Fall fun

Lance and I had a date night 💙 to see Garth Brooks at the Tacoma Dome last Saturday.  We had so much fun.  He put on a great show!

 

My girlfriends and I took all the kids to see Disney on Ice at Showare center in Kent.  The kids were all mesmerized by the Disney characters ice skating and had so much fun together watching the show. 

We had our hands full with 6 kiddos so were happy to discover that they served wine!  A must have for stressed out mommas!  🍷

We also had our first snow!  So crazy that it is snowing in early November.  So pretty.  ❅

Another video of Carson's sweet dance moves.  Unfortunately, he recently dropped out of his hip hop dance class ( he didn't like being the only boy in class).  As you can see he is pretty talented!

Happy Halloween 2017

Halloween was kind of a downer this year.  Lance was in Tulsa for a work trip (although he went out with co-workers, see picture below), and Rylee and Carson were just getting over being sick.  They were both in good spirits at the beginning of the night.  They both loved putting their vampire make-up on and had fun trick-or-treating to 3 of their favorite houses in the neighborhood.  After that, Rylee didn't feel well and ended up coming home to help hand out candy.  Luckily, my mom was here and able to take Carson around the rest of the neighborhood.  We only got one group of trick-or-treaters this year.  What a bummer!  We ended the night over at Mandy and Jons house for some chili and family time.  

Carson's first soccer game

 Carson started playing soccer again this fall.  Last time he played, it was with "Kidz love soccer" and they didn't have games, just taught the fundamentals of soccer.  This year he joined the parks and rec pee wee soccer league.  His team is called the Soccer Sharks.  He had his first game today and he was super excited to play.  He was so cute, he had a smile on his face the whole time.  He even scored a goal!!  

 We discovered he had 2 friends on the opposing team.  Parks (one of his lake friends) and his "girl" friend Peyton from his class.  That made the game just a little bit more fun!  Peyton even scored a goal while Carson was the goalie.  Oops!

 Go Soccer Sharks!

Pumpkin Patch fun

 We took advantage of the last sunny day before the rain and storms hit by going to Maris Farms for some pumpkin patch fun.  There are so many fun things to there, we ran out of time!  There was a jumpy mat, corn maze, rat-roller, and underground slide just to name a few of their favorites.  We were having so much fun we didn't realize it was almost time to go! We had to quickly pick out the perfect pumpkins and pay before closing time.  Stay tuned for pictures of the decorated/ carved pumpkins!

Another birthday celebration at Great Wolf Lodge

 Rylee chose a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge over a birthday party this year, which I think is awesome!  So much easier for me!  I love going there in October because they have so many fun "Howl-O-Ween" activities!  The kids had fun dressing up, trick or treating, completing a scavenger hunt, decorating cupcakes, dancing at the late night dance party, and of course swimming and playing in the water!

Rylee's 8th birthday

Rylee is 8!  We started the celebration with a mom and daughter pedicure at our favorite nail place.  After getting pampered we went over to Jon and Mandy's house for a family dinner and Seahawks game.  She opted out of a birthday party this year and instead decided to go to Great Wolf Lodge with the family.  We are headed there next weekend.  We'll also do a girls sleepover next month as a late celebration.

On her actual birthday I brought cupcakes to her class and got to have lunch with her and her friends.  It was so much fun!  Happy birthday to my sweet 8 year old!

Congrats Mathew!

We went to Sequim last weekend to help our nephew Mathew celebrate becoming an Eagle Scout.  We are so proud!
