Amanda & Morgan

Amanda loves to "read" to her little sister, and Morgan loves to listen to every word she is saying.

Amanda's Birthday

For Amanda's actual 6th Birthday we went to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate.

Zach's Thanksgiving Show and "Feast" at preschool

At Zach's preschool they put on a little Thanksgiving show where they sing some songs and then they sit down together and eat their "feast." They made all of their own costumes and all of their own food. Here are some pictures, and you can see his cast really well in these pictures too.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Amanda & Zach's Birthdays

Amanda and Zach had a joint Birthday party on November 15th. Unfortunately we didn't get too many pictures because Zach was playing on the top bunk of his bunk bed during the party and fell off and broke his arm. So, Ben and Zach spent the remainder of the party in the ER. He is feeling better now and he loves his little blue cast.


At least I got one good picture of the girls and my parents:


Zach and his splint from the hospital:

Amanda and her Birthday brownies she got on her actual Birthday:

Amanda Lost a Tooth

So Amanda lost her first tooth a few weeks ago. Here is her picture with her tooth and her gap in her teeth. She lost her second tooth the following morning.

BVP

So here is a picture with Ben and Bradlee Van Pelt, who was the quarterback for CSU a few years ago. He was very excited to meet him! :-)

Halloween 2008

The kids got to go to a few Halloween parties this year. Here are some pictures from the party at the Country Club:

Ready for trick-or-treating:

It was pretty funny because their cousin Paige came over and she was dressed just like Amanda

We went over to their cousin Allison's house after trick-or-treating

Daddy's Birthday

The kids worked very hard decorating cakes for Daddy for his Birthday.

Morgan's first pony tail

This picture just cracks me up. Her first pony tail.

Our October

We had a busy October. Amanda had a two week fall break, so we decided we would go to California. We flew out on Friday night and stayed with our good friends Rob & Beth in San Diego on Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday, we all went to Disneyland together. Here are some pictures from our day.

They were of course tired by the end of the day. But they did have to show off the good stuff they got:

Amanda with her hat and baby Pluto

Zach with his Star Wars Transformer

On Sunday we went to the beach. We all had such a great time. The kids were in long sleeves because it was supposed to be pretty chilly, but it turned out to be beautiful.

Amanda and her sandcastle

What a great day at the beach! Thanks Rob & Beth

Just our family drove up to Anaheim on Sunday night and went to Disneyland again on Monday and Tuesday.

At the end of the last night Amanda and Zach rode the roller coaster together and had a great time.

Goodbye Disneyland.
