The Rock Wall

We had always wanted more yard. And had been trying for 2 years to get a wall put in. Well the good news is that they have started the WALL. Here are some pictures of the progress.

Scout Uniforms

A big thanks for the new scout uniforms and tracking down all the boys' merit badges. This was so kind. A special thanks to the Hopkins for taking such good care of us. Thanks

Jordan Lost a Tooth

Jordan did it!! She wiggled her tooth enough to lose it. She was so excited- well after the initial shock of seeing blood. We had to assure her that that is a normal part of the process. She was even more excited the next morning after a visit from the tooth fairy.

Our House on Fire

Our Neighbor kindly gave us a bunch of pictures that he took during and after the fire. I think they are pretty amazing.

Halloween

Halloween night Spencer and Preston went and hung out at friends houses. Jordan, Ethan and Adam went Trick-or-treating with Dad. I stayed home and handed out candy to the kids who came here. Jordan and Ethan are showing off their carved pumpkins. Adam was very excited to wear his puppy costume until someone told him that the dog was going to lick him. He then spent the rest of the night worried the dog was going to lick him.

Jordan and Ethan decided independantly that they were going to be Pirates. Jordan was Elizabeth Swan and Ethan was Jack Sparrow

Pumpkins

Preston's and Spencer's carved pumpkins (they got their artistic talent from their father.)

'nake

One of the perks of raising boys is all the fun surprises they come home with. Spencer found a snake on the way home from school. He couldn't wait to show it off. Adam got/gets so excited he re-lives it often and exclaims, " 'nake, Spencer, 'nake". Spencer got everyone in the family to touch the snake (except for me- I had a camera in my hands or that is the excuse I am using)
