Nights like these.....

make me so grateful I have a big, crazy family (and that I live close to my brother and his big, crazy family).

And yes, those are underwear over Asher's shorts...in case you were wondering.

Halloween 2011

Eden: Scream Ghost
Asher: Ninja (Could he be anything else?)
Joseyah: Cinderella (Of Course)
Abigail: No Costume; She just wore her cute fall t-shirt made by Mrs. Yolanda at the daycare.
The extra masked man is Eden's buddy Tristan. He joined us again this year for Trick-or-Treating.

Eden's 4th Grade Award

Eden earned 2 reading awards in October. God answered some pretty fervent prayers and I was able to attend the ceremony. It was great to surprise him and be able to see him receive his certificate and medal. Afterwards, we went on a coffee date and played cards. I am one proud mama.

Wearing My Clothes

My mom managed to save about a dozen of my old dresses from when I was a baby. I try to put Abby in them whenever I can (Josey wore them too).

Eden's First Trip To Camp

So Eden and his buddies spent a weekend at Astrocamp. This was his first camp experience without a parent. He had a BLAST!! He spent the weekend doing all sorts of science-related activities. Oh, and because he's such a boy, he didn't change his clothes once in 3 days. Eeww! I sure did waste my time packing his suitcase.

Asher Plays Soccer...Again

This was his 3rd season. He scored a goal during this season, and played goalie. He's getting to be a pretty good soccer player.

Buddies

They have played wonderfully together since they were about 18 months. They have quite a bond.
