Chloe had her dance recital today.

Here she is with her class and teacher Angie.
After her dance number


Striking a pose

Laney after a night soccer game. She loves soccer. She is playing on a team with girls up to 2yrs older than her.


Chloe and Tj observing from the trees.

She is quick one.


Halle has been super busy, Piano, Soccer, Volleyball and Mutaul, and school and now she babysits too.

Cooling down after a soccer game. I am to busy watching the games to remember to take pictures.

Doesn't it look a piano recital to you? Well it was a very fun recital. The kids got to dress up and they had yummy food and afterwards there were games.


Halle

Not the best pic but it was Laney's first recital and she did so good, especially since she only had two official lessons.


In case you cant tell we were the Rubbles and our good friends the Wrights were the Flinstones. Ginny was Pebbles and Tj was Bam Bam. Tj loved saying Bam Bam. Kristine made all of our costumes. It was kinda funny because some older kids didnt know who we were.


Laney-beat up soccer player, TJ-Thomas the train, Chloe-vampiress, Halle- Geisha, and Ginny was Belle.

Dont hate, I know I am Hot.


More McCrery time. We went out to the lake, Yes there is a lake in Arizona. The McCrerys have a boat and that was so fun for us. Some of our kids havent been on a boat before.

It was like a hundred degree day and the water was like 80. So perfect.
My wonderful friend Eden took this picture of me. I know your jealous. I would like to say that this was a rare look for me, however I look like this most of the time. Soccer in a t-shirt results in a bad farmers burn.


Tj and Sawyer.

The girls enjoying the ride from the front of the boat.



Our friends invited us to come up to their cabin for the weekend to see if we could spot some fall leaves. The leaves werent quite ready yet, but we had alot of fun and got to see some greenery.

So I thought that if I kept taking pictures maybe in the end we would have a good one. I was wrong.




























GINNY IS 1. Ginny was not walking on her birthday. That is a new first for our family.





Ginny didnt quite know what to do with her candles, so she had some help.

Ginny with her haul


Mommy and Chloe made this sign for her.




She seemed to know exactly what money was. (from Rick and Kylynn)

Ginny loved her doll that was sized just right for her












TJ in his big boy underwear. Potty training has begun at our house and it is totally awful. But TJ is very excited about the character underwear he gets to wear. Hopefully by the time he is 10 we will be done with this process.

I think the kids look cute in their uniforms. Halle isnt a fan of them, but it makes picking out your outfit quite easy.
Halle turned 12 this month. She experienced her first birthday celebration with just her family. We are having to learn to celebrate by ourselves since our family isnt here with us. However Halle had a party with her friends and they they all got their toes done. I didnt take a single pic of the whole night. However here is what we did on her official birthday.

Halle picked the drink for the evening. Grape crush, since purple is her favorite color right now.
Beef larb (a thai dish that Tony makes) and sticky rice.


Purple cake


Halle got two hermit crabs for her birthday.


Halle is growing up so quickly. I keep asking her to stop getting older and she agrees that would be a good idea, but we cant seem to stop the process. Halle is now in Young Womens, which she likes going to her mutual, but she thinks her Sunday class is a little boring. Halle is playing club soccer. She is also playing volleyball for her school. Halle is still playing the piano. We are so proud of Halle, she is a big help with her siblings and she is becoming a great babysitter. She had her first babysitting job and she likes making her own money.
