NOVEMBER IN PICTURES!

The Boy got a new bed! He is cuh-RAZY about all things Thomas the tank engine so this REALLY made his day.

The girls had some fun with the Thomas 'face' before it became a permanent piece of the bed...





4 little monkeys stuck in a cage.....



That's my boy

We read this book around Thanksgiving and made a craft that involved a cardboard 'suitcase' and the girls cut out pictures of things they would take along with them if THEY were passengers on the Mayflower...

OCTOBER IN PICTURES


This little sweetheart turned 9!



She wanted to go on a walk around a local pond...
 
and hunt for bugs....



We also spent some time at the skating rink. And made 263 new friends.  :)

This little guy got a hair cut...


and helped me in the kitchen....

so did this gal (help me in the kitchen that is)...

Making music amidst a mess..

 Learned about the Mayans in school and made a Mayan Codex...



Making clay pots (like the mayans, though I dont think they had Crayola watercolors back then....)
Mayan foods....

Quinoa....

The younger 2 girls and myself liked the quinoa. The others? Not so much....
Big sisters went to the dentist one day so the younger 2 and I had our own fun. Jaidyn and I made some book marks with my stamp sets...
The boy and I made a KILLER track...


He is the master of his railway

Yeah. So THAT happened....

Ran Race for the Cure at the end of October with some awesome buddies (one being the awesome Mrs. Omaha!)

Sept 2012



 September in PICTURES!

Ran this AWESOME race for the first time in September.  The Peak to Peak 10 mile race which runs from near the Bellevue Peak Performance up the Keystone Trail and finishes near the Omaha Peak Performance store. Two of my favorite running sidekicks did this with me. That power house next to me in yellow is Megan and super sweet Jen is behind me in black. Love those gals.


*At the finish with Megs and Jens and the ever so fashionable Rachel-she's one of my running buds, too.

^My oldest also turned 12 in September. 12!! Here she is helping to make a cake with Skylar.

^Licking the bowl!

^She choose to have a banana split for her birthday instead of cake-my kinda gal =)

^One of the things Savavnnah wanted to do for her birthday was go to Mahoney State Park and go on a horse back ride with her Daddy....upon arriving, The Boy checks the map to make sure we're going the right way. Only 4 and he already knows that Mommys is directionally challenged

^ We walked up a TAAAALLLL observation tower to survey the land. Well, SOME people walked to the top, SOME people stayed near the bottom because.... well, just because....=)

 
^Here it is from the ground....(!!!!!)

^View from 1/2 way up the tower. I dont think my camera would have functioned at the outrageous altitude at the TOP of the tower so for it's sake, I stopped mid-way. I'm so nice.


^While Savannah and Daddy went on their horse ride, I took the rest of my clan and we went exploring...

...and met some kiddos who had some other-worldly ability to catch these microscopic frogs. They were professionals, people.  Clearly been doing this a long time.

We were slightly low on pictures for this month as I dont think I uploaded all of Ariel's pictures onto my computer (she, as I've said before, is our family photographer so she's the one capturing the reality of our life-I'm responsible for the big moments. We're a good team)  =)
