aka Wreck-It-Ralph

Enjoying his first taste of birthday cake

Gifts were very practical for Carson: clothes & sippy cups, he was a bit disappointed that the sippy cups were empty though. 

Happy Birthday to Carson with a vintage high chair from Heather & Shane.

Carson was lucky to have both sets of Grandparents at his 1st birthday, plus Uncle Mark, Uncle Eric, and Heather & Shane, what a lucky boy!

This little Chubbuck Panther is growing up on me. Sometimes I just look at her and am in awe that she is growing and changing every day. 

 More soccer: We have the two soccer players, their mascot a Carsasaurus, and their agent Abigail

Carsasaurus the Green Dinosaur mascot.

Tired Dinosaur

 It was time for Carson's first hair cut. I can't believe this baby of mine is growing up so fast!

The most handsome men in my life!

Grand Nan and Papa are visiting us because they just got released from their mission in Wyoming and of course the girls had to put a variety show on for them which included. A Spring Bees Puppet Show.

Break Dancing

and Piano Playing

Grand Nan and Papa treated us to a trip to see Odessy Dance Theater's Production of Thriller to watch Abigail's most favorite Dancer Mrs. Chyna Wesley. She wasn't quite sure what to think though when she found out that Chyna was a meal for a group of Vampires. 

 Carson on his first birthday. He got his shirt dirty before I could get a picture of him.

More soccer player fun. I just love these little Green Dinosaurs.
