another season ends down state

we had 1 runner make it down and the family was thinking of not going since my body's a bit of a wreck. Believe it or not the students wouldn't have it so we packed up and got on the bus.

i guess "coach" really means all 7 of us

as her and liv were having swimming races I was amazed that a year in august she had never even seen a pool now she is working on side breathing and flip turns

if your running there's no playing in the pool, and here is B hanging in the hot tub while the other boys play with our kids

finally gray pushed him in

as you see the other coaches love the kids too "uncle gus" calls gray "son"

i hope they"ll never be to big to plop down and play together

and the other coach who mei loves!

"climbing Everest"

the proud coaches

and a little sword fight action. I love the races anyway but being down state is a real spectacle and very fun to watch especially when your runner run at his best!

today B hates the "regular school" thing

we went to see the penner girls

everyone tried on their costumes, lovely.

so this was a day of imagination, here are the beautiful butterflies

dancing, spinning, twirling you name it they did it

then they played mommy and auntie

doctor

here i guess they are imagining they actually know how to play pool

we are so blessed that God brought this family in to our family they fit like a glove. we had big fun with our cousins today, sorry B and dave you would have loved it too

halloween trunk or treat

here are my rocker and mickey mouse. why? you ask well other than the obvious...

one of his "ladies" was minnie. (Esther got the picture of them together so look to her for that pic)

we enjoy every minute we get with them

there is gray trick or treating it's really fum

G is always silly in pictures but he wanted to look like he was in space. I think its good the zero gravity look, saige obviously is still on the earth

I was a snow flake but feeling horrible so didn't get my whole costume on and we had jj visiting wearing what was skys 1st costume made by grandma gail, wouldn't she love to see jj wearing it after all these years

go mickey

jj was a very popular m&m

when B and A get together we mostly get these kind of pictures. not complaining it's already hanging up in our house

hooray Dumbo came for a visit

another specialer since Brooke let gray use this costume for his first Halloween . loved it then and love it now.if I was savvy enough I could post them side by side. you will find then in my house too

trick or treating, a great band marshmallows is this a party or what?

I must state nobody loves this baby like mei. we had this litle guy at 3 weeks old and in that time mei grew to love him. He was the first little baby that she ever viewed as fun not work like they were in China she asks about him almost every other day. she said maybe we can keep him another month, I was glad his mom didn't hear it.

a bunch of friends and the "hidden gray" notice the "holloweenies" as we call those who don't dress up, hum both mine had costumes

I don't really know what G was going for this time but his friend next to him was my favorite costume of the night, you can't see to good but his head is shaved and he was Mr. T I loved it a total throw back to my youth hilarious!

after the fun we went to aunt lynns for super mooch and more fun with the fam. baby A walked out with these huge gloves walking like Frankenstein it was so funny. p.s. she is crazy about sky

what better way to end the day than to share a snack with your cousin? perfect ending to a great day!
