Halloween Eve fun

We went with Tiffany, Kyle, and Joshua to the Sunnyside High carnival put on by the AVID kids. It was wonderful. The kids were great, the helpers were so nice and encouraging to our little ones, and the company was great. And good news... we found Waldo.

Teddy Bear picnic

Cole and his buddy, Jose, went to their Teddy Bear picnic a few weeks back. They had different stations and Cole was able to take "Cowie", his best cow. I had fun watching all the kids play.

Starr Jog-a-thon

Cole, along with all of the school ran the jog-a-thon last Friday to raise money for the school. The kiddos didn't quite understand that they had to keep running so they all pretty much ran one lap and were done. They figured it out and didn't complain too much about it. Cole was pooped after the 6 laps (they double them for the kinders- so count it as 12). It was a fun morning and Q and I enjoyed cheering them on.

First day of School

I have been neglectful in posting these pictures, so back up a month. In August Cole started kindergarten. He has Mrs. Baucher (the same teacher Avery had) and is loving it. He is making great friends and fits in well. I intended to take and post pictures of Avery, but there is some sort of change between 2nd and 3rd because Avery is far less interested in pictures. She just walked right in to her class, and I have no pictures yet. She is doing well and has quickly entered into a routine in class. They each do an oral report every week on a topics like her favorite shirt or best summer memory. They also "raised" snails in class, and I have to admit I was a little upset when I saw her hop off the bus carrying "Jewel". All in all we are figuring out a schedule. Q and I are having fun in the mornings and have been running errands or playing with friends or cousins.

A family reunion (almost)

Here (along with the previous post) are some pictures of the Mullins side of the family. Elijah and Melissa, Erin, and Bryan and I were here along with Grandma and Uncle Chris. It was fun to see Grandma with her grandkids and great grandkids. What an awesome legacy she has created.

Q is 3

We celebrated Quentin's 3rd birthday with the Mullins side of the family. Emerson also turned 3 and Grandma had a birthday too, so we celebrated together. Elijah & Melissa and John & Erin were here. It was the first time we have all been together. Quite fun.
