Halloween Fun!

We have had such a fun Halloween this year. Friday was our ward Halloween Party and Trunk or Treat. Dinner was yummy and the kids had fun playing with friends and playing games. Trunk or Treats were great, too. On Saturday morning, we carved our pumpkins. Julia decided she wanted a heart nose and heart eyes on her pumpkin. Caroline drew her own face and even cut it out by herself. Brad only helped a little on the mouth. Erik decied he want circle eyes, nose and mouth. The best part of the day was going up to Brad's brother Richard's house. All the cousins came - 10 in all. The kids played and had fun, we all visited together. We had pizza, and appleas and caramel before taking all the kids out trick or treating. It is awesome to have all Brad's family so close. It is wonderful to have cousins close by. All in all, it was a memorable Halloween.

Campout

Chapman Hills Campout

We had such a good time a couple weeks ago at the girls' school campout. Caroline and Julia had a blast playing with their friends. It was such a fun experience sleeping outside in a tent. I really look forward to when the kids are ready for some real camping.

Julia's 5th Birthday

Julia turned 5 years old on September 13. I can hardly believe that my little girl is now 5 years old. We had a really fun princess party at the park with a group of her friends. We also celebrated at Disneyland, where Julia got her birthday gift card. SHe had so much fun shopping for a birthday present. I am so proud at how grown up my little girl is becoming.

Erik's Pacifiers

Erik loves his pacifiers. He found two of them out at the same time and couldn't decide which one he wanted to ues, so he decided to use both! Then, he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror and started laughing at himself.

The Girls' First Day of School

Carolne and Julia started the new school year at Chapman Hills. Caroline is now a big 2nd Grader. She is getting so big! Julia is a kindergartener! How can my sweet little baby girl be old enough for elementary school? They are both so smart and doing so well. I am so proud of them both.

Swimming Lessons

The kids had fun with swimming lessons this summer. Caroline is swimming so well now. Erik is like a little fish. He loves the water - constantly jumping in and blowing bubbles. Julia is a little nervous about the water, but she is improving.

Erik's First Day of Preschool

When Erik turned 2, he was able to start school at Clever Endeavors where I teach. I was so excited to have my little boy come to work with me and begin having enjoyable, beneficial experiences at school. Julia was excited to have her little brother at school with her. Erik has been doing incredibly well at school. He seems to have a lot of fun and he likes the teachers. What a big boy!

We celebrated Erik's birthday witha monkey theme party at La Veta park. it was a fun party - Erik had a great time. Our family was there, the Sperry relatives were still in town and the Manions - friends from church also made it. We played, had bubbles and balls for playing, there were snacks and even a monkey cake my mom made for Erik. It was a perfect party.
