Next it was Moms turn to come for a visit! They traveled separately because their two four legged children, Jack and Doughnut, back home don't do well when they are boarded. It's better for us anyway because we get more time with them individually. While she was here my friend Bekah and I ran in our first 10K! This is an accomplishment for me because I am not a runner but I finished with a time of 54:11. A time I hope to smash it on the next one I do. I had the cutest group of cheerleaders too, they cheered me on which helped me to finish strong! Mom was also here to celebrate Caleb's first birthday! We had some family over for cake and ice cream and kept it pretty low key. Caleb really enjoyed his football cupcake, check out the death grip he has on it! Grams took the girls individually to see Dolphin Tale and they all really enjoyed it. It got Abi thinking about being a marine biologist someday and working with dolphins. :) We also took Grams to the park behind our house and had a picnic lunch after Abi came home from school. The weather was beautiful that day with the dark clouds and a chilly breeze! Loved it!
That's our dirty boy! He loves getting into whatever he can and is not afraid to show it. :) On this day he was so dirty everywhere I just had to take his picture. Grandpa Bob came for a visit and we really enjoyed having him here. We took him to Abi's T-ball game where he met her little school friend Sam, they are best buds! Caleb enjoyed playing with Abi's pink bat a little too much, he'd cry every time it got taken away. We also took GB to ice cream, to Leah's gymnastics class and a T-ball practice where he and Leah played some more. Other then that all extra spare time was playing on the trampoline.
We had a great time this Halloween in our new neighborhood. We had a little party in the front yard, met a lot of our new neighbors and had some good friends over! It was great! The kids got to Trick-or-Treat and we made some new connections in our hood. We have even received AWESOME homemade salsa from the folks across the street as a result of our party, yes! This year all the kiddos were supposed to be pirates for Halloween. But we had one go princess on us and the other did not want to wear his pirate hat. Oh well, they still are the cutest kiddos on the block.
Leah LOVES going to her gym class. She is stretching, learning to tumble, and having lots of fun on the equipment. I think the rings are her favorite. In her class she has a little friend named Kylee and they have lots of fun together. Kylee's mommy took these great pictures of the kids in action. Occasionally, the kids coach will allow the parents to come down on the floor to participate in some playtime, fun!!
