WOW!

Evan and Preston have had some fun accomplishments these past few weeks. We are so excited for them!

Preston started karate in September. He had his first belt test and he earned a white belt with a yellow stripe! He says he is now a "yellow striper." He has worked so hard and we are so happy for him!

We went to the first skating party of the school year and Preston decided that he no longer needed a skate trainer. He was right! He spent the night skating with no assistance!

Evan has been very interested in fishing for the past few months. Carl takes him to Putney Pond, as well as the pond on the golf course. He has gotten quite good at fishing and often catches really big bass!

Evan has also done well in swim. He is swimming for Kammerer and he competes against other kids in sixth through eighth grade. He has had some good individual times and is getting faster each week. He also had a relay to come in third place in the last meet! It was so fun to watch a quite and accomplishment for their team!

Fall Fun 2019

We started our fall activities with a trip to Gallrein Farm. We went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch, where we found the perfect pumpkins, as well as a large gourd for Preston. The boys also enjoyed playing in the hay and jumping on the huge inflatable "pillow." We also mastered the corm maze and had fun in the haunted house.

We went to the Halloween party at the zoo, which was lots of fun. This was the first time Preston was able to wear his Mario/Yoshi inflatable costume and he was SO excited!

We have enjoyed lots of time outside. Despite the drought, the fall colors have been beautiful!

We had a great time carving our pumpkins. Preston also discovered that he likes eating roasted pumpkin seeds!

Chancey Elementary had a story book character dress up day on Halloween. Preston was an adorable pirate!

Halloween night was lots of fun, despite the freezing temperatures! Grammy and Granddaddy came over for dinner. Granddaddy went trick or treating with us, while Grammy stayed at the house to pass out candy. The boys saw lots of their friends and got lots of candy. 

We also walked down Hillcrest Avenue on night with Bonnie Mom. I didn't take any pictures, but we had a really good time. It was the first time we took the boys to "Halloween Street" in the dark. I loved it even more than usual, as did Carl, Evan and Bonnie Mom. Preston thought it was a bit too spooky, but was very brave.
