September Events!

 First day of Kindergarten for Calvin! His teacher is Mrs. Martinson. He is liking school and enjoys his homework which is only once a week.

 Oliver is going to a preschool just down the street from where we live and it's called Noah's place. It's at a church and he attends three days a week.

He likes to ride his Superman bike there. Oliver loves school and has been waiting his turn to go since Calvin attended his preschool. Oliver wishes that he went everyday. It's awesome living so close to everything and having the option to walk or ride bikes.

The boys got their faces painted at a school event. Calvin is a snow leopard and Oliver is a white tiger.

In character

He looks like he could eat me!:)

This is at a park very close to our house, it's so beautiful. It's not very big, but it has little trails to ride your through the trees.

I can beach cruise through the forest right? Why not?

Calvin, despite his health woes, is surprising us everyday. He started playing soccer and his first game he scored three goals! He really doesn't have much skill at all, but he is aggressive and gets after it. Every game he averages one goal. My little boy is not so little anymore.

Disco Mania!!

Tanya looking AMAZING as usual!

 Scott a.k.a Bono is looking way too serious for a disco party.

 Ammon aka disco dog is looking way too scared for a party

 Please take note of J-P's hair, everyone kept saying that he looked way too authentic almost like he does this everyday. Well that hair is everyday....yeah baby!

 Mary and Michelle

 Yours truly - Mr. and Mrs. Disco

It's not everyday that you can move next to really fun people that are down for anything and will help throw a disco party. Well, maybe I love to disco a wee bit more than they do, but we had so much fun even though it wasn't a big turn out. This was our first summer here.

Cosetti Confetti!

 How can you resist that smile? She is turning one in a couple of weeks and isn't quite walking, but crawling like crab. Everyday shows more promise. Cosette is very active and tries to keep up with her brothers. She is my hip ornament and I enjoy her company ever tick of the day. It is so fun having a girl! She blabs all the time and can say "Mama", "DaDa", "Ambumb"(Ammon), 

 Out with the boys washing the Land Cruiser. There's always been a fun off-road vehicle in the family.

 She's a great dishwasher

And loves to unload too.

But don't ask her Dad to change her dirty drawers because it's a fit busting out. He gets stressed and sweaty and starts yelling orders out like a captain who's loosing a ship upon a raging sea. Sometimes I think it's easier to change it myself to guarantee a much happier moral throughout the cabin, but on second thought, it's good for the captain to mop the deck sometimes, no matter the attitude.:)

Family Reunion

The cousins are together again! Look at all those smiles.

            The mayhem started at Ryan and Whitney's....... the boys brawled for a good part of the day.

 Oliver took Calvin DOWN!

Family Reunion 2010 was a blast!!! It was this weekend that was monumental for Calvin. He just decided to take off on his cousin Paxton's bike without training wheels! He surprised us all. He also took off on his cousin's motorcycle and almost gave me a heart attack.....he was headed straight for a fence and wo-hooing in excitement the whole time. He was in more control than I thought and steered away from the fence right before I passed out!

Calvin at the talent show telling his jokes. He did a good job except for when he almost got booed off by the "Paxton Peanut Gallery."
