One Very Happy Birthday Boy!

Colton is now officially 6! Where have the years gone? He is in Kindergarten and such an independent little boy. This year his birthday was on Sunday so we had two families over for dinner that we love dearly and consider our family here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! There are no close-ups of the "Lego" cake because it did not turn out as planned but it was a fun cake to serve. I will have to perfect that cake project, even still Colton thought it was pretty cool and that is what truly matters in my book.
He was so excited about his Birthday gifts that he couldn't even take the time to change out of his church clothes, which for Colton is saying a lot!
Thank you to Uncle Morgan and Aunt Crystal for the fun nerf gun that makes lots of loud noise. It is always fun to give noisy gifts to other people's kids, Morgan better watch out!
Nana and Granddaddy sent Colton some Fanatastic movies. One being the newest Bionicle movie which was a huge hit and I know was hard for Dad to keep in the packaging before sending to Colton. But Colton was excited!
It was another great year and we look forward to how much our little man grows, develops and changes over the next year! We love him some much!

Colton's Birthday Trip to the LEGO store

Colton is our LEGO loving Boy and so instead of a party this year we made a trip to Sacramento to the LEGO store. It is a really cool store and they have LEGO sets that you would not believe. But while we were at the mall of course we had to take a trip on the carousel!
Daddy got to ride this time because Mommy is pregnant and spinning in circles is not so great for the pregnant woman or perhaps for on lookers.
She is as cute as a Bunny!
We did not waste any time we got right to work, the whole family, at putting together Colton's Birthday LEGO set.
Colton is 6 and has grown up so fast! He is a joy in our family and we enjoy his sweet personality, his focus and drive. He takes good care of his sister, and continues to be imaginative and expressive in all that he does. He shows great coordination through soccer and karate. We are so proud of the little boy that he is and look forward to all that he will become.

Trick or Treating with Friends

TRICK OR TREAT!Baskets are in hand and the kids are ready to get candy!
Sarah was a Trick or Treating Pro this year and I think even got extra candy for giving a sweet smile!
It is always, always more fun with Friends, Optimus Prime, Spiderman, Soccer Star and M&Ms.
We love the neighborhood decor! BOOOO!
Got to have lite sticks to be save!

Preschool Carnival and School Festival

All the festivities were so much FUN!Colton and GianCarlo, his classmate, were off to the races on the PE scooters
Sarah put forth good efforts!

Sarah took a part of all the games during the Preschool Carnival, even had a butterfly drawn on her cheeks, and a heart on her nose.
TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!
Toss the Bean Bags and win a prize!
Sarah and her class all together but it is hard to get a group of toddlers all looking at the same time!
Sarah and her little friends that she always look forward to playing with at school!

Cute Halloween Moments

Halloween is here and it is time to dress-up!Sarah decided to be a Ballerina at COlton's Karate Halloween Party!
Colton was the only white ninja among many black ninjas at Cutting Edge!
What would Halloween be like with out pupkin cutting. We broke 3 cutting tools but Colton was very successful with his carving.

For our school festivities we dressed as a Butterfly and Storm Shadow, Cobra Ninja from G.I. Joe. Aren't they so cute?!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Apple Hill

Apple Hill is a notorious attraction for many in our area!We decided to see what the apple donuts and fun was all about. There are more attractions than can be named so we visited just a few. Here the kids loved the scenery and running around and exploring what was to be seen.
You can see the cute little trout pond that we had to keep the kids away from.
Colton posing for a precious holiday moment!
Sarah's turn next to her favorite scarecrow.
Colton and Sarah are not just brother and sister but good friends and enjoy these moments together.

Wonderful Fall Moments

Fall is here and FUN is in the air!We play outside, enjoying the cool weather,
We dress up in last years Halloween costumes and play games around the house,
We even find silly places to hide and turn into our trians, planes and racecars.
We love this time of year and mood it brings to our home!
