Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to everyone! Here are the kids Christmas pictures. We hope you all have a super holiday and know that we love you!
Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve out at Grandma & Grandpa Bastians in Vernal, and Christmas Morning at Grandma & Grandpa Peay's. The kids scored big time :) They had a great time getting to see alot of family which they don't get to see very often. It was a very Merry Christmas!

NOVEMBER

Well, we're off into a new month now :) I'm going to be starting work for UPS on the 27th of November doing "Pre-loading". It's going to be a bit of a bear to get used to the hours (3:30am-8am) but once we get in a good routine, it'll be great! The kids are just plugging along. Sierra is really enjoying preschool on Tues and Thurs. They've been doing alot of painting this month-fun stuff! The other day she came home from pre-school and announced "I kept my hands to myself today" very proud of herself, that's great work :) She's full of cute little sayings and loves to help. She always wants to be in the action when you're making something, or cleaning up-she helped unload the dishwasher the other day, and it was so....helpful. She stacked all the similar dishes together etc... I'm excited about future opportunities of her being a helper :) Blake is expanding his vocab everyday, he repeats back almost everything you say. Some of his latest words are: "yeah" for yes, "hold" he has to hold everything himself-so independant, "salsa" he loves tomatos and all by-products, "color" he loves to doodle and draw, and oh how he loves to sing the ABC's. He just gets a huge grin on his face when you start singing it. We're enjoying the amazing fall colors! Hope you are too!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hope you all had a spooktacular pumpkin day! Sierra was a Little Indian and Blake was a Pumpkin. They had tons of fun going Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood. They had already aquired way too much candy from going to other little Halloween parties and from their teachers and friends, but just the experience alone of going around was lots of fun for them! It was actually their first time going Trick-or-Treating. In Washington, we didn't take them out in Gig Harbor because the streets were very wooded and poorly lit. So, this was lots of fun! We hope you had a great October, we're excited for the Holidays ahead!
