Halloween Day


We began our Halloween very early in the morning. Brevin was up at 5:20 getting ready to be picked up by his coach at 5:50. He had a baseball tournament at Twin Creeks in north San Jose. Luckly his coach gave him a ride so that we didn't have to have the whole family ready that early. We got him out the door and then got ourselves ready. Brevin played very well and pitched 4 innings between the 2 games they played that day. Between games we did a little birthday shopping(he got money for his birthday and it was burning a whole in his pocket). We went to a fun baseball store and he left with a really nice baseball glove. It's been quit cute, he has that glove in his hand constantly trying to break it in. He even lays in bed with it on. After some shopping we made it back to the fields for another game. They didn't win either, but still had a great time. Hopefully this weekends tourney will go better.


I thought this was a really cute picture of Brevin. Sometimes he looks so grown up it's scary!

After baseball we made it home in time for our ward Trunk or Treat. Zack had fun collecting candy from all the trunks. He also came back with these funky eyes, kind of creepy.


Here's the group. Just in case you can't figure out the costumes, Zack is Darth Varder, Jeret is a tree(funny), Clint is a pirate, and Brevin is a MLB player.


We decorated our trunk with the boyz pumpkins. They all came up with their own designs and dad helped with some of the craving. Note the glove in Brevin's hand! :)
What a fun Day!!!

Happy Birthday Brevin

Brevin decided that he would like to go to the Exploratorium in San Fran for his Birthday. We couldn't go on his actual Birthday so we went the Saturday before. He had his friend come with us and went for it. We spent about 4 hours there and needed more time. :)


Yes this is Zack drinking out of a toilet. It was pretty funny, he was laughing so hard I don't think he actually drank any water.


The thing I love most about the Exploratorium is that the boyz can touch and do everything. It's so fun to be able to try everything yourself. They had hours of fun and would of kept going except that they closed :(


After hours of exploring fun, we were all starving. We got on the road and found a Chevy's. The boys ate very well and even had room for some Birthday Ice Cream.


On Brevin's real Birthday, we celebrated with a caramel apple. Yummy....
Happy Birthday Brevin!

Boardwalk




We were lucky enough to have some friends that had extra passes to the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. They offered the tickets to us during the summer and never had a chance to go, crazy I know, but true. So anyway I got a phone call saying they were going to expire soon so I better use them. We kept checking the calendar and decided we could go after Brevin's flagfootball game. Clint couldn't go because of Scout Training stuff :(, but we decided we could go without him. We did really miss him, but still managed to have a lot of fun. The boys went from ride to ride and we never stopped until we went home. The only time someone was sad was when Zack wasn't big enough to go on the big roller coasters. I'm always amazed at his lack of fear!

I love the Fall!




I just love going on Field Trips. Zack's class went to the Pumpkin Park today in Morgan Hill. It was so fun. They got to ride the train, learn how pumpkins grow, go through a corn maze, and pick out their own pumpkin to take home. Does it really get much better then that for a Kindergartner? I forgot to mention the whole thing about riding on the bus...So exciting!

Who is that?


This was only about half of the hair that I actually cut off Jeret's head!


It took me a couple of days to get used to seeing him with short hair. I think it's been at least 2 yrs since I've seen the back of his neck. I think he looks so cute and way older.

Families are Forever

We did it!!!


This was our group.....


This was our goal......


This was the Mist Trail with what seemed like a million steps......



This was the sign that wasn't very encouraging.........


This was when I felt like the view was good enough from the sub dome.....

This was when we finally made it to the top.......


This was when I dared putting my feet over the edge......


AMAZING!!
Thanks Annie, Julie, Tammy, and Keri
