Trick or Treat

By Sarah


Here's a trick, when you realize you didn't write a blog post the entire month of October, put all your randomness in one place!  
D earned his 100 mile club shirt

N enjoying yet another play date with her bestie

 and her new favorite pajamas
 bowling with Grandma on a Saturday afternoon so that Daddy could work on his paper for his master's degree in peace

 fun Halloween treats made at Activity Days
visiting the pumpkin patch with M's Girl Scout troop

 Marshmallow's homemade costume
We had N's best friends and their families over for a taco bar dinner and decorating Halloween cookies.  It was such a blast to see the boys running around and to have K.W. read the girls a story.
After two days of saws, jack hammers, concrete (a dozen men working) our sidewalk was repaired by the city.

pumpkin carving!



Special story time at the library with friend R.

Ward Trunk or Treat picture taken by Grandma Karyl.  She was a huge help in getting all the children situated in their costumes while I ran with K to Target to buy the purple lipstick I had promised her and forgotten to purchase earlier in the day.  Hubby & I were vampires, M was a parakeet, N was a flamingo, D was Black Panther and K was Maleficent.  Didn't my mom do a great job making her staff?!?  Thanks, Mom!
School parade
K's class party.  I am a room mom for the first time and the party was so fun and easy to plan.  I have great support from the other moms and the teacher that made it so much better and so enjoyable.
Trick or treating around the neighborhood


K set off with friends -- she is growing up so fast -- and got so much candy!

Happy Halloween, everyone!!!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
