Papa's b'day, tire changing lesson

Papa celebrated his 82nd birthday quietly, the girls made him a cake and Nancy and the kids took him out for lunch at Olive Garden.

The family that nose strips together stays together?

And we put the tree up extra early this year.

Movie watching time, Wild Robot was a good choice.

On the way back Sunday we had a flat tire on the highway just before Ridgefield.

Papa had watched a YouTube video tire changing video on the new truck so it only took

about 20 minutes and we had it changed out.

It was also a learning experience for the girls.

Love Hattie's sweet face, she came over yesterday for some play time.

Halloween

Our three trick-or-treaters were the cutest ever.

Charb sent a picture of Ava and Harper and their friends as Wizard Of Oz characters.

Josie came over today for some Barbie action.  She's such a funny girl who loves to tease Uncle.

 

Macee/Tierney shower

Macee and Tierney looked so pretty and happy at their combined baby shower. 

Lots of friends and family and wonderful food made it a great day for everyone. 

Life long friends and teammates Kenzie, Tierney, Maddie (with newborn Scottie) and Macee- how incredible that they were all pregnant at the same time.

Tierney got some practice with Scottie.

The cousins back together again.

After the shower the girls spent the night. We made fall wreaths, painted Christmas pictures, made a Halloween craft and watched Coraline, 

 

Halloween Batman, Ava's rainbow game, Homecoming

Had to get a picture of Harper in front of Dad's Halloween yard decoration.

Harper took this picture of a rainbow over Ava's game Monday, they beat Kelso 3-1.

She played her last game Tuesday, a 5-2 win over Skyview and another undefeated season.

Oh my gosh, their gorgeous Homecoming pictures, how did they get this old so fast?  

 

Hattie playtime, Ava soccer

Friday we got some playtime with Hattie.

She loves to dump out all the blocks.

It was funny when she got into a box of Kleenex and 

pulled them all out.  

Ava with a stop at her game Saturday against Puyallup.

It was one of their toughest games but they won 2-1.

Ava played so well.

 

James b'day, Josie time

Friday we went to James' birthday party at Alan and Vera's, it was his Golden birthday.  It was great fun, and we got to meet Brentley!

Such a sweet baby girl.

With Auntie Emmy.

Michelle always takes a picture of James and I at every party.  I love that, he's so special to me.

Uncle got into the action, too.

 

Somethings off here, they're so big... 

Josie came over to play.

She got some quality Barbie time with them.

On our Saturday garage sale and shopping trip, we had to stop at the Halloween store, some scary stuff in there.

Fun day with Hattie, Ava soccer

Hattie a whole day with us last Thursday.  

She's so fun, jabbering constantly.

Such a sweet little girl.

Friday we picked up Harper and went to Ava's game at Doc Harris.

Their friends Sally, Sadie, and Ella came, too, they had a sleepover at Sally's later.

When the other team didn't show, Ava came over to tell us they were scrimmaging with the JV for half an hour.
