Our smart girl!

As prove that Emma really loves school she has hit two awesome milestones in the last week. She made ready reader level one which means that she is reading some and able to answer questions, getting most correct. She was fifth in her class to reach this level. And she got Tiger Club which means that she is ready to learn everyday, nice to others, respectful of adults, etc. She was only the third in her class to get this. We are way too proud!!

Party Time!!

Emma was invited to her first party for a friend that she met at Kindergarten. We went to the Family Fun Center and had a fun time. Owen tagged along also and enjoyed throwing money away on video games he didn't know how to play but liked pushing buttons anyway.

Emma is quite the daredevil. She loves roller coasters, the ferris wheel and the frog hopper. Her friend Karissa next to her laughed but held on to the bar for dear life the entire time.

Can you tell they have been playing hard?

Happy Halloween!!

We had a fun party. I made green eyeballs and punch and we ate pizza before passing out nearly 300 pieces of candy. Emma and Owen had their friends there to help and both had a lot of fun trick or treating.
Buzzlightyear to the rescue.

Becca, Morgan, Emma (wonder woman or watermelon as Owen calls her), and Philip.

Enough said...

Luke was moonlighting as Superman.

Too fun!!!

Backyardigans are here!

Last year we decided to take Emma to see Go Diego Go at the Paramount for her Christmas present from us. She absolutely loved it and we had a fun time. There were tons of kids and it was loud and crazy and fun. So this year, we took both Owen and Emma to see the Backyardigans, which are a group of kids who go on adventures in their backyards and their imaginations run wild. It's a very fun show to watch. The kids were awesome and they loved the show, although Scott and I thought the plot was a little boring. The singing was fun and it's the perfect length for wee ones. Owen got crazy before the show even started.

Emma got to wear her pretty princess dress. She even walked the streets of Seattle like a princess, one hand holding up her skirt allowing it to sway side to side. Too funny!

Also, this Friday, Emma got another 9/10 on a spelling test. She is still loving school and read me a book the other day Biscuit Goes to School. She is learning a lot very quickly. What an amazing treat as a parent...and teacher.

Go Eagles!!

It was our homecoming game on Friday the 24th and the kids and I went to the game. This was the highlight of Emma's night, getting a picture taken with the cheerleaders. If you ask her what her favorite thing is about going to the football game with us it's the cheerleaders. And don't get in her way when they are doing a cheer, she might bite!

Remlinger Farms

This was Emma and Owen after the long day. I forget I have to put these in opposite order when downloading so you can start from the bottom and get it in chronological order. They were pooped after the long and fun day. Both fell asleep on the way home so we drove extra slow. Both kids road the canoe ride and thankfully Owen didn't try to play in the water.

Another fun ride...I was a little scared though...really!

We went to Remlinger Farms in Carnation for a Day of fun with Papa and Nana. We rode the pumpkin ride. Although it was not mommy's favorite, Owen and Emma enjoyed fighting over the bar that brought the pumpkin up and down and up and down. Fun... We rode the train and while it was not like Disneyland (which was pointed out by everyone) it was fun. It was a very cold day, but we snuggled up in one car and tried to keep each other warm. We fought over who could hold Owen for warmth.

Owen wanted to show his buzzlightyear impersonation...nice, huh? He's practicing for the real thing.

Both kids road ponies...two times. They had a really fun time, however we all got a workout dodging the mounds of horse droppings along the route.

Batman!!!!

I found these jammies and couldn't resist. The minute he put them on he was instantly transformed into Batman. With his batman sword no less.
