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.

 

Ava soccer, we love fall

Ava had her first school soccer game last week at Battleground.  They won 6-0.

Ava really played great.

The girls came up Saturday and we went thrifting, looking for clothes for their Halloween costumes.

Saturday night group painting party, even Papa participated, turns out he's a speed painter.

The girls put together Halloween cookie houses

and painted a cute sign to hang on the porch.  

 

Josie playtime, twins shopping

Josie came over to play several times last week since she starts school this week.

She got a Barbie soccer outfit in the mail box, so we set up a field.  I sent a picture to Ava and Josie said to make sure to tell her it was pretend.

 Shopping Thursday at Ikea at Ava's request, she loves to look at the display rooms, we found a lamp and the girls got lint rollers. 

Friday we went to the mall, had lunch there and they played a game of chess to break up the boring shopping.  

 

Clark County Fair

We had a fun, but very warm afternoon at the fair. 

 The girls talked me into riding the roller coaster, scary, and another ride, but that one was fun.

We went Wednesday since Bridget was competing all day, she won everything while we were there. 

So impressive. 

Stopped in the butterfly house and fed a butterfly.

On the rides their hair was a constant problem.

Finished the day by winning stuffed animals.

 

Concert, Kalyn's shower, 15th Birthday

We bought Niall Horan tickets for the girls months ago, and last week it was finally concert time.

Lexi came home to go with them, cousin Adrianna went, too.  Mom and Dad took them to dinner first at Billygan's.

Ava sent me this photo from their seats when the opening band was playing.

They said it was a really fun night.

Saturday was Kalyn's shower, lots of food, games, and she received many nice gifts.

And now they're 15, how does this keep happening?

To think they'll be learning to drive makes me crazy.

Dad and Harper made the cake.

Cousin Rachel brought Noah and Jude.  Noah loved all the games.

 

We just got Katelyn's senior pictures, taken at Pearson Field.  

They are so nice, when I figure out how to download them, I'll post more.
