Neon Frogs

Brielle is officially done with soccer, she did so well this season and always scored tons of goals. We are so proud of her and loved watching our little aggressive neon frog!



Her team was so fun and did really well they only lost 2 out of 8 games! We had our end of the season pizza party and they were all sad they didn't have time to practice after, such cuties!!

3rd grade Field Trip

I am so glad I got to go on Hunter's 3rd grade Field trip to Staheli Farm! I am always volunteer at their school but Hunter's teacher doesn't ever need help in the class its usually making copies, grading, stuff that puts me in the teachers lounge not the classroom. So I feel like I don't know his class as well as I do Brielle's.

We rode our bikes to the farm and back, we even had a police escort, the kids ate it up!
Our first stop was the corn maze, we managed not to lose anyone and found the heart, well at least all the boys said we did :) Then we went around the farm looking at all the animals, the pigs were our favorite, we had a blast!!!

I want to remember this moment, Hunter and his friends were by the port-a-potties, they found that you could move the piece in the front to unlock them when someone was in there. They were doing it to one of their buddies and then a girl that is really quiet and odd in his class went in, the boys were trying to unlock it when Hunter moved in front of them blocking it and told them to knock it off. I quickly went over and took his spot in guarding the door, so he could go play. I was so proud of him for sticking up for her even though his friends were making fun of him.





trick r treat!

Visited our family and then TJ took the kids around our neighborhood while I passed out candy, I love seeing all our neighbor kids dressed up. I was giving away fist fulls and still didn't make a dent in our Disneyland stash!



Carving Pumpkins

Love carving pumpkins and I love that Hunter did his all by himself this year, It was great! Sophie found a bag of chips and only offered her opinion on what face she wanted and sat back and watched us do all the work. Brielle did everything but the cutting out and Callaway made a mess everywhere!




Cousin Party- Halloween

Our Cousin Halloween party was a little different this year, only Halle and Kade were able to come so we took them to our neighborhood party (sadly, didn't get any pics) and then we came home and had some fun!

Bubble bath and painting our nails was requested followed by popcorn and a movie! I love my nieces and nephews so much, they are hilarious! We always have a blast playing together!

School festivities

Love seeing all the kids costumes in the parade :)


Brielle's class party was so much fun, we played witch hat toss and spider toss and then pumpkin bowling. They made spider suckers and ate yummy cupcakes.



Then Jack Sparrow came and read them a pirate story!


Always love hearing I throw the best parties, even if it is from a bunch of 6 year olds :)

Family Fun- misc

We didn't eat out a lot on our trip, we would pack sandwhiches for lunch and made our dinners at the hotel or ate at the parks. One night we did go get some yummy fish n chips and clam chowder, so fresh and soooo good.



This little guy is sneaky :)

On our drive home we stopped in Baker, CA and saw the Worlds tallest thermometer!

Disneyland

The decorations were amazing, such a fun atmosephere and the kids loved every minute of it!


We went a whole day on Sunday, it was busy but not too bad, we didn't have to wait very long for the popular rides.
They don't have characters walking around anymore but we did see Cruela Devile she was hilarious, Brielle was her puppy!

This lady bumped into me on our way to California Adventures.

Yep, Camille Grammer on the Desperate Housewives of Beverly Hills I was so excited I saw someone famous, lol!

On Tuesday we went to Mickey's Halloween party, they let you in a few hours before the party starts, and then who ever didn't purchase the ticket has to leave. We put our costumes on and started trick r treating, there were tons of treat stations throughout the park, it was so much fun trick r treating!

This high school kid Patrick, he lost his family so he joined ours lol


The fireworks were the best I have ever seen, amazing show!



The parade ended the night and I have to say was one of my favorite memories. Cute lil Sophie was tired and standing by me when the float with Mickey and Minnie came down I told her to look and she was so excited, she pushed Brielle over and said "Move, Bielle!" and quickly sat on my Moms lap front and center waving and yelling at Mickey and Minnie, she was star struck! Sweetest moment, made all the craziness worth it!





And this is all the loot! Minus another big back we forgot in the car!
