~Matter Park~

Nanae and Alijah came for a visit and we loved spending time with them.  We went to an orchestra concert one morning and then went to a park we had never been to before in Marion called Matter Park!  It was beautiful and a lot of fun!  We will be headed back soon!

Sweet Aylah!

Grace, Aylah, Alijah and Caleb love the little pond.

Sweet love!

Alijah and Nanae!  We sure do love you both!

Gracie's determined personality pushed her to the top!

~Airplane~

My mom and Alijah came to visit us and we had such a wonderful time together!  Every minute is so special.  After they flew back to Midland, Aylah decided it was time to create her own plane so she could head south!

Aylah even cut out little windows for the passengers to see out.

Taking flight!

Caleb is trying to board.  I wish I would have taken a picture of all her animals on board.

~International and History Night~

Our homeschool group had their annual International and History Night.  Aylah and her bff Sequoia chose to do a board on Peru, since that is where their daddies went for a mission trip last November.

Sequoia and Aylah are coloring the flag of Peru for their international board.

The girls did a great job and worked very hard!

Sequoia's sister Brooklyn did a very interesting board on the Underground Railroad.

We served Inca Cola from and made a very yummy dessert called Suspiro Limeno to pass out to everyone who wanted a little taste of Peru.

Yummy!

~The Pumpkin Family~

We are so thankful for the creative mind that the Lord has given Aylah.  She is always thinking, always creating and always bringing joy to my life!

~Matter Park~

My mom and I stumbled upon Matter Park in Marion the last time she was here.  Since this was the last day in the 70's this year, we went back today since it was so much fun.  I actually did not take pictures of the kids at the park, but I took some of them playing in the leaves before we left.  

Caleb is never happy when daddy makes him do something, like take a picture.

Although Caleb was really mad he had to take a picture with daddy, he still loves him very much!

Love, love, love my son!

Aylah thought this was so awesome!

~The Last of the 70's~

This is the last day that we will probably see the temperatures in the 70's, so we took the day off and headed to some parks.  We love being outside and today was no different!

The Water Park, which actually has no water.  The kids love climbing on the spider web.  Well, the girls do.  Caleb just wants to swing!

Aylah loves taking care of her siblings.  She poses with Caleb as he says "CHEESE"!

~Tom and Jerry~

Carving pumpkins is absolutely a staple every year in our household.  Daddy and Aylah love coming up with ideas for the pumpkins every year and this year they chose Tom and Jerry!  

Aylah loves the gooey part!

Such sweet girls!

Caleb is trying to say pumpkin.  He was not interested in the pumpkins at all.  He stayed long enough for me to take a picture and then was off again running around the house.

A little blurry, but I would like to introduce to you...Tom and Jerry!
