Trunk or Treat

The kids had a ball at the trunk or treat. We had Jayda dressed as a lady bug, but then it was raining and the activity was moved into the church. We thought she would be to hot, so we traded costumes to a bee. She looked darling in both.

Sisters Visit

I'm the luckiest gal around! My two older sisters came out when I had Jayda. They were such fun and a great help. Last week, my two younger sisters came out with their husbands and little ones for a visit and we had the best time! I love being with family!

Boo at the Zoo

We got tickets to go to the National Zoo and participate in the "Boo at the Zoo". We took the metro in to the zoo, had the kids in costume and went trick or treating. There were several animals out to see and they had different booths set up down the main stretch of the zoo to trick or treat at. The kids especially enjoyed the popsicles (even though it was super chilly outside) and the cotton candy. We arrived in time to see the elephants eating pumpkins and the panda bears eating leaves. The kids had a great time!

Every Day Life

Nothing to exciting going on right now...but I hadn't posted for awhile, so I thought I would put up a few pictures.

Firsts for Jayda

We put Jayda in her saucer today. She LOVED it! When she figured out she could make the bead-filled cylinder spin, she was giggling. It was fun to watch. She's been grabbing her toes for awhile, but I thought this was a cute picture. Also, today she rolled from her back to her tummy by herself! Pretty fun stuff for a baby turning 5 months old tomorrow! We love you, Jayda!

Fun Week

We did a couple of fun things this week. We had a field trip with friends to a park, which the kids loved playing at. It was incredibly hot and made me wish for fall weather. Friday, we went with our friends, the Ferrels, to a mall to play at their playland area. It happened that there was a drummer that came to make music with his tall drum and he also let the kids play it. Then, "Mr. Knick Knack" showed up. He is this guy that comes on Fridays with his guitar and plays for the kids and leads them in singing songs. Cole, Sadie and Berkeley loved playing the drum and dancing to the guitar music.

Visit to Pittsburgh

We went to visit my parents on their mission in Pittsburgh for the long weekend. We had the best time! The kids especially enjoyed seeing their grandparents after a five month break.
