South Dakota Trip - Harvest - 10.11.11 - 10.19.11

Family Day in the Mountains -10.4.11

We spent an entire day in the mountains in the beginning of October.  It was perfect as the leaves were changing colors and the weather was mild.  It was a wonderful family day.

Swinging at the Park - 10.3.11

Pumpkin Painting - 10.1.11

We painted pumpkins with our neighbors to kick off the Halloween season this year.

The activity held the attention of Ella and Hope by far the longest.  The boys were off doing other things in the garage soon after we began.

San Diego Weekend Sept. 22-25

Paul and I were able to take a weekend trip to see Travis Teets, a high school friend of Paul's, get married in San Diego.  It was a great weekend spent with friends while the kids were home with Grandma Theresia.

 We toured the U.S.S. Midway in the Bay while we were there.

 We spent some time at La Jolla Beach on the Pacific Ocean.

 The guys threw the frisbee around a while.

 And finally we enjoyed the beautiful wedding of Travis and Christina.

Swimming Lessons

Torin is taking his first swim class this Fall on Monday nights that he'll have to pass to move on to the next class.  This is also first class where Paul and I don't go in the pool with him.  The first week was rough, but now he is loving it.
