Fishing...Hunting for Bears (pretend ones of course!) and lots of "Cousin TIme"!

All of the kids had such a fun time together. They all got to hang out with each other (something they don't do enough of) and just play. Uncle Glen had the best fish pond in his back yard that Teegan and Tyler really enjoyed. They tried to reel in the fish with a toy fishing pole that they found. Then we went on a long hike around the woods looking for bears...it was really a ploy to get the kids to take pictures for me but they had a blast running through all the trees and trails. Every time I go up there I never want to come home!

Kaliana's Thanksgiving Program

At Kali's Kindergarten class they had the cutest Thanksgiving program. The kids got to go to the four different kindergarten classes and make a craft then have a feast (Tyler and Tymorie even got to particiapate!). At the first class they made a turkey out of their handprints. At the second class they made a mayflower ship (out of milk cartons). At the third class they made an indian beaded necklace (out of noodles) and wait...I think there was only three classes. Then they dressed up in their costumes (Kali was an indian) and had a Thanksgiving Feast. It was a blast!

Halloween

This year our family went Trick-or-Treating with Danny & Lauren and her family over at Courtney & Todd's home. There was so many kids, family and friends there. Lauren's mom made the most amazing chilli for dinner and we got sing Todd "Happy Birthday". All of the kids looked adorable. They came home with way too much candy! Kaliana was Batgirl, Tyler was Batman and Tymorie was a Bat. Danny & Lauren even dressed up. Danny's costume was hilarious and Lauren looked super cute- as always! Can't wait to do it again next year

Bates Nut Farm

My MOPS Group went to Bates Nut Farm this past week and I took Tyler and Tymorie. Kali had school but had fun with Auntie Shalene. Tyler, Tymorie and I had a great time. We rode a tractor, picked out pumpkins and hung out with friends. Tyler got to feed some goats, sheep and pigs. He held a rabbit and even got to ride a horse. By the time we left they were both exhausted and slept on the entire 45 minute drive home.

Phil Wickham Concert

I have the BEST husband in the WHOLE wide world! I am obsessed with Phil Wickham's music right now and he bought me VIP tickets to see him LIVE! We got to arrive an hour before the show started and sit through a question and answer session with him. Then, we sat in the 2nd row..and after I met him, had him sign my VIP badge and take a picture!!! It was so much FUN! I couldn't have asked for a better night of worship with my husband and to meet Phil was just icing on top of a very large cake!

Lynette's Pumpkin Patch

My friend from MOPS, Lynette, family owns a farm here in Menifee and they had a orchard (would you call it that?) of Pumpkins this fall. She invited us out to actually cut them off of the vine before they went to waste. The kids (and I) have never seen pumpkins on a vine nor have we been able to actually cut them off of a vine. It was so much fun. They ran around looking for BIG pumpkins to bring home to carve. We ended up with about 8 huge pumpkins to decorate for halloween. Thanks Lynette!!!

Kaliana's Competition at the Cox Arena

Kaliana had her very first Cheer competition. It was amazing. The girls have been practicing their routine since AUGUST! And their day to perform finally arrived. Kali wasn't even nervous. Kevin and I got sitter for Tyler and Tymorie and we went to San Diego to watch our baby perform. They got award certificates and a medal. It was a blast!
