Jaydon is the big 1-0 !

Guess who is 10!! Wow, we now have a kiddo in double digits...where does the time go? We had a great time celebrating Jaydon at a pool, soccer and basketball party (our clubhouse has the pool with a basketball court and field for soccer attached to it - perfect)! He had a great time playing with friends and enjoying being 10!

Jaydon still loves math, he is getting into reading some great books, he plays piano, soccer, basketball, baseball and football. He made honor roll at school. He enjoys games with his family, cribbage and chess are current favorites (he crushes me in chess, thank goodness his Dad can still beat him and keep him thinking). He can push the limits at times and can still pick on his sisters (does that ever end...). We sure love him and hope he has another fabulous year!

Lucy Turns 7!

Happy Birthday Lucy! We enjoyed getting to celebrate Lucy and took her out for a fancy ice cream treat, opened some presents and enjoyed a fun park (yep outside at the park in late March) party with her friends. 

Lucy is such an amazing little girl. She is so strong and passionate. She loves horses, games, gymnastics, reading, playing with her friends and helping. She is always the first to volunteer to help with a job around the house and definitely plays the role of peace maker well. She is intelligent and kind, she has earned many awards for her work ethic, character and just general goodness. It is a pleasure to be this girl's mom! We love you Lucy-Lu!

Odds and Ends of October

October was a busy month. We had 3 sets of family visit, celebrated Kate's birthday took many fun outings exploring the area and of course had Halloween to celebrate. This post is the odds and ends of Oct.
Jaydon really got into cooking, he was excited to make these cookies with help from Granny! Kate really just came along for the photos and to do a little decorating.


Kate helped make dinner one night with Granny
This cat bed Jeremy bought Lily for the drive down to our new house has been a hit with her!
Jaydon continues to wow his teachers and does a great job at school
Jaydon had a huge bike accident and fortunately was wearing his helmet. His was definitely sore but luckily only had a couple bad scrapes on his face and nothing more serious.

Kate (and Lucy though Lucy's class was when the gym was super full so I didn't get any pics) did a gymnastics class through our local parks and rec. They both enjoyed it but are both ready to be enrolled through the actual gym facility not the parks and rec for next time.



Kate enjoys reading stories
I took this pic and sent it to my family as proof it did rain! This was almost 2 months after we had moved in and it was the first precipitation we had, the kids were also out at the playground within an hour of it ending!
Jaydon created this ship at Cal Fit (the gym we go to) and wanted a pic

 We came home with balloons from Kate's party and Lily was in heaven!





Grandpa and Nana came into town and we ate out on the river boat and toured the capital, it was fun.


Grandpa and Nana's dog Ziggy.
I got invited to bunko night and enjoyed meeting a lot of women who have kids at school with my kiddos.


One bummer is we missed the Leighton's Halloween Pumpkin Party for the first year since it restarted. Luckily Jen and her family attended so I got some pics from afar.

The Leighton's Halloween Party

What does E want to be for Halloween...a pirate, cat/mouse, firefighter!

 We had another fabulous time at the Leighton's pumpkin party


All kinds of yummy (and mostly healthy) Halloween treats

Auntie Wendy, rocking her costume that we have picture evidence she also wore back in the mid-late 1980s

This sequence cracks me up. A is ok, then he sees Jaydon's head is covered, then he is not ok


Trying to wrangle the kids for a group photo


Success!

Look at those cute shirts!
Thanks for another awesome year and wonderful party Nona and Papa
