Strike a pose

Before church this morning Ellie was very willing to pose for pictures. Of course, Nate wanted to model for us too.

Thankful

Bountiful Harvest Festival

Phoenix Christian School had their annual Fall Festival and we met Keizers there to have some fun.

Nate riding a horse for the first time. He had a death grip at first but loosened up by the time he made it around the field. He even wanted to do it again.


Ellie, Avery, and Nate bouncing around.


Ellie attempting to box with Carson Rowe. Unfortunately, the gloves were too heavy for them to pick up but they loved wearing the helmets.


Up one side and down the other.


Hair painting. Nate during and after. It was very green! His scalp is still green even after washing his hair.


Ellie during and after. She of course wanted pink hair and Becca gave her glitter. Ellie was upset that we washed her hair especially since Becca made it.


They did the lollipop ring toss, Nate dug for dinosaurs, and they dug for treasure.


They all loved the bounce house!

Zoo

The zoo crew. Avery, Ellie, Kaley and Nate.


Riding a tractor.


Ellie was making friends with the turkeys. She was talking to them and they were gobbling at her.


Nate was hot so he searched out some shade.


Yee-haw!


Riding on a worm.


Climbing in a spider web.


Nate and Avery testing their balance.


Waving to the train.


One of the elephants and the baby giraffe.

Kaley's Birthday Party

Kaley turned 3 on Sunday and she had a puppy party. We had a lot of fun!


Our cute puppies!


Hanging out in Maverick's (Kaley's dog) kennel.


Happy Birthday to you! The cake is even a puppy.

Tired puppies but now they are complete with ears (they also made collars).

Happy Birthday Daddy (yesterday)!!

Halloween-Trunk or Treat

Nate the bug super sleuth and Ellie the pink kitty.


Nate and Ellie with Vicky and Kaley.


Ellie, Kaley, and Zach by the pretend farm.


Ellie with John. She wouldn't talk to him until he took the wig off. After that, she wasn't scared of him anymore and thought his hair was funny.


Nate hanging out by the farm.

Pumpkin Carving

Carving the pumpkins. After we were all done Nate's dump truck came to clean up the guts.


Stormy even joined in, he enjoyed eating a pumpkin seed.


Our finished pumpkins. Ellie wanted a kitty and Nate wanted a smiley face. Nate was upset that his pumpkin didn't look just like his smiling face.
