Baby J & the little kids!

The newness has not yet worn off!
Isaac and Camille still can't keep their hands off Baby J. They just love him so much!
Luckily, Baby J. doesn't seem to mind all of the attention! Isaac is still the best one at getting Baby J. to laugh! They have a very special brother bond!

Camille has given more kisses to Baby J. than any baby has ever received anywhere at any time! We joke that he is the "most kissed baby", and I really do believe this to be true!
It won't be long, and he will be able to run away from all those kisses!
(Enjoy it while you can Camille!!)

Aidan's Fall Concert

Last night was Aidan's fall concert. He plays the trombone for both the 7 & 8th grade Concert Band, as well as, the schools Jazz Band. He really loves it, and sounds great!! These are the new band t-shirts.
The picture below is the Jazz Band. Aidan gets to school an hour early three days a week for practice. This means he walks in the dark during the winter! I'm sure he will tell his kids how mean we were not to drive him all the time (and about the snow and it's uphill both ways!!)It is fun to see him find something he loves doing!
We are very proud of him!!

Hopewalks and the Pumpkin Farm!!

This past Saturday we participated again in HOPEWALKS: A Promise to the Children of the Epidemic. We walked to raise funds for children and families affected by AIDS, poverty and child slavery. The money raised goes to organizations that are meeting physical needs, as well as, reaching these kids and families with the love of Jesus. It was an awesome opportunity serve others as a family. It is also exciting that what we did Saturday will make an impact on the other side of the world!

Aidan isn't in our pictures because he was part of the event volunteer team.
Isaac had a great ride! Camille rode in the stroller part of the way, and also walked some. It would have been to slow for her to walk the entire way(she tends to stop to look at everything!!).
After HOPEWALKS, we went to a local flower farm, nursery and pumpkin farm. It was a very beautiful location in the foothills.
We rode on a hayride!

The hayride stopped at the chicken coop. The kids got to see the orange Halloween eggs the chickens have been laying!
Aidan & Elise! (Yes, he is that much taller than she is!) Isaac and Camille had fun choosing pumpkins!
We had a lot of help getting the pumpkins to the truck!

BANGS!!

OK, I will be the first to admit that the bangs are cute!
I just really liked her hair before. Before she took scissors and cut it herself! We are lucky, it was a pretty easy fix. We are also lucky that I was standing almost next to her when she did it, so I was able to stop her before she did even more damage! There is a section in the toward the middle of her head that is about an inch long, but I think it will all grow out just fine.

Isaac's Birthday!!

Isaac had his 4th birthday party this week! It is amazing how quickly he is growing up! He chose to have a dinosaur party, and picked out the decorations himself! We had the party in the evening and invited just a few friends. We had pizza and chips for the kids, while the adults had grilled salmon on crackers with cream cheese, capers and pimentos. Delicious!!We played "Pin the Skull on the Fossil". Isaac's skull was the closest, but he also peaked a little!
This year was a Star Wars year. He got Star Wars PJ's, a shirt, action figures and a light saber(is that right?). He was thrilled with this because Brian took him to see the new Star Wars Clone Wars movie and he LOVED it! (Oh the things you get to do when you have older siblings!)
Isaac also picked out his cake at the store. He loves dinosaurs, so this was perfect! I didn't realize until after he blew out the candles that the dinosaurs on the cake light up and roar. That would have been really fun! The candles spelled his name, which I had never seen before.
What a perfect cake for Isaac!

Here is the big wheel that Grandma and Papa K. gave him. He has already had a lot of fun speeding around in the backyard!
In the end, it was a fantastic evening. We enjoyed our friends, and Isaac enjoyed his. I think he felt very special and loved by everyone!
