2007 Iditarod Elem. Pumpkin Festival

The kids had a great time at the pumpkin festival... and that was the longest $8.00 has lasted me in years! Nana and Ap'A went with us, the boys played games and we had a ball. Even Tysen, I mean Spiderman, got his first lick of a tootsie pop!

My 3 Boys

My three Awesome Boys and I on October 20, 2007

Oct 20 brings first snow

Well, we woke up to the first real snow (to actually stick that is). The first words out of Donovan's mouth were "I wanna go and wear my boots Mama!" And "I wanna go snowmachining!" It is a bit early to get out the snow-gos... but not to eary to dust off the boots and get a ride across the yard in the sled. Brandon was spending the night with Ap'A and Nana, and Ty was taking a nap, but D and Mama had such fun today in the season's first snow.

Today's Bathtime

He is sure beginning to fill it out, but here is Ty during today's bathtime!

Brandon's cross country meet

Brandon's cross country season wrapped up in a big race involving several local and regional schools. He did so well and had a great experience. He came in for his school and 7th overall. (Brandon is the runner in a red shirt and blue pants)

Look how big Ty is getting!

This was Donovans favorite ride - as soon as they got off, he HAD to ride it again!


Ty just turned 6 months old and is 17 1/2 pounds!

Tracie and I at the Park with the kids....

Playing at Wonderland Park

We visited the park again, this time with Tracie (my sister-in-law), and cousins, JC and Sydnie. It was such a beautiful day, hot and sunny. We rode bikes, took pictures in teh flowers and went for ice cream treats afterwards.

Face Painting and Rock Wall Climbing!

Well we went to Governor Palin's picnic here in Wasilla today and it was a blast! My mom, the kids and I enjoyed hot dogs, hamburgers, root-beer floats, popcorn, numerous games and booths etc. The highlights for the kids though included face painting, a giant inflatable slide and the rock wall that Brandon go to climb with the help of the National Guard.
