Kids on the Straw

The kids with their Grandma Elizabeth (Mark's Mom)

Pony Rides

This is what Avi looks forward to all year long; the pony rides at Country Mercantile!
She got to ride RENO for the 3rd year in a row. Az was on Midnight.

Azriel Turned 6!

Az celebrated his 6th birthday on October 17th! He wanted a cupcake cake. It ended up being a little funny so we just made it into a happy face and I could only find ONE candle. I was slightly unprepared. Azriel didn't care and had a good time anyway. We had a pizza and movie party at his request. The following Friday we went to Toys R Us and he got to spend all of his birthday money. He bought a rocket launcher, Army set. What else would my boy get???

August Flashback!

I went back in my blog and found that I had, indeed, already posted the soccer pics way back in August. I probably posted these as well. I'm going to leave this one up though anyway. I deleted the duplicate soccer postings.

I realize that throwing out some pics from August in the middle of my October pics is a little out of order but I wanted to get some soccer pictures from this year in. In the process of looking for soccer pictures I found these. I'm wondering if I posted them before. Hmmmm. If so, I'll just chalk it up to the fact that they're cute enough to post twice.

Liberty

She's now just about 18 months old. Time sure flies! I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with baby number 4! Halfway there. Our new baby girl will be here before Liberty turns 2! Crazy. Though not as crazy as the fact that Az and Avi are only 11 months apart! :-) I'm glad that Libby will have a little buddy closer to her age.

Winter Squash & Scare Crows!

These are some LOVELY winter squash I picked up at a local farm for only .25 cents a pound! I bought $20.00 worth, so I hope we'll be "in the squash" for a while!

The scare crows the kids made at a scare crow workshop. Their Grandma E signed them up and we all went and helped. It was fun.

Jack "O-Lantern"?

A few Random Fall shots!

Here's our kitty, Jack. He's hangin' with the pumpkins.

This was the pumpkin that I picked at the Country Mercantile. It was still growing so I got lots of stem!

And our new crow, that we bought at Michaels for 70% off. I always wanted a life-like crow to sit with my pumpkins!

Jack was looking at me and I think he was wondering why I stuck a pumpkin between his legs.

Jammie Time

I know, it's been a while since I've posted anything, except for the Thunder post. SO....here are some cute pics of Liberty in her jammies sometime in the last month and then one with Az and Avi being silly, as always!

No more THUNDER

We found a new home for our sweet little guinea pig, Thunder. He was really cute, "talkative", and all around a sweet little guy. The only problem is that I was the only one really paying any attention to him and I had to do all the cleaning and care. Avi was devestated for the first day but has all but forgotten about him now...and he's only been gone 3 whole days! :-)
However, Mark told Avi that if she would make sure the dog and cat were watered and fed every day without being reminded that she could get a lizard. LOVELY. She's been keeping up with her end of the bargain now for 3 days! She's quite motivated. So, it looks like there may be a lizard in our future.
