CJ and Brodie are funny buddies. Brodie loves to stop at the docent stations, this snow owl was so beautiful and calm even with all the crazy kids around her. Amazing what animals can put up with in captivity.

1st Grade Field Trip
What happens when 200 Sycamore 1st Graders take over the Sonoran Desert Museum? Good times and a lot of energy. A very polite and helpful dad Carlos helped me wrangle four boys around the museum. They ran from exhibit to exhibit, knocking each other over at every chance they could like BOYS always do. The weather was a perfect mid 70's, only in Arizona can you count on perfect weather in November. Oh, and little Charley sat in her stroller and endured the bumps and boys in stride. She loved having Big Carlos drive her around in her limo all morning long.

Just another day
It's just a regular day at our house. I've been cleaning out junk drawers today, looking for a missing item with still no luck. Meanwhile, the kids are having fun with a box, who needs toys when you can play with the box. Can you believe Charley is 11 1/2 months old already!
We'll be offline this week while we wait for our new internet service provider... I'll be lost without all of you.

From the sidelines
Have I mentioned that Jake doesn't like to lose? He is so intense
when he is on the field or court. A true competitor. The football game was action packed today. Brodie ran for a touchdown in the opening minutes of the game. Than back and forth on offense and defense. Jake caught a pass for a touchdown just before half time to tie up the game. During the second half Jake had the ball intercepted in front of him, he pulled the kid's flag to the ground. The very next play Jake intercepted the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. He doesn't like to lose and he doesn't like to be scooped. This season we have seen him really turn his frustration of a bad play into action. He plays smart and watches the competition closely to understand their plays, analyze abilities and improve his own skills. Then he comes home and watches the college and pros play and thinks about how he can improve himself. He really is a player. I'm excited to be his sideline cheerleader!

Sew as you go
To distract them both we started a little sewing project. I read the directions to my new, yet old sewing machine and figured out how to keep the thread in the needle and bobbin. Jake's new Scout chairwoman, Nan is a rock star and wants all the boys to look tip top for Cub Scouts each week. So we purchased the troop number and Catalina badge.
The boys watched in awe as I actually sewed something that looked like it was suppose to in the end. They both got so excited that they too wanted to try out the machine, so they made little bean bags. Which later became missals and weapons to inflict pain. It was a fun little project and kept us all entertained for at least a half an hour. The best part was when I folded the sewing machine back into the table, Jake thought that was the coolest thing ever. Here is what Charley does when mom is cooking. Isn't she cute? Another day in our lives.

Kids in costume what's not to love
Halloween has come and gone, the pumpkins are starting to droop.
We had our sugar, Carmel apples, chocolate bars and gum.
But now it's time to clean up the gloop.
We're glad the Best family join us for another year of fun.
Jake is the scary skeleton.
Jett's the cute skeleton.
Caelin is the sassy Pirate Chic.
Brodie's the scary Vampire.
Jace is Darth Vadar.
Charley is our pixie fairy.
And Casey is 8 months pregnant and still cute as ever.
Thanks to all my ghouls and boys for the night of treating and a few tricks.
