Cassidy and Halle... having a fun day

It started with lunch at McDonalds...

Things started getting a bit crazy!

Then they got really cute!

Then it was back to the house to jump off the sugar from that hot fudge sundae.

Soon, I was the target of a couple of crazy drivers.


The tunnels were a good distraction.

Of course, no playdate is complete without having a nice plate of rocks with your coyote family. :) (I guess you had to be there!)

Getting worn out... starting to teeter totter.

Then it was inside to paint a picture or two.

They finally ended up in Cassidy's room and turned on the Little Mermaid. It was a full day!

Well....

Brandon got his first pair of Heelys. I was watching him trying to balance and a picture of the ER flashed before my eyes. On the other hand... he is sooo excited. He has wanted a pair for quite some time. He started by trying to hold onto the counter and find his balance. He could barely stand up. Then went on to having someone pull him while he tried to balance. We were running around in spokane, so he practiced in every store.





I was impressed. Brandon "no risk" Norton after only 1 1/2 hours in his new shoes.



We warned him... as soon as he is good enough to go zooming around in the stores is about the time we are going to start yelling at him to stop zooming up and down the aisles. Also, the agreement to buy the shoes included the "we CAN take your wheels away at any time for any reason" clause.

Fun Day at Siemer's farm

The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of fun!

Playing at Siemer's Farm

Cassidy took the bouncy way down, while Brandon went for the straight slide.

If Cassidy could have anything her heart desired

She would have her own dinosaur.

Last Day of Soccer

Cassidy woke up this morning with a stomach ache and not feeling very good at all. With the awful stomach bug that has been going around I was preparing myself for the constant laundry and general ickyness that was sure to come. Luckily she never did get sick and bounced right back to her old self within a couple of hours. I guess sometimes a stomach ache is just a stomach ache! Unfortunately, while we were diagnosing her, she missed her last soccer game of the season. She was a bit upset, but took it like a trooper.


Looking a big droopy.


A Soccer trophy seemed to perk her right up!


Cassidy and her Charles Daniel. So Cute!




Here's Brandon and Micah. Brandon is head over heels for her. It is very very cute!


Warming up and waiting for pizza.


Those are some big pizzas! The kids were all up to the challenge though. I think there were only a couple pieces left between the 2 when we left.


Brandon getting his certificate and trophy.




Look! Jeff let me take his picture!

Enjoying Having the Day Off

Brandon had no school and had a lot of fun having a friend over. We have been so busy since school started that it hasn't been easy to fit a lot of fun in on the weekdays!

Cassidy's First Field Trip

We went to Carver's Farm. The kids had fun. They got to pick 2 ears of "popcorn", then rode on a big trailer pulled by a tractor to the pumpkin patch where they got to pick 2 little pumpkins, 2 gords, and 1 bigger pumpkin. We had quite a load to carry back to the car!
