New Hair Cut

Isabella got another hair cut! Much better now that it isn't so long and tangly

Isabella pushing Jack on the swing while we cleaned up the leaves in the back yard

Jack biting ......I don't know why either?

Many sides of Isabella

Looking through a bunch of photos and found these, have I mentioned that she is a HAM??

My Three Girls!!!

We can never get Abigail to hold still for photos but somehow Heidi was able to snap this one.
Isabella on the other hand is such a huge HAM that you can barely get the camera out before she is posing.
This is about as formal a pose as Paige has, but a good picture none the less.

The Dentist

Isabella had another check-up yesterday and did wonderfully!! She is such a big girl and loves to use the water and the "sucky straw"

SOFA

This is how Paige and Colin spend their days at our house, snuggled up on the sofa, insisting that I sit and chat with them whilst they canoodle!

Race Photos

So I decided that I don't want to pay $20 for a digital photo of the two of us sweaty and not smiling.....so here is the link and if you would like you can check out the photos of us from the race. Just type in race number 202 and 203 and our beautiful pic's come right up!! No comments please.

My First 10K

So today I ran my very first 10K!! Autumn Leaves out at Champoeg State Park. A beautiful day for a 6.2 mile run if I say so myself. Heidi, my inspiration, ran this with me and was an amazing support. With my recent shin splints and not running the last two weeks to let them heal the start was a little rough, but I pulled it off without a glitch. Ran the whole way and even maintained a wonderful pace of just over 12 minute miles, finishing strong in 1:16. I will post some photos of the two of us during the run when they are up on the running site.

Scooby Doo

Forgot to add the most important photo from Halloween. The one of Isabella in the scary(per Jack) Scooby Doo costume.

Halloween at Preschool

Isabella's class at TVP

Creating the best Jack-o-lantern

This was a spider cookie made out of an Oreo and licorice ropes, Paige was able to go and take a bunch of pictures for us since I had worked the night before and Heidi has just tissue damage in her hand(not broken per the Radiologist report).

Halloween night we took the kids with our friends Troy and Dawn and their two little ones trick or treating. We had a wonderful time watching all the little kids run from house to house "beggin" for candy. The weather held out, no rain or wind really, a truly nice Halloween night.

Jumping Jack

Jack has found something he enjoys more than a nap in the afternoon. He does this for 30-45 minutes without stopping. I wish I had that much energy.

Long Day...Gone right

I came home the other day to find Jack still in his highchair after lunch, the girls standing around him and snapping photos. Way too cute to not take pictures!

Preschool Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Jack was able to come along on the field trip, and had a nice time playing on the peewee hay maze!

Isabella and her new friends checking out the chickens, no fear there yet(yep, I am afraid of chickens)

For some odd reason the most interesting thing at the time was putting rocks into the orange cones...they were all doing it.

Nice to see a little sisterly love!!

Inside the Potato Barn, who knew that they actually just pile them up and leave them in a dark barn? I guess we all learned something on the field trip to the farm.

All in all we had a wonderful time, the kids played and the adults networked and talked about how wonderful it would be if there were wine tasting there.
