Halloween

Madison the ballerina, Ellie is Repunzel, Zander the fighter pilot, Connor the swat cop

little swat cop has the battle scars to go with his costume

Madison has become obsessed with ballerina's. Every time we see a picture of one she says "look mommy. I love it."

love this picture...that smile on her face

Ellie said she wanted to be a zombie the whole year but when it came time to get a costume she finally changed it to Rapunzel. 

the whole gang from left to right...Zander, Syndey, Jackson, Lucas, Rachel, Connor, Ellie, Madison...our neighborhood. kids. 

Maggie. She had been sick and it was cold so she is staying warm. :)

off we go

Connor was the sweetest big brother. Madison's bag was too heavy for her and she was cold and her feet hurt so Connor volunteered (on his own) to carry her bag for her. He took it up to each house and asked everyone for candy for his sister also. He can be a sweety! :)

Daddy/Daughter date

Tim took Madison on a date and she could not have been more excited!! He took her to work with him then went to lunch, and finally the Kids Discovery. The whole time she told me about it she was jumping up and down with the biggest smile I have ever seen. She is a daddy's girl and was so excited to spend the day with daddy!

Playground fun

Our first day back to California we took it easy and took the kids to the park.
