And the Winner is....

Austin!!!

He got three awards at the assembly and he was even named "Student of the Month" for November!! That's my boy.We had a little too much fun at the awards assembly.
These are the three awards Austin got..."I Have Pirate Pride", Perfect Attendance, and Fantastic Report Card.

This wasn't at the assembly, but I have to put this sweet picture of Cali chatting with Peyton. It was so sweet and Peyton sure loves her big brother and sister!!

Marcus is on an Elk hunting trip in Arizona so I'm sure we'll get some fabulous pictures to share soon.

Halloween Festivities

Get ready for picture overload!!!

We had a great Halloween day, but the week leading up to the special day was set aside. Marcus' grandfather passed away the weekend before Halloween. It was very sudden and there was no way to predict how quickly it would happen. (It was sad, yes, but it was quick for him and better that he's not in any more pain...and reunited with his wife.) He lived in Arizona so Marcus, his brother and his parents hightailed it to Arizona to be with family for the funeral. We would have gotten our pumpkins and carved them, got all our costumes finished and had everything ready to party, but it got put on hold. It actually made Halloween day quite eventful. That morning we headed to a local pumpkin patch and let the kids pick their own to carve. And with it being the last day, they let us pick a bunch of little pumpkins to take for free! Cali was in heaven...she's been carrying around her little pumpkins since.

We didn't have much time during the day to carve the pumpkins, but we got them done before it got dark. Cali loved how slimy they were inside and Austin actually helped this year (he thought they were TOO slimy the past two years). We had a great time making funny faces on our pumpkins, but I forgot to take pics of the final products! duh.Here's our cute little pumpkin...with Austin trying to sneak into the shot. lolCali wanted to be a witch at first, but we couldn't find much to fit her. When we were searching thru many different stores, she found this set with ears, a tail and a little collar and she was sold. Cali the kitty...Calico Cat (marcus says) I know it's a little blurred, but I thought this was so sweet how she's trying to pose like her big brother even though he's trying to be scary and she's just too cute!

Austin is Megatron from transformers, if you couldn't tell. ;)My kids are shy....hahahaha!!She's been smiling for a while now, and "cooing" all the time. She's even started laughing recently. Oh, and she rolled for the first time last week...she rolled the earliest of all three. I can't believe that it's just as exciting with the third baby as it was with the first!I hope everyone's Halloween was eventful as ours!

Get ready for Thanksgiving. woohoo!!!
