Fall Photos

Keilah and I went to the Reis Family pumpkin patch today.  We picked a pumpkin, played with friends, went through a "maze", looked at farm animals, AND launched a pumpkin with a giant sling!!  That was FUN!

 Here are the boys' school photos.  Third Grade and Kindergarten.  Their class photos are fun too, they actually had the classes pose together for one photo.  The last 2 schools we've been at just made a collage of the individual photos and called it a class photo.  :(

Soccer Photos 2012

Here are my handsome boys in their soccer photos.  Silas is on the Yellow Jackets and Zeke is on the Purple Panthers team.  In a couple of years I'll be able to add Keilah's soccer photo.  Sigh.

Another Bike Rider

Zeke said he'd agree to try it after he turned 6.  So we took off his training wheels... and he took off!  Woo Hoo Ezekiel!!

Happy Birthdays

I can't believe how old my kids are!  Silas turns 9 soon, Zeke is now 6, and Keilah is a few months shy of 4!  The kids decorated their own birthday cake.  I think they did a treat job for a first time.

 We celebrated their birthdays today with family after watching Silas and Zeke play soccer.  It was a fun day.

Soccer Season!

 Soccer season has begun!  Our first game was with Zeke's team - the Purple Panthers.  Zeke scored the team's only 2 goals.  Yes, he's a head taller than all the other players, but he's only older than 1 of them.

 Silas ran hard for his team - the Yellow Jackets.  I'm sure we'll see a lot of improvement by the end of the season.  He does have some bragging to do though.  His STAR test scores came back from last year and he scored 96-100% in all categories (mostly 100%)!!!!

Keilah's just as cute as ever!  And silly.

Triple Bunk Bed

After 2 weeks of working in every spare moment I had, I finally finished the triple bunk bed for the kids.  They love it, even Silas up in the clouds.  Keilah was outgrowing her toddler bed, so rather than add a twin to their room I made this.

Cardboard Boat Race

The youth of the church had a multi-stake activity that included a cardboard boat race, BBQ, and dance.  Chris is one of the youth leaders, so he helped them design/build a cardboard boat.  There were about a dozen entries, but the surf was really hard to get past.

 The boat floated fine, but getting into it was a challenge.

 This is what it looked like in the end.  The boys ended up swimming.  But my what fun!
