Sunday Night

Monday mornings can occasionally be a bit rough with my little Avery. We are getting into the routine of picking out our outfits the night before. So far this school year it has been working fairly smoothly. That is until last Friday when Paxton through us a curve ball; he announced, after Avery was already dressed in her Friday attire, "We have a Spirit Assembly Today! Gotta wear purple!" That put a small wrinkle in our morning, but we were able to pull through. Below is a picture of tomorrows outfit and we also have the pink rollers in the hair. My fingers are crossed.

Zipping In the Jungle of PV

This is the last post of our trip this past summer to PV. Towards the end of our trip Marty and Paxton along with the Erickson's went zip-lining with Los Veranos canopy tours http://www.canopytours-vallarta.com/ Here are some pictures of their most exciting, crazy fun day while Avery and I held up the fort back at Samba. Below is Paxton and Carter getting ready for their adventure.
There was a small zoo that they were able to explore where they had various animals including squirrel monkeys!

They ate right out of my baby Paxton's hands.

The monkeys were apparently quite playful. They were wise to try to get into the visitors pockets where one acquired a container of toothpics out of Marty's pocket and another monkey got ahold of Carter's camera case. They were some misbehaven monkeys!

Eric and Carter in a race!
Carter looks like he is way ahead, but I believe that Eric was the winner.
And here goes Jenny and Carly...

A little educational class before they went zipping of the "Do's and Don'ts" of zip-lining.

On the way home they stopped at Los Arcos for some pictures. They decided against the bungee jumping at Los Arcos.

First Day of School

The first day of school was today. Avery is in second grade and Paxton is in fourth. We anticipate another great year at Crownhill;

Blackberry Fest 2008

We went to Bremerton's Blackberry Festival which is an annual event. We met the Hughes down there. The kids enjoyed gnawing on some corn and we all enjoyed the music.

Golf

Marty and I went golfing last weekend. It was my second game of golf this summer; my mommy and I went earlier in the summer. Avery came along with us as well and she did a great job keeping track of my points? hits? strokes? score? Needless to say, I didn't do so well. Maybe next time. Avery did some caddy work for me.

Good Times With The Smiths

We spent Saturday hanging out with Todd, Melissa & Sydney Smith. The day started out at the Kitsap County Fair. The weather was nice and warm, the kids went on endless rides and we had some good eats. (Thank you Leslie for the mini doughnut recommendation, they were delicious!) After K. C. Fair we went to The Smith’s house to hang out. The kids played in the pool and on the beach. We went to their Tiki Bar where Todd fried up some very tasty Lumpia and grilled up some dogs for the kids. Late into the evening we walked down Marine Drive to a “kegger.”… Good Times… Don’t ask… Down at the Tiki Bar

Aves and Syd
Avery found a special shell on the beach.

Our bartender Melissa; she only charges 10 Peso's an hour!
We honestly did not plan our outfits.

Syd bailed out the water from the boat so she could take Aves on a little excursion.
