Happy Halloween

Princess Sofia

Drew with his friend Kenzie. They love playing together. Drew was such a gentleman and took her hand and walked all the way around the block.

We had a wonderful day. We went shopping for the kids. Then we took them over to Grandma and Grandpa's T house. They got lots of candy. We didn't even open the 3 bags we bought at the store today. We have so much candy left over. I wonder what we will do with it all.

Sofia loved that she had 2 customs. We bought her the Mulan one and Grandma got her the sleeping beauty one. She had asked grandma for it months ago, thank you. The girls will both have beautiful dress up clothes to play with. Drew loved his woody custom. We can't wait until Tuesday when toy story 3 comes out. That was Drew's first movie at the theaters.

Sofia's Gotcha Day

Princess Sofia.

Four years ago today, Sofia was placed in our arms. Wow how time flies. Sofia had a mini concert at school today, she did great. We remember to bring the video camera. She always likes seeing herself on TV. I really do need to us it more often. After school we took her to her favorite store (Can you guess which one) Target. We have always gotten the kids something for our forever day. Sofia picked out a book, candy, and a DVD. Tonight we told her she got to pick dinner. She picked Pizza Ranch. Which is kinda funny we had pizza in China. I think every year she has picked Pizza, I guess we have made it a tradition to eat pizza on Gotcha Day. We are so very Blessed to have her in our lives. We love you Princess Sofia. We also went to the Dells this week, this is another tradition. Here are some of the pictures from the Dells, and her concert.

Trunk or Treat with FCC

The group picture..... As the kids get older the group picture gets better!

Tonight our local FCC had a trunk or treat party. Sofia and Drew loved seeing all the other kids. Sofia was Mulan and Drew was Woody. It was so cooled they had to wear there coats. They got lots and lots of candy. While they are in bed, we are going through the candy to see what we want for ourselves. Sofia is in her bed saying "Trick or Treat". Tomorrow she has a mini concert at her preschool.

Chusoek Celebration

The kids really liked the microphones.

This past weekend we had a wonderful dinner to celebrate Chusoek. The food was so good. The boys were all so cute in there hanbok. What a great way to honor Drew's culture. This was our second time getting together for Chusoek. I hope we will continue this for many years. Thank you everyone. We had a great time.

Warm Weather Fun

The weather has been so nice. On Monday, went went to the park to take some fall pictures of the kids. They turned out great. I only wish I could get the kids to smile. I would love to go back and try again. After dinner, Grandma and I took the kids over to the school to play. Drew was loving all the grandma time. If you asks him "Drew are you a grandma's Boy" he says "yes".

Today, we went to the apple orchard. Drew got to ride the pony's for the first time. Oh boy did he LOVE it. He was petting the horse while riding, he showed me his tail and ears. It was so cute to see him so excited.

TKD testing

Sofia getting her award.

Today, Sofia tested for her next belt. She did very well. She received another award, for positive attitude. At this rate her arm is going to filled with patches. Drew is so upset he can't be in class. When he is three we might do a trial to see if he can keep up with the other kids. We will just have to wait and see. We are so proud of you Sofia, keep up the good work. We love you.

Community helper day at Sofia's school

Today, Steve went to Sofia's school to speak to her class about his job. He said the kids were all so excited to ask question. He said they were all very good and when they wanted to ask a question they would hold up there hands. (Some of the question were way out there, but they are only 3 and 4 years old.) Sofia even had to ask her daddy a question. I know Sofia really enjoyed her daddy coming to school today, and Steve loved going. Anything for his baby girl.

I do know one thing, both of them told me to stop taking pictures. I wasn't able to go with so I had to take as many of them before they left:) :)

Happy Birthday Ty & Pumpkins

Ty and Wrigley enjoying there bones.

Our baby boy turned 7 today. Ty got to go for a long walk. We bought him a nice big bone. Ty your such a sweet boy, we love you.

The kids got there first pumpkins, from my cousins garden. Thank you Joshua, you save us some money. The kids always want us to buy them at the pumpkin patch, and the aren't cheap.

Anderson Japanese Gardens

The one group shot I got. (I got them all looking sort of)

All the kid loved feed the Koi.

On tuesday, our playgroup meet at Anderson garden. It is so beautiful and relaxing. Steve had never been and he enjoyed it. I would love to go back without the kids and have a nice dinner and walk through the gardens.

Basilica of Holy Hill

Some of the pictures I took outside the church.

Sofia got to put the Holy Water in the bottle. The girls also liked that they got to throw money in the water.

Today, we went to Holy Hill for the arts and crafts fair. Steve and I went a long time ago, before we were married. I love going to the Basilica. It is so peaceful and beautiful. I would love to go when the leaves are changing colors. We did buy a picture, from an artist with Holy Hill in the background. My mom has one that has snow angels in front of the Basilica. I was hoping I could get a good picture and get it framed to hang on my wall.

Drew's first Gym class

We signed Drew up for a gym class at our local fitness center. Drew had lots of fun, his friends Dane and Micah are also in the class. Drew did OK, it's his first class of anything. I think as he gets used to it he will listen better.
Tonight he did a somersault all by himself. So he has already learned something in the first week of class. Drew can't wait until next week. He was so happy after class he came home and told grandma "Gym Class Fun"
