November's over???

November finished in a blink of an eye! Since the last post- I turned 34 and celebrated at the cheesecake factory and by attending the scrapbook convention. Grandpa Fisher and Sydney both celebrated birthdays too! We had an apple cup party at our house (a last minute thing) and the cougs actually won! Kendall went on her second sleepover birthday party, no problem saying good bye to mom, instead I hardly slept and put both phones by the bed just in case she called! The hunt for a trailer before camping season continues, but we have narrowed the search. We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year with my mom coming up. Grandma Spencer stayed the night so Austin and I could enjoy the shopping frenzy- a little disappointed in the sales, but at least accomplished a lot. We even cleaned the garage enough that weekend to park both cars in- no scrapping ice- Hooray! Oh, and by clean I mean shoved everything into a pile :0) On Sunday it was time to get the Christmas spirit and we put up the tree, the kids had a ball! The pictures pretty much tell the story!
For those on baby watch here is an Avery update: She had her last well baby visit and is doing well. She is 5 months now, she weighs 14 pounds one ounce and is 25 inches long. She is drinking both breast and formula. She started rice cereal and doesn't care much for it. Tried peas yesterday with the same ho-hum response. She is rolling all over the place! She has two bottom teeth that are desperately trying to break through making her oh so happy lately, but all and all she is doing wonderful and we are so fortunate to have such a healthy and happy addition to the family!

Seattle Thunderbirds

Seattle Thunderbirds

The first weekend in November was a great start to the month. On Friday night we took the kids to the Seattle Thunderbirds game in Key Arena. I had bought the tickets through the kids silent auction for a great price and they had to be redeemed during October or November so the game was against Red Deer? Not sure where they are from, but it was a great game none the less. Kendall was so surprised that they fight and push as part of the game, Logan loved to cheer with the crowd regardless if it was for Seattle and Avery was just amazed by all the sights and sounds that she was up the whole time- we left the game at 9:30pm! It was definitely a fun time. The team is actually moving in January to the new ice rink in Kent which will be even closer so we will definitely be going to another game. Who knows maybe I will get Logan excited enough to play :0) When we were walking back to the car Austin asked him "So are you going to play hockey?" Logan- "No" Austin- "Do you want to play football?" Logan- "No" A-"Do you want to play baseball then?" L-"No" A-"Why not? what do you want to play" L- "I don't want to get hurt so I'm gonna play checkers" I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants! I guess I need to sign the boy up for some sports!

Halloween 08

Halloween

Austin came home Thursday night and the party began! The kids were so excited to see him we went out to dinner, which was a nice treat for me. Then on Halloween it was full steam ahead! The kids needed to go to grandma Fisher's for a couple of hours so we could go to parent teacher conferences at their school. They are doing great in school and so now it was time to celebrate Halloween. We came home and carved our pumpkins. Austin helped Kendall with her pumpkin and I helped Logan carve Avery's as Logan's pumpkin had rotted. When it came time to draw a face on the pumpkins Logan wanted batman and Kendall wanted wonder woman-yeah, that will be easy?? So we did our best and the kids liked them. The kids got dressed and off to papa murpphy's we went. Grandma Spencer came up to go out trick or treating with us. Then lots of photos for mommy and time to go out trick or treating. We hit our neighborhood- all of two houses. Then we went to our favorite neighborhood in Sunrise where they all decorate their houses. Then we hit a few houses in Kim's neighborhood a busy and late night, but soooo much fun!
