October

So before we get into October, there are a few things I forgot from September.

With all four of the big kids in school, Jilli and I get a lot of time during the day. This was a lunch date we had with Terry and Jilli learned to use chop sticks . . .

Her favorite game lately, cooking. This morning she swiped some pancakes from the pile and opened her own cafe . . . 

Karina and I did our second annual Varney Creek trail run. This time we did the WHOLE loop! 15 miles in all! Of course she was barefoot the entire time . . . amazing! 

She took charge of the shirt making this year. I am excited to carry this tradition on! 

Pretty good views all along the way! 

Then it was on to October and

Baby Girl's Birthday!

She started the sporting the princess for the day garb right away . . . 

Can't believe my baby is THREE . . . 

She wanted an art party and ended up picking this cake out of our cake book. I think it turned out pretty cute. Can you find her signature? 

Her only request for the day was that we do a craft.

Poor thing is doomed to fall crafts with an October birthday . . . 

Jackpot! 

I missed the blow out . . . 

Her favorite part was eating the "brush". . . 

We love our Jilli Bean!

Ry-Ry started his second season of flag football . . .

And Conference week end was as fabulous as always . . . 

These were the key words we had the kids listen for. Each time they heard a speaker say one of them they put a tally mark on their paper. We let them cash in during the songs . . . 

Terry's birthday was another October event.

Stay tuned . . .
