just playing around . . .

with the camera and a mirror. what a typical Sara expression . . . just need to do things that aren't the "norm" every once in awhile . . .

My attempt at 3 kids in the leaves

You know, it really wasn't all too bad since Layna stayed less than a minute. Judah is looking at the camera, though he has that "look" going on. Owen is smiling and squinting and Layna is thinking, this is a little too close for her comfort. Just glad I got them in the leaves together before the rest of the leaves get cleaned up . . . soon, I hope.

Happy 4th Birthday Owen!

Owen celebrated his 4th birthday in fine style. We had a CARS party at MeMa's and Pop Pop's house. It was complete with a pool ball game, ball pit, Mater, and Mac. We rounded out the afternoon by watching the movie in MeMa and PopPop's movie theater. Lots of fun was had by all. One thing Bri and I got a kick out of was that the twins thought they were just as "big" as everyone else and found their seats at the table for pizza and later cupcakes. So cute. Also, Jess made an appearance with baby Eli. Btw: She swung by on her way home from the hospital, having just given birth to him 2 days before . . . love you Jess!

soccer time!

Owen has had a soccer "class" this fall. The last class had been rescheduled from last week, he was the only one to show up. So we all enjoyed kicking, throwing and spinning balls around. Much to my surpise, Owen has done quite well and become a very good kicker. At this stage in our kids' lives, Layna is the best thrower. Judah really seems destined for football as you can see in the left picture as he is positioned over the soccer ball like a football player. They are all lots of work, but lots of fun too these days. Thanks for checkin' in with us!
