Off to Wenatchee!

This weekend Samantha completed in the regional cross country meet in Wenatchee.

So we loaded up the car and took the family to cheer her on. Samantha wanted to compete in this meet really bad even though she was injured from a previous meet.

Here we are in the rain with Samantha. She is waiting for a heating pad to warm up so she can put it on her sore leg.

Here is our camping setting up. A pot with warm water heating up the pad for Samantha. Also a kettle with hot water to make hot chocolate, yum!

Jessica is loving the rain. My shoes and feet got soggy and wet from the rain.

The boys played in the playground during the meet.


Samantha is warming up with her team.

Here is Samantha finishing the race. I believed she finished in 20:34. We are so proud of her for finishing the race. She is glad that she finished. With the season over we will go visit the orthopedic surgeon and see what Samantha did to her leg.

Halloween!

Another year of dressing up has come and gone. Due to Halloween being on Sunday, the family went to the ward party on Friday and went trunk or treating. Samantha went to a pasta feed that night to get ready for the cross meet the next day and then she went to a Halloween party.

Jessica and her friend Casey dressed up as fairies! What happened to the cute princess outfits?

Andrew and I were pioneers. I figured that I could use this costume for others things, Pioneer day or Trek?

Parker wore his Halo costume again. We went out too late to get another costume, but I think he was happy with this.

Zachary was a ghostbuster. He also had the pack to go with it but he took it off.

The boys had fun trunk or treating. I think Parker went to some cars like 3 times.

Fun with Zachary!!

Today is Zachary's birthday so we took some of the family and his cousin Ian to Triple Play/Raptor Reef in Hayden Idaho. Triple Play and Raptor Reef is an amusement complex and indoor water park hooked onto a Holiday Inn Express. We stayed the night on Friday. We started with the water park on Saturday.

Zachary and Ian are ready to head out for some fun in the water!

Zachary likes having tons of water being poured on him!

I had a good time with Jessica; I had to keep her company since Samantha with staying with her cousin Emily because she had Cross Country practice.

We ate at KFC and made a new friend!

Zachary and Ian were excited to watch this movie, that you moved along with, but it was 12 tokens!

I think that they enjoyed the movie.

After having fun at Triple Play, we went to Cabela's! I think Andrew enjoyed himself the most at this store!!

I hope everyone had a good time, especially Zachary!!

Zachary Birthday!!

Zachary will be turning 10 tomorrow! We wanted to celebrate a little today.First, we went to his class to bring a birthday treat, yummy Oreos and Chip Ahoy cookies! We had a few presents for him to open before we go to Idaho. We will do the full celebration tomorrow at Triple Play; we are also bringing Ian with us.



We love getting the extra large balloons for birthdays!



Zachary will be moving up in scouts as well. He will part of the Webelos pack, yea!

He had to try out his new scooter. I think he likes it eventhough it is red.

We love you Zachary!! Happy 10th birthday!!

Dance and Race

Jessica went to Homecoming, with a group of girlfriends. She looks so pretty! They took a limo and went to a friends house for dinner. Jessica had a good time.

Samantha is getting ready for a race; it is the district race in Yakima.

Here are her last few strides! She did the 3 miles in 20:36

We are building a shed. We just need the stucco and the door, I think.

Samantha is in Cross Country this year and she loves it!
