A Year of Pictures part 3

After a fun filled summer school and soccer started again in September along with another busy fall season. Nick is in the 5th grade now and Allie is in 1st Grade. This was Allie's first year playing soccer and she loved it.

October was a very busy month but for some reason I did not have time to take as many pictures. I think we went to a total of 3 pumpkin patches this year. Before they are through with school I think I will be to almost every pumpkin patch there is. They dressed up like Ninja Turtles this year and came home with both of there buckets filled to the top. In fact if I go in their room they probably still have some candy stashed somewhere.

In November we started preparing for Christmas and Celebrated Thanksgiving. If felt like a really calm month that time of year is hard for that to happen.

In December we celebrated Nick's 10th birthday. It is hard to believe he is 10 all ready. It was probably one of his worse ones nothing seemed to go right and his presents didn't even arrive on time. I still owe him a birthday party with his friends I think I may do a half birthday in June so we can celebrate at a park. He was happy with everything though. We also celebrated Christmas it was a lot calmer this year and not as many presents but it made it nice and a lot less hectic. I could post a lot more about Christmas I do have lots a picture but I think I am going to just finish this up. So I can start 2014. I can't wait to get the kids outside today and take more pictures in the snow.

A Year of Pictures 2013

JANUARY Since I didn't update the blog for a whole year. I have decided to do a little update of 2013. I am sure I am going to miss many important events that happened this last year but I will try my best to remember. January started out as being a slow month. Nick and Allie enjoyed New Years Eve as always and both stayed up until midnight. Nick did not play basketball this year which was a nice needed break. Instead he had surgery which took him a lot longer than we thought to recover from. Allie had her first spirit week at school and Grandma even got to go to school for a day with her.

FEBRUARY Allie turned 6 years old and had the best birthday party a 6 year old could have. She had Cinderella come to her birthday party and even got to talk to the Fairy Godmother on the phone. We also celebrated Valentines Day.

MARCH March was a sunny month and we were finally able to get outside again and enjoy the sun. Easter was early this year so we started preparing for Easter.

APRIL Nick started track and so we spent every Saturday at track meets. Landon was baptized and I got to be his Godmother.
