Veteran's Day Assembly

Monday afternoon Carson's school had an assembly to celebrate Veteran's Day. Carson invited Major (Jerry) to be honored. He was very proud!

The principal having Carson introduce Major.

Brown Bear

Carson had a school project. He brought home Brown Bear and had to document where we went. Here are some of the pictures we took with Brown Bear.

We went over to my in-laws for dinner.

With a big family it sometimes takes a few takes to get a good picture.

(Mom VC, you may "steal" these)

I think Brown Bear had a good time! And Carson did a wonderful job on his project!

Halloween

This year Gracie was a Princess and Carson was a Ninja. We had a great time. We stopped at my moms, the Fire Dept and my Grandma's.

Oh yeah, I dressed up a little too:

This morning Gracie was throwing a tantrum in her room and decided to empty out her drawers of clothes and dump out her dirty laundry basket as well. I told her she needed to clean it up but I guess she got tired and fell asleep in the middle of it all.

More Artwork

Here are more drawings from Gracelyn.
This is Carson with spiky hair:

My little artist

Gracie is becoming quite the artist.

Here she is holding her "DoodlePro" with a "happy face" drawn:

BBQing with friends

Saturday afternoon we went over to some friends house for a barbeque. We played badmitten, bocci ball, crochet and ate lots of food!
The kids love going over there. They have a really cute playhouse in their back yard and lots of yard to run around it.

First Soccer Game

Carson had his first soccer game today! He was so excited! Carson did very well for his first time playing on a team! They won 4-0! :)

Picking Apples

Our apple tree is very full right now, so Roy went out to pick them.

Carson wanted to help.

I guess the truck made a better ladder than an actual ladder.

Doing the dishes

Gracie loves to help around the house!
She came to me and asked me if she could wash the dishes.
Of course I wouldn't turn down an offer like that!
