Happy Halloween!

We hope you had a very sweet night!

Happiest Place on Earth

For four years, we have been talking about taking the kids to Disneyland when they were these ages... 12, 9, 6 and 4. No diapers, no naps, tall enough to go on most of the rides, but not too old to complain. Well, we did it and it was SO worth every second. We had more fun than we even imagined. The kids were all in heaven, and so were we. I think we might even do the next trip in 3 years!!! Thank you, Disneyland for a magical time.

Pumpkin Patch

I had to also include a few pictures of Aidan's soccer game this week... He was so cute... He ended being goalie for about 5 minutes, and it was interesting, to say the least. I think he danced the whole time... VERY entertaining. Can't wait for next week to see what he does...




We were able to go to the pumpkin patch yesterday... Everyone is very kind to me... they all wear their Halloween shirts, even Corey... They know that I am REALLY there just for the pictures... (and I guess a pumpkin or too....) We tried another patch out this year... There are so many fun ones to choose from around here. I'm not sure why, but I LOVE going. It's been a tradition for so long that October would not be the same without a trip to a patch.

sports galore...

This fall has been a flurry of activity... Austen's been cheering every Saturday for her favorite football team!! She looks adorable out there, and really doesn't stop when she gets home... the cheers continue all week long.

Noah has been doing cross country as well as soccer practice for the past few weeks... he is working HARD, to say the least... He loves it, though... When he comes home from cross country as red as a tomato, the last thing I expect him to say is, "That was fun!", but he does!!!

Soccer games started yesterday for Ellie and Noah... they both did a great job... they are both new to the sport, but they dove right in and did their best. Every time I caught a glimpse of Ellie's face, she was smiling. I'll take that as a good sign! Aidan actually starts next week... that's when our Saturdays will get very interesting as we juggle four kids and four locations and times. Wish us luck...
