Fall Fun

We took our rake with us to the Arboretum for some fall fun, since all we have at home is lots of mud, sticks, and smashed apples in our leaves! :) It was fun. The girls had a blast...

Boys Fishing

Mike was able to go to the Tri-Cities and go fishing in the Columbia River with his dad and his Uncle Gary. Mike was such a stud that he was the ONLY one who caught anything; and he happened to catch 2 FISH! :) Good job Honey Buns! ;) That fish tasted mighty good too! We invited friends over and had some fun.

Sydney is 8!!!

I can't believe she is already 8! It's so weird! She chose to have a party at home this year with some friends. First, crafts and snacks after school.

On to the games...

Then, of course, they couldn't wait any longer.... presents!

Then a movie (yes, it was a long birthday party)

Sydney chose dinner, Pizza with Salad.

Lots of crazy playtime..... this little girl, Ashley, was a lifesaver! Brooklyn was glued to her hip almost the whole party. She loves babies. It was cute, Brooklyn liked her! :)

Candles, Cake & Ice cream!

8 girls total, including Livia. (Livia was happy that one girl couldn't come so she could have her goodie bag!) hee hee

Brooklyn liked the cake too. She's developing quite the sweet tooth!

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Sydney's Baptism!!

Sydney finally got baptized on Oct 8th because we wanted to wait until our parents came home from vacations, but it turned out being a great day with lots of family!

Kaity & Emmalee were so cute playing "ring around the roses"

Nana in the kitchen... I think she lived there all weekend. Thanks Nana!

Time to Chillax while Mike & Sydney went on their Daddy/Daughter Date to Applebee's.

Quite the spread, huh?!!!

We love you Sydney and are very proud of you! ;)

I'm back

Long story short...... I sold my computer, got a laptop, had a hard time putting pictures on it from Mike's computer. Didn't like it. I sold my laptop, stole Mike's computer, Mike got a laptop, and now all my pics are easy to see and use. SOOO.... now I can blog again without a headache! YEA!

Silverwood

We got to go to Silverwood this year, thanks to the Spokesman Review! They are celebrating Silverwood's 25 year anniversary by doing a big article on it, so they are having photo contests every month and Mike and I won first & second place! Woo-Hoo!!!! We never have enough time to see and do everything there, but we had a great time!

Sydney and I while waiting to go on Tremors! I was so surprised that she wanted to go on it! However, she did NOT want to go again! :)

Mike's Mom was able to come with us this year! It was fun to have her along!

Funnel cakes of course!

The wave pool was so fun! It was so nice and hot outside so it felt great!

Brooklyn wasn't with us because Mike's sister, Shalise was nice enough to babysit her ALL day! It was nice to get to go without worrying about her being hot, tired, wet, sticky, etc. It was such a fun day!
