Pumpkin Carving

We picked our pumpkins and then carved them to perfection!

Red Ribbon Week

The girls had a ton of fun getting into the spirit of things during Red Ribbon Week.

Western Day, Twin Day, Red Day, and more!

My Sister

At church today Josiah was asked to create a rock naming the thing she was most thankful for.... "my sister".

I needed to snap a quick picture of this rock, in case it was lost under the bed or in the cracks of the car seat. I wanted it to be a reminder to them both over their lifetime .....

through smiles and tears,

cherish your sister!

Grammy

Just one of the things we love about Grammy is how she LOVES to play!! After Saturday soccer games, Grammy found herself at Josiah and Adalie's "beauty shop" followed by a "photo shoot"! Doesn't she look just marvelous!

Soccer 2011 Begins!

Soccer season is upon us once again. And Seth is coach for both girl's teams - oh boy!!!

Adalie's girl's under 8 team, the North Fork Thunder, consists of Adalie, Kaiya, Ashlyn, Gracia Ellis, Scarlet, Pria, Clover, and Chloe. They seem to be a force to reckon with!

Josiah's under 10 girl's team, the North Fork Stompers, consists of Josiah, Kaia, Dahlia, Rylee, Tatum, Carrie, Luna, Marissa, Heather, Halle, and Brooke. Although they have 5 brand new soccer players, they are a team that knows how to have fun together!
Go Girls Go!

Smile

There are moments in life when I wish I could just burn them into my memory forever! Moments that take your breath away, moments you want to linger in, moments that make your heart sing, moments that will bring a smile to your face.....

Today, when I saw Adalie's face as she laughed, I wanted to freeze time. I wanted to forever remember her toothless grin in a laugh that threw inhibition to the wind!

Labor Day at Shaver

It's was Labor Day weekend and we headed up with some of the family to Shaver Lake. The plan was to ski, surf, swim, relax and game. But watch out for Daddy and Uncle Jon.... you never know what craziness they will get you into. Highlights of the weekend were Josiah and Uncle Jon's skiing duo exhibition, Aunt Jen surfing the Baby in utero, climbing on Daddy's shoulders (nothing new, but fun nevertheless), humongous surfing wakes, body surfing, Josiah surfing solo and Adalie's gymnastic swings from Uncle Jon's boat tower!
