The kids dressed as their favorite Disney characters and I took them to the mall to receive FREE Disney on Ice tickets. All 3 of them got tickets and I received a $10 off coupon
For Trunk or Treat at our church, C dressed as a wizard, Z was a girly pirate, and M was a good/bad witch!!
Ben was a tourist and here he is posing with another church member.
We picked a beautiful fall day to go outside and carve their pumpkins. They were in a lovey-dovey mood so I took advantage and snapped some great photos.
Precious!!!
Z with the gooey inside
C was proud of his "goo" or "brains as he called it.
M wasn't quite so sure.

They are tired of photos now. I got fake smiles.
Their school set up Trunk or Treat through the carpool line. Great idea!!!

Their kindergarten class went to the Pumpkin Patch in mid-October and had so much fun!
They had an inflatable park for the kids to play in and they spent most of their time on the giant inflatable slide.
The kids had never been to Chuck E. Cheese and we made a promise with them that if they read 100 books over the summer, we would take them on the day of their 6th birthday. Well, you guessed it. They read 100 books and then some! They were very excited to have worked so hard and then to be rewarded by all of the fun in Chuck E. Cheese.
My attempt at getting one good group shop of the day of their birthday. They were too tired and a little upset that we were about to leave Chuck E. Cheese.
Cashing in their tickets was excited but the gift choices weren't so exciting. I had more pictures to post from Chuck E. Cheese but every time I tried to upload them there was an error so I gave up after 5 attempts.
Waiting at home for their BIG birthday surprise.
They had been begging for Wii Fit and they finally got it!!
This year, we took an RV and stayed at an RV park in Perdido Key, FL for 4 1/2 days.
This is Z and C looking for hermit crabs and playing in the bay.
M in the bay. Notice the very pink face. We had just spent 2 hours in the ocean and then spent another 1 1/2 hours in the bay. I didn't reapply sun block as often as I should have!!
Z peeking out from under her hat.
C in the bay
Daddy working on "wetting a line" (That's all he did!!)
Looking at the beautiful houses on Ono Island.

M looks a little concerned coming down as her friend, P, watches
We drove over to Mobile to attend the wedding of one of daddy's old friends. The reception was at a golf course so I took the opportunity to snap some photos of the kids.
I love C's expression in this picture!
I asked them to pose for individual pictures and M immediately struck a pose.
Z struck a pose and kept saying, 'Cheese"
C getting low for the camera.
Z, C, the bride, and M
C, standing with all of the boys, waiting to catch the garter.
C caught the garter and proudly wore it this way ALL night! He also believes that he met his future bride that night. He never got her name but called her "flower girl" b/c she had on a floral dress. I hate that I didn't get a picture of her b/c she danced with him 1/2 of the night. Oh! Did I mention that she was 14 years older than him!
C.....having his dance with the bride
C playing "air guitar" and jamming on the dance floor.
All 3 "getting down" (or in C's case, getting up)
Z, C, M saying their goodbyes to the ocean on our last day there.
Z trying to catch something.
M looking for shells
M, in the water. C and friend, L, gathering water for their sand castle. And friend, P, gathering sand for the sand castle.
C working hard on his sand castle. We spent more time with our friends on our last day there. We are so thankful to be at the beach the same time they are. I think it is going to become a yearly tradition!!!
