Brooke Turned 9 Year's Old

On March 31st Brookie turned nine! For her birthday party she did a service project where the girls make doggie treats, decorated bandanas and then brought them to the Humane Society. What a gal!



We had an intense game of Cheeto Head for fun and other fun games.

Canyon Lost His First Tooth!!!!

It finally happened! December 23rd, 2008 Canyon lost his first tooth while pulling a snow glove off his hand with his teeth. Here it shows him placing his tooth in his tooth fairy pillow. He was thrilled in the morning to see she had arrived!

Snow Days!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a ton of snow these past couple of weeks. It has since rained and it is all gone but we had a great time playing in it everyday!

Sock Hop

At Brooke and Canyon's school back in November they had a Sock Hop which was a ton of fun! My girlfriend let Brooke and I borrow costumes and we had a great time blowing bubbles with bubble gum and having hoola hoop contests. Brooke and Canyon were thrilled to be recognized for their costumes and came home with ribbons!

Costumes!

Brooke was a Parrot this year. I found this costume at a Thrift store in downtown Issaquah. Canyon was a Skeleton and I've never had such a hard time finding such an easy costume! I literally went to four stores and online to try and get it in his size! Wal Mart.com came to the recue at the last minute. Whew!

Halloween Time!

This year was great seeing how now my kids are old enough to do most of the gutting and carving themselves!

Pumpkin Patch!

The month of October is one of my favorites! Pumpkin patches, Halloween, Fall leaves. It's so much fun! We spent some time at this pumpkin patch to pick out our favorite ones. Here Brooke and Canyon get a ride from Dad to the field!




Here is our collection of Pumpkins and corn. There was a really good crop this year so it was fun to get some white ones too!


Brooke and Canyon thought it was quite clever to show us their "ears" of corn. They couldn't stop laughing!
