October 2013

 

October was a beautiful month with all of the fall colors.  We spent much of our time outside at soccer practices and games so luckily for us the month was so nice.

 

Caedan turned 6 on October 1st and we celebrated in style with a University of Washington themed party.  Get your dubs up!

 Legos and machinery!  A match made in heaven for Caedan.

 

 

Soccer season was in full swing.

 

 Olivia's team kept us busy with games all month long.

 

 

Because Olivia was not busy enough with her soccer team and softball team she also ran on her school's cross country team.

 She placed 6th in her school's home race!

  This is the Tye River running in front of the beach access at our new ski cabin.  In October we closed on a very small ski cabin which we purchased with Robert's youngest bother and his wife.  By very small I mean 640 square feet for the six of us.  But we are only 15 minutes from skiing so we are very excited about that.

 

This is what was left on our porch one evening.

 This is what our pumpkins looked like.  Notice that they have no teeth and the chew marks around the eyes.  We think that they were attacked by squirrels but without video evidence we are left to speculate. 

 



Our cowboy and Merida enjoyed Halloween and all of the loot that they brought home.

 

Caedan's quote of the month "That is just the way the world works.  Sometimes you have to walk backwards."

Now that we have a cabin in the mountains we have started our snow dances.
