Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Here are the creations we made with our pumpkins.


Jessica is so proud of her pumpkin.


My spooky pumpkin.


Zachary's Piplup pumpkin, it's a kind of Pokemon.

Leaves, Leaves

Fall is now here. I think Samantha like leaves as much as she likes snow, she was excited to see them all over the lawn. Samantha raked while Zachary jumped in them and watered his bean plant (Scarlet Bean runner, I think).

While these two were outside, Jessica was finishing Spanish homework. Only one more Volleyball game! Parker was on the computer playing one of his favorite online games-Pokemon Crater.

Autumn time!

Fall is coming to the Tri-cities! I love the color of the trees during this time of year.

With Halloween coming the kids are trying to decide what they want to be . Guest who is wearing this Spiderman costume.

Samantha wanted to try on Parker's Spiderman costume and it fit her. Samantha will wear another costume for Halloween not Parker's.

We have not broke ground on our house yet. A Structural Engineer needs to look at the plans to make sure that the house would hold up considering the height that it is. Hopefully we will be able to break ground in two weeks.

Selection begins.

We are building a new house so we need to start selecting items for the house. Today I will go and select the windows. Yesterday I got a door selected.

Next, I need to look at shingles and pick a color for them. I didn't think I would be picking a color for the shingles but they do come in many colors. After that, I think I will wait until they start to dig before I select anything else. Fun, Fun.

Volleyball and Soccer

We have been busy lately but not busy enough to not post. I am sorry.

Jessica and Samantha are glad school started so that they can be with their friends. Jessica is playing Volleyball at school and she loves it.

Samantha was on a soccer team for the Fall but we had to take her off due to feet problems. She is sad about the whole thing. She hopes to start again in the Spring.

Parker has been playing soccer and he seems to be enjoying it. Parker is also a Bear Scout. He enjoys working on his Bear book with Andrew. Parker is also a Pokemon fanatic. He likes to buy the cards when ever he has $ in his pocket

And as for Mr. Zachary he just enjoys being in the First Grade!

Our House

We are in the process of building a new house. We are finished with the plans. This is what our house could look like. We are excited to get started.
