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

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!

Pumpkin Prowl at the Zoo

While Daddy's away....

So Austin left last Thursday for his annual hunting trip and we have been keeping busy! Kendall had dance class on Thursday night, Friday night we visited with the Marecle's. Saturday the Kowalchuck kids came over for a couple of hours and then aunt Patty from Spokane stopped by with Grandma Fisher. Then on Sunday we couldn't pass up the beautiful day- we headed up to Seattle for our first visit to the Woodland Park Zoo. It was the zoos- Pumpkin Prowl. We loved the zoo and we definitely will go back when daddy comes home. The rest of the week has been pretty much business as usual with the kids in school and me working on Mondays. Austin will make a special trip home for Halloween so will post that later. Then he will be back to hunting that big elk!
Avery Update-- Avery is now 4 months- wow that was fast! She can roll from her back to her tummy, she is smiling and laughing and wants so badly to sit up. She has discovered her hands and reaches for everything- her personal favorite is my hair!
