Michaella's Six Month Pictures

Michaella's 6 month pictures came back today.....I just had to share them with you.  And I'll give credit where credit is due....thanks, Olan Mills, for doing an excellent job!  If you look closely, you can see she is wearing the bracelet that her Aunt Kel and Uncle Kerry gave her.   It is so girly!!!!

Sweet Michaella

More Soccer Pics

I couldn't resist this sweatshirt......after all, I have spent MANY hours watching MANY soccer games.  I have some awesome soccer players!

Scott and Benji sharing a seat while watching Joshua and Marc play.

Scott entertaining Michaella.

Having Fun with Shelly

The oldest and the youngest grand-daughters.

Three cousins.

Michaella enjoyed swinging.....I think this was her first time on this swing.

Trick or Treat

As per tradition, Russells went with us for trick-or-treat.

My six trick-or-treaters.

It would not surprise me at all if someday this boy ends up serving in the military.

By far, the most fun is sorting through all the candy after trick-or-treating.

Scott's Field Trip

Last week I got to go on a field trip with Scott's class to a working farm from the 1800's.  It was really neat and lot of fun.

This was in the parlor of the farmhouse.

Old fashioned toys.

In the Parlor.

Touring the kitchen.

The back of the farmhouse from the 1800's.

Trying the old-fashioned water pump.

Silly Scott!

There were LOTS of baby pigs.

Feeding pumpkin to the pigs.

Feeding celery to the pigs.

Turkeys......yep for Thanksgiving.

The farmer let the children touch a baby duck.

The baby ducks were so cute!

The farm was so picturesque.

It was an absolutely GORGEOUS fall day!

I had a wonderful time with Scott and his class!

Daddy is HOME!

After Keith was away for a week in Brazil, both Michaella and Daddy were happy to see each other again.

Benji and Michaella

I was changing the beds in the younger boys' room, so I put Michaella on the floor on her blanket.  Benji has a blue blanket just like her pink one, and when he saw her on her pink blanket, he set his up right next to her and had fun playing next to her.  It was one of those "awwwwww" moments.

Marc's Fall Concert

Tonight we had the privilege of seeing Marc in his fall concert at school.  He played the piano for his choir and did a fantastic job.  Here is the video of his performance.

I told the boys they had to dress nicely for Marc's concert.....Scott decided to wear his suit....he looked very handsome!

Scott wanted to have one picture taken without his coat, so he could look just like his brother Marc.

Breakfast Time

Last night at the AWANA store, Joshua bought a little ant eater and gave it to Benji.  Benjamin slept with it, then when he woke up this morning, he had to feed him breakfast.....so here are Benji and Ant Eater having breakfast together.

Hand-Me-Downs

The perfect outfit for soccer......thanks, Lindsay!

Nice warm boots from Michaella's friend, Ella.

Joshua's Soccer

What a handsome goal keeper!

Joshua played goalie for part of his game last Saturday.
