Just for fun try…

POM POM hair!

oh baby girl!

I just had to post a couple new pictures of little miss Aliza. We just love her so much!! Sean, Caleb and I babysat her today while her mommy went to work for a couple hours. It is so fun to see how much she is starting to bond with the boys. She gives them the best smiles! I am so thankful that the boys get so many opportunities to connect with her and develop a relationship. She is such a sweet girl!

Seahawks Game

Sean and Cam went to the Seahawks game together yesterday. This was Sean’s first NFL game. They had the best time! Sean said it was almost as good as Disneyland.

On Friday at Caleb’s soccer practice, Sean overheard another player’s dad talking on the phone trying to get rid of a couple of tickets to Sunday’s game. The tickets were for seats that were 3 rows back from the sideline at the 25 yd line! Sean immediately called Cam to find out if he wanted him to ask about it. Cam gave him the okay and Sean jumped out of the car, walked right up to this guy (Joe) that he’d never talked to before and offered to buy the tickets from him. Joe explained to Sean that the tickets “were expensive” and Sean said he had overheard the price and that it was fine. Joe got Cam’s number from us and said he needed to hear back from a couple other people he’d checked with. Joe called Friday night and said the tickets were theirs if they wanted them.

Sean and Cam needed some Seahawks apparel for the game so we went shopping Saturday night and found a couple T-shirts. We also picked up some green and blue hair spiking gel and gave Seany this fabulous faux-hawk! The Seahawks beat the Rams 33 to 6!

Caleb rode down to Seattle with them and spent the day with Auntie Holly and Uncle Shane. He had a lot of fun with them. They played Lego, watched movies, drank apple cider, went to the park and played soccer. It was really nice for the boys to get a break from each other (they spend every minute together, 24/7).

I stayed home all by myself and had a really great time in the peace and quiet. I worked on some craft projects with Colleen, watched a movie and of course, watched the Seahawks game! Sam (the dog) thought I was crazy every time I would cheer or get excited about the game.

It was a great day!

soccer

I wouldn’t wanna meet these two on a soccer field, how ’bout you?

Stoney Ridge Farm

We took our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch today. We have gone every year (except last year) since Sean was born. It has been fun to watch Stoney Ridge change over the years. It’s fun to see the new features they add every year. We’d all agree that our favorite thing is the Pie Shop where we get to eat homemade apple pie with “the works” (caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream). We had beautiful weather and found 3 fabulous pumpkins. Check out more pictures from our trip by clicking the mosaic below.

5 more days!

Christmas Songs releases on October 16th and in case you couldn’t tell from the fact that I am posting about it — I’m excited! I think we’ll start listening to Christmas music a little early this year. Why not? Jesus’ birth should be something we celebrate everyday anyway.

Bellingham Bay Half Marathon

Here’s a few photos from Cam’s half Marathon today (I didn’t get great pictures, my battery was really low on my camera). We are so proud of Cam!! Way to go babe!

(NOTE: Betsy posted a great slideshow, but it’s huge, and made us go over our bandwidth limit, so you’ll have to “read more” to see it)
