Beach Cruisin'!

I've been meaning to blog about our newest family activity. Randy traded in his rarely used race bike for these two sweet beach cruisers and a baby seat for mine. Since getting these new rides we can be seen quite often riding around the neighborhood on a good day. Tess is the biggest fan of all always wanting to go bye bye on the "bah"-- throwing fits if she can't persuade us to take her!

Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween as usual. This year Chase chose to be a Storm Trooper-- after I talked him out of Darth Mal. Once he saw the storm trooper costume it was easy-- he couldn't wait to put it on! Tess was a Princess Witch! After attempting to borrow my friend Shannon's costume that turned out too big-- my mom offered to make us one! Didn't it turn out so cute? Hopefully it will get more use in the future. She made the perfect witch. I had spent all month long trying to teach her what the witch says-- and wouldn't you know it she came through on Halloween!

This season we went to the Lewis' Trunk-r-Treat, trick-r-treated, and had our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. I just love this time of year. We had a wonderful time being silly and spending time together. But now it's on to my next favorite time of year-- Thanksgiving!
