Fall 2011 Pictures

Picture time! I scheduled pictures with my friend Kelsey. The day before pictures I get a call from the nurse at school telling me Gavin got hurt on the playground and they put on a butterfly band-aid. I hadn't even thought about pictures until later. I didn't want to reschedule so I asked Gavin if I could take it off for pictures and put it back on. He started crying saying the nurse said he had to keep in on until Monday. So I decided to do pictures with the band-aid. I think the pictures turned out cute and it is just so Gavin. I debated about posting them because I plan to use these for Christmas cards, but I get to excited not to post the cute pictures. 

Totally Brody always wanting to be silly with the camera.

The kids found Lady Bugs. Lots of Lady Bugs. They keep wanted to catch them instead of doing pictures. So we have some cute pictures with them and the lady bugs or in Paris case pointing to the lady bugs. Brody put one in his pocket so he could get his picture taken.

The funniest thing is on Monday I was finally allowed to remove the band-aid. After I got the dried blood cleaned off the only thing there was a tiny cut. I was like "serious"!! I totally could have taken it off and cleaned it up for pictures. It was not a major injury, I think his bruised knee was worse than his cut. Kids are so fun!

Soccer

We started soccer this week. I am coach Brody team and my friends Jen (who I made assistnat coach) and her son Benji and Amber and her son Dayson is on the team along with 4 other kids from the area. Gavin is on a older team with someone else. The first week ended up being great. We had practice and I was a little worried after our first practice. They wouldn't stop picking up the ball and seemed like they had no idea what they were doing. But they ended up doing great in the game.

All ready to go to their first game.

Brody doing so good. The other little girl Alya needed to hold my hand the whole game. Maybe next game she will kick the ball when I pull her in front of the ball. The kids on my team had so much fun!! I had so much fun!

Gavin did great in his game. He played the same time our game was going so I only saw the ending because his games go longer. He had fun and made a goal. He is one of the smallest on his team.

Paris looking all cute watching the games.

Brody found a nice dog to sit by at the game. Not even scared, he is getting so brave, if they are nice dogs.
So fun, can't wait to do it again this week.

Farm Day

We went to the farm with Grandma and Grandpa. Eat lunch, jumped in the bounce house, and feed the animals. Always fun.

Halloween 2011

Brody's Preschool class Halloween day. My cute little Scooby Doo.
Gavin dressed as Otto the Robot from the book See Pip Point for his school literature parade. Yep same as last year. I am pretty sure it is just so he can get a balloon. I had thrown away the one from last year so I had to make it again. He was also a lot harder to please this year I had made it with a box head like last year and he didn't like so we had to try and fix it so he liked it.

Paris looking all cute to go to the boys school stuff.

I had to do pictures before we carved the pumpkins for Halloween. Got all dressed up and took pictures. Well the boys changed there mind on Halloween and did different costumes.

Gavin picked the bumble bee for the pictures that Symony sent for Brody and is a size 3 and three inches short for his legs. He was invited to go trick or treating at Brody's school and he had on the G.I. Joe costume, Otto robot for school, and Bumble Bee Ninja for trick-or-treating for a total of 4 costumes this year.

Brody wanted to be Scooby Doo again this year. No changing this boys mind. Every time they put on costumes he picked this one which is small. Then getting ready for trick-or-treating he changed his mind and went with G.I. Joe with a shield and sword.

Paris is a cute little fairy.

We went around Grandma and Grandpa's block. They do get hardly any trick-or-treat kids and even though we didn't go to many houses they gave hand fulls to them.

Brody got tired quick and was ready to go home. Gavin keep going with Grandma and Grandpa for another block. Paris did great walking around carried her basket, but got nervous with actually getting the candy from people.
Pumpkin time. We carved pumpkins Gavin did great! Brody didn't want to do it so we pulled out paints for him.

Paris did mostly swinging while we carved pumpkins.

Working hard.

The kids really liked the pretend candles inside the pumpkins. Paris thought it was cool and keep pointing to them.

Paris really likes Grandma right now. When she leaves she cries.

Gavin is a pretty funny kid.
