Good Bye 3 ABC...

Can I just say - WE LOVE OUR CHURCH FAMILY!!

O my, tonight was our goodbye party at church...not much to say.  Just kidding.  It was SOOOOOOOO emotional!  Dan started crying in front of the whole church.  We were up there getting our "picture" and giving prayer requests ect, and then we looked out and literally everyone was balling and that was it! We are going to miss everyone so much.  God has truly blessed our time here.

After the service was a dessert time and fellowship where we got to say personal goodbyes ect.  Here are a few cute pictures of the kids with their friends.

A Visit from the Dark Side

Darth Vador has visited our home.  He left this video clip before he killed everything in the house!

(note - this is the 4th time he did it, and he isn't as cute as the first time...but still worth watching, esp if you are a relative.  The first time he said it, he then turned around and beat the crap out of the boxes behind him!!!I was laughing so hard it took me a min to realize this had to be on film.  Note  also the evil laugh with his head tilted back! ).   Loving it:)



On a different note. the packing is going well.  We have rentors.  A nice couple from our church.  They will move in in November.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Trick or Treating at the Zoo

I am in such a hurry these days that I totally forgot to edit these photos.  You'll just have to tilt your head and...then ENJOY!!!

Fall Festival at Southern

Again, Southern outdid themselves.  We had an amazing time this year at the Fall Festival.  It was Western themed, so I bought the kids bandanas and when we arrived they each got a cowboy hat in a color of their choice and a sheriff pin.

The dinner was Chick-Fil-A, cokes and chips.  Then they had stands(like the one above) with Fried oreos, elephant ears, and pickles.  They also had cotton candy, caramel corn, nachos, jumbo pretzels and rootbeer.

The blow ups and bounce houses were the fun.  There was also apple bobbing, pony on a stick races, crafts and SO MUCH more.

3rd grade

This "IS" Hannah's signature pose.  I was looking through some I took of her this weekend at Disney, and she is like this in every pose:) 
3rd grade is going well....She has a lot more home work!  As long as we keep her focused she can get it done in a timely manner.  It isn't easy for her though. 
Her teacher is very nice, and we are looking forward to a great year.

olypmics

Since this was the first year H and C really understood the Olympics we went all out.  We made torches and stayed up really really really late watching the opening ceremonies.  Then we watched TV for 2 weeks straight!!  They loved it. And pretty much after every viewing they were trying to be Olympians.  Even ML got into it.  She was jumping off of pillows pretending to be diving.  We were pretty sure C would be rushed to the emergency room at one point.  But he survived.

random cuteness

The last Saturday of the summer was spent at the Zoo.  Here they are posing all nice and cute. 

Hannah's riding lessons

Instead of a sport this year, H has chosen riding lessons.  She is very good at it, and not afraid.  The younger 2 like to go as well and pet the horses.

Keeping cool

Like most of you, we are doing everything possible to stay cool this week.  Last night we hit up the splash park at the zoo. (along with the free carosel rides)  Today we went swimming at the Seminary.
