Halloween

The kids had a great time on Halloween.  They are loving their candy even more! 

Visit with Ella and Reese

We've been so busy with the new house that we haven't kept up with the kids' blog very well.  In October, Ella & Reese came to visit for the weekend.  Here are some pics of the kids.  It's so fun to see how much they love each other even though they don't get to see each other very often.

Swim Lessons 2012

We have the kids in swim lessons again this summer.  They are having such a blast, but especially Evan.  He really has come out of his shell this summer and is gaining confidence in the water.  They both can swim independently with a pool noodle.  And both are great a jumping into the water! 

Hike!

We took the kids on a "hike" which was really walking on a flat cement trail. It was a blast! Evan loved being able to run ahead and collect leaves. Along the trail is a park so Ken called it the "Secret Park." They both loved playing at the park and then we headed back home after that.

2012 So Far

We're a bit behind with pictures in 2012. We have spent most of our time trying to slow life down and not be as busy. So we haven't done much to take pictures of, but here are a few events. In January, we went to Liam Estrada's birthday. Most recently, we got together with the Morris clan in Rancho Mirage for the day. The best part (besides just talking with Molly) was when Evan called Ella his "best friend" and Ella called Evan her "best buddy." So wonderful!!!

Our Cuties

You'll see Katelyn in her first ponytail. She's just adorable. I wish we had filmed her reaction, though when I first put her hair up. She was standing, staring at the mirror, and she did not like the way her hair looked. She had a complete look of disgust on her face. It was priceless. Now that she's had a ponytail for 3 straight days, her hair doesn't stand up straight anymore - it actually looks like a ponytail. So fun to have a girl!

The other picture shows Evan and Katelyn having a great time together. They mean so much to us!!!
