Gig Harbor Turkey Trot

Our 1st 5K!...Go Team Turkey!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Yay!...Snow!

End of Soccer Season Celebration!

Today was Adam's last soccer game for the season. What fun it was! His team was 7-1...not that we were keeping score! Adam made big improvements...he became quite the aggressive player & of course loved scoring goals! We are so proud!

After the game today, we headed to DQ to celebrate & each player got a trophy...wow, did he love that! Go Awesome Possums!

(I am actually writing this post the following morning...and Adam has already managed to break his trophy...oh, how sad he is! Hopefully a lesson learned...we'll have to wait and see when he gets his next trophy!)

A Day at the Country Village Shops...

Today we headed north to meet Samar, George & Clive at the Country Village Shops in Bothell...darling! First stop...the ducks! Well, they came to us the moment we stepped out of our car! There were a few roosters lingering too...one even pecked at Adam!...Aggressive little buggers!

And who are these two looking at!! Not me, of course! But they do seem to be looking at the same thing...stinkers! (It's either smiles or eyes...I rarely seem to get them both!)
Off to the the pirate ship! No surprise, Adam LOVED it!
Arrrgh!

And of course, a ride on the train...

Samar & I decided we need to come again in the Spring or Summer...& with the hubbies, so we can enjoy all the sweet boutiques!

Sleepy Head...

I couldn't resist... And Adam couldn't let me take a picture of Ava without getting one of him too!

A Late Night...

It's probably time to go home when all the kiddos have fallen asleep on the couch...Or on the floor...in the corner!

We just couldn't resist snapping pictures of these cute sleepy heads!

And then we went home!

Happy Halloween!

The crew...

Such a good big brother...

You know it's a long night, when Adam grows a "stache"!...

Go Huskies!

Off to the Husky game we go! Oh, it was a wet one! A little pre-game field & tunnel tour...Adam didn't want to join us for a family photo...so this is what we got!

Again, Adam didn't want to join us for a family photo! Don't we look like we are in front of a green screen...we aren't...we really are there!

I asked Ava to smile for a picture...this is what I got...here we go!

Adam cheering away!...& Ringing the cowbell, of course! (Both the kids were cheering quite a bit...oh, how it melts our purple hearts!..."Go Huskies!"..."Go Jake!"..."Go Jake Locker!" (Ava's favorite!)..."Good throw, Jake!"...LOVE IT!

It would have been a cute picture, if Ava could stop eating for it! Oh well!

Missing Poppy & Gramma...

Kev found a very sad Ava in the corner of Adam's room & when he asked her what was wrong, she said..."I miss my Poppy & Gramma"!
I had to get a picture!...So sad, but too cute!

Pumpkin Carving

Adam drawing his spooky face for Daddy to carve... Ava just drawing!

The carving begins...& Adam needing to be right there to help!

Scooping out the seeds...

Ava really got into it...grunting & all...no joke! Look at that face...

The finished product...

So proud!

Loving it!

We're ready!

Preschool Pumpkin Party!

Adam & his fabulous teacher, Mrs. Stephens...in costume, of course!

Off to a Costume Party...

Mommy didn't want them to get their "real" Halloween costumes dirty...so, Spiderman & a Princess they are! (Looks familiar?...Ava's pretty princess dress was Carolyne's flower girl dress in our wedding!)

Party Girl!

Ava is off to a birthday party with the girls...& no mommy! Wow, what a big girl!
