Fall Family Pictures

Family Pictures

We took family pictures today. It was incredibly sunny so that's why everyone looks so squinty. I think we're going to take more pictures later on today. If we do I'll post them.

Chase's First Place District Race

This week Chase won 1st place in Cross Country Districts. On Halloween he is going to regionals in Seattle. It was really awesome because we got to Kelso High School right as Chase was sprinting the last 100 yards his race! It was really awesome!!! Turns out he was interviewed by a reporter and the next day there was a big article in the paper about him. It was really cool.

Camp Fire!

Grandma Pat came up this week to visit and also to watch Chase race. It's been a lot of fun! On Sunday we decided to build a fire in our backyard and roast hot doggies and make S'mores. I love s'mores. They are so delicious! It was a really nice night except for all of the mosquitoes. The fire was really hot because the wood was so dry, but it was cool because by the end of the night the fire had started glowing blue. It was cool! The sky was clear so when it got dark you could see the stars pretty well too! All in all, it was a fun night! By the way, don't you just love Chase's Sunday outfit?

Back to School Update

I'm the last person to go back to school so here I am. This is my first "official" day of college, even though I've been going for the last year or so. I guess it was pretty fun, but it doesn't even feel like I've had a summer vacation. It was good to see my friends.

Cute Dog

Here is a cute picture of Lala. I've been meaning to put this one up for a while, but I just haven't gotten around to it till now. She's just the stupidest dog, but she's so stinking cute!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Here is a birthday card that I drew for Grandpa. (I, meaning Abbie...). What can I say? I'm a girl of many talents! ; ) Looks pretty good I think. I used a plethora of languages on this card. There is Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Swedish, Italian, German, Dutch and Romanian...and English of course... : ) Thank goodness for google translate. I'm satisfied with that card. I think it's the best I've ever done. (^o^).
