Dogs

Jonah was asked to take care of our friends' dogs while they went out of town. He has been so excited because he really wants a dog. He is trying to show us how responsible he is. He is doing a great job. Tonight we brought them here during a walk. They played in our back yard and the dogs chased balls and had lots of fun. There was also a beautiful sunset to top it off.

Jacey and Me

Jacey and I went to a Mother Daughter Activity! We got to eat dinner, make crafts, decorate sugar cookies, and sing "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" (which gets stuck in your head forever!!) The best part about the evening was that we got to leave the boys at home! :)

Update

The leaves on the trees finally started changing colors, so last Saturday I forced my children to dress in matching color shirts and go take pictures. I guess the forcing part was the downfall, because the pictures didn't really turn out. With four kids all going in their own direction, there wasn't a single picture where all of them were looking at the camera. I told the kids we WILL try again another day.

We saw this truck parked outside our friends' house,

and Joe had to take pictures of the kids under it. :)

This Saturday, the 3 younger kids and I went on a Fire Station tour. Jaxon was a little scared of the whole thing and kept hiding his eyes. But it was fun.

Joe had his birthday yesterday!
Happy Birthday Joe!

Jacey lost another tooth!

Here is her almost toothless grin!

Time Change

The time change did Jaxon in. He just couldn't make it one more minute. He was eating dinner and started falling asleep. He went to lay down on the couch and was out the rest of the night except a few minutes while we changed him into his pajamas. Poor thing.

Happy Halloween

Joe was in a serious accident on Halloween....
Luckily he recovered the next day.
