Happy Halloween!

Our funny fairy!
Iron Man!



Ron Burgandy made a guest appearance...
Our costume contribution!
Trick or Treat!
Adam, at 3, definitely knows the routine...say Trick or Treat, get your candy & put it in your bag, say Thank You, and off to the next house. Ava on the other hand, just kept taking candy, & more candy & more candy at EACH house...did she think her cute-ness would make it all okay? Well, it did when she said..."Doot Do"! (aka Thank You!)

Tiger Day!

Today was Tiger Day at the zoo & Adam has waited all week to go! A new tiger was introduced today...Bali...we watched him enjoy a "meat-sicle"!

On our way to see Bali, we stopped to see Jaya ...Adam showed us how she roars!
Here's Java...so close! (My Mom asked "Do they just have them loose to roam?"...And I replied "Do you think I would let my kids get that close?" & "Are you crazy?!") There is a large, thick glass between us and the tiger...of course!

Then off to feed the Budgie birds...they were hungry!

At one point, Adam had 3 birds on him...to say the least, he was loving it!
Time to head home to watch the Husky game...

Sweet Ava...

I love sneaking a peek on the kids when they are in their rooms playing by themselves...Ava was so sweet reading to her baby... Oops, she caught me! And look at the smile she gave me...love it!

Cool Cat!

Lucy's Birthday Party...

This morning we went to Lucy's 3rd Birthday Party...Ava looked so cute in her party outfit (that Lucy gave her for her 1st birthday!) Ava sure enjoyed her cupcake!Ava couldn't get enough of baby Owen (he is REALLY cute!)...she just kept hugging him! (Maybe she just really likes boys who are named "Owen"!)

Adam's 1st Field Trip...

Today Adam had his 1st Field Trip with Preschool...off to the "Pumpkin Patch" we went...what fun! (Since the first week of Preschool Adam has bonded with Claire...or as he refers to her..."My girl, Claire"...so sweet! You'll notice they are next to each other at all times...ha!)

Notice, they even hold hands!
And sit RIGHT next to each other!

Off on a hay ride...
Ava had fun too...
Lost in the maze...
Adam's Preschool Class...

A fun time was had by all! Adam's class is truly a sweet bunch of kids with a great bunch of parents...how lucky we are! And we love his teachers too!

Thank you Poppy & Gramma!

"Thank you Poppy & Gramma for sending Ava and me stickers!" Adam LOVES getting mail & loves it even more when it's from Gramma & Poppy...& especially when there are stickers! So...these two little munchkins wanted to show Gramma & Poppy their pictures they made with all their new stickers! Ava looks so grown up in this picture!

HUSKIES WIN!!!

Go Huskies! We are sure loving all this excitement with Husky football! So much we wanted to bring the kids & yes, we are a little crazy! BUT...they did great! Adam really enjoyed it...his favorite was jumping up & down with Mommy (a lot!) during the last 3 minutes of the game! (Good thing we were still there...Kev wanted to leave, but I wanted to stay...Kev gave me a kiss at the end and thanked me for making us stay!) I have been to 3 games this season...& yes, those have been our 3 wins so far this season...too bad I'm not going again until Cal...I hope they can do it without me!

We headed to the Stadium early, as Adam is in "Dub's Club" (the kids club of Husky athletics), for an official tunnel tour...what fun! We thought just Adam was going to get to go, but turns out, we all got to go!

Watching the football players warming up...

One day...


About to go in the tunnel...
As we were strolling down the tunnel...look who came along...JAKE! What luck! Adam was so excited (okay...Kev & I were so excited!) Jake reached out to give Adam & Ava five! (Too bad we were first in the group and didn't really see him coming...so I wasn't ready with my camera...ahhh! But I had to still get a photo...so there he goes on down the line...still a very nice angle of him...ha!)
The tunnel is lined with posters from all our bowl games...I had to get one in front of my "Conception Bowl"...9 months later, here I was! (Warren Moon would have been my name if I was a boy!)
Adam running down the tunnel...the same tunnel as his Poppy & Grandpa (& a couple Great-Uncles too!)
And into Husky Stadium (the crowd goes wild!)...
Watching Jake throw the ball...
"Look Mom, there's Jake!"
Ava with the Husky Cheerleaders...
Getting ready for the game to start...
We are so excited! (Well, Ava just wanted to keep sleeping!) What a GREAT comeback!

What a fun day we had! Adam really wanted to see "Harry the Husky" up close...but I must say, he is one hard Dawg to find! Oh well...something to look forward to for next year!
