Space Needle!!!

We are in Seattle visiting my family and took the kids to the Space Needle. It was a lot of fun. Jaden loved the ride up and how the cars looked like matchbox cars. After the Space Needle Guy and I took the kids to the Science Center and played there for a couple of hours. The kids just had a great time. It was a little chilly, but definitely worth it! Here are a few pictures of the kids at the Space Needle and the Science Center.
Here is a picture of the kids at the top of the Space Needle:

And looking up at the Space Needle:

Here is a picture of the kids "digging for dinosaur bones":

This is a picture of the kids in the butterfly exhibit. It was a lot of fun watching the butterflies flying all around. Austin had one land on his bum - he thought that was pretty funny! He also thinks he was a 'butterfly magnet'.

Austin - even after a careful inspection by the exhibit worker - had a stow away on his leg. We found it after we had left the butterflies and were out playing. Luckily, Austin was able to walk careful enough that we were able to get it back in.

Halloween Party page and blah, blah, blah!!!!

Here is a scrapbook page I did of the kids from the Halloween party Lexi had for the kids. It was a lot of fun!!!! She had a bunch of games for the kids with prizes for them. They all got a new halloween shirt from her as well. I still have more pictures from their little party to make at least one more page of, and I still have yet to do a page of them all dressed up on Halloween!!! I'll get there someday!


(Notice Kaylee's eyes! She kept trying to look up at the visor on her head - it was so funny! The picture just doesn't do it justice!)

We are planning on going back home to Kirkland for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited, it's been almost a year since we've been back. The kids can't wait to see Grandma and Papa (as Kaylee refers to Grandpa - she has the boys calling him that half the time as well!). Kaylee keeps going through her toys and telling me "Papa would like to see this..." She is just so matter-of-fact! Over the Thanksgiving break, I'm going to have quite a bit of homework to do. I have a big project due right afterwards as well as two tests! I just hope I can make myself do them while there. That's the tough part.

We are going to try and get everything ready to decorate for Christmas before we leave, so we can enjoy it when we get back! I'm excited to get all the Christmas stuff out, just not looking forward to the mess it makes.

Well, tomorrow is my crazy day at school. 9:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night with just a short break to pick up kids and get them fed before hurrying off to my night class - which is so boring and pointless most of the time!!!

Snow!!!!

I made a couple pages of our way too early snow day this past September. I had so much fun with these ones. I made them using a couple of snow templates that I made. Templates are so fun to make and so easy to use. I've actually started up a blog to give some of my template freebies away! I've had 84 people download one and 63 another! It's crazy! I'm going to be giving away these snow templates sometime next week.... just in case you're interested! Go check out my blog here. Anyway, here are the scrapbook pages of my kids playing in the snow... and building their first snowman of the year (he was kinda small!!).
