Caelyn Halloween Carnival

Caelyn's preschool had a Halloween carnival today. She was so excited because yesterday I bought cookies for it and she wanted them. I told her she had to wait because they were for her Halloween party. So, when she woke up this morning the first thing she said was, "Are my cookies ready for me to eat them at my Halloween party?" She looked pretty dang cute and had a great time in the jumpy house and going from activity to activity. Here are just a few shots.

Sadie Dance Recital

Sadie's magnet group had a little dance recital last night. They were celebrating artists from the civil war era, hence the costumes. She always has the funniest smile.

Payton Shakespeare Festival

Shakespeare Festival

Payton was in a Shakespeare festival this weekend for her drama class at Magnet. She was pretty cute. They competed with high school kids and I think they did a pretty good job. Here is the link to youtube to see her performance. She did the Merry Wives of Windsor. Just make sure you turn off the music so you can hear them. :)

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to Murray Family farms this weekend for them to get their pumpkin. They had a couple of corn mazes, face painting, crafts, wagon rides, etc... It was a lot of fun, at least for the little ones. Payton is so pre-teen. She had a scowl the entire time. Here are a few pictures of the kids.

Soccer Weekend

Here are a few shots of the kids this weekend during soccer games. The girls lost 1-0 during a hard fought match. Poor Sadie cries after every game, she gets so upset. Zeke had a great game. He scored 5 goals and was all over the place. He tries so hard for his daddy. Zeke has only one game left next weekend and the girls have one more for the season in two weeks. Boy, it goes by fast!!

Halloween Party for Thorner

Every year there is a Halloween Party at the school and we try to make it. They have food, music, balloon animals, a costume party etc.... The kids like to see eachother dressed up. Here is a preview of our costumes this year.

Vegas

Anyone who knows the Armijo family, knows they are huge gamblers. They love Vegas so when it was time to celebrate Grandpa Ted's 80th birthday, what other place to go than Vegas. Are large part of the family made it and we had a fun dinner and cake together. We spent some time watching Teddy's grandparents gamble. His grandma puts money in the slots so fast that she breaks a sweat. It is hilarious to watch. We had fun and got to go visit Spencer and his little crew. They are all so cute. I wish I had some pictures of that. Needless to say, it was a fun getaway and we didn't do too bad, but it is hard to loose a lot when you play a nickel or quarter at a time!!

Updates!

Hey Everyone, I am a loser again and forgot the camera for soccer weekend but all are doing well. Both teams won this weekend. Zeke's team won 8-0 and he scored three goals. The girls won 4-1 and Payton scored 2. It was a really good game. The other team was fast! Just wanted to promote a show that will be on tommorrow night that was sponsored by the donate life community. The show "Three Rivers" is on Sundays on CBS at 9pm. They are really trying to promote it because the story lines are taken from actual events that have taken place with our donating families and recepients. If you have time check it out and let me know what you think! We hope it makes it so that it educates more people as to the process of organ donation and what a difference one can make being an organ donor. I am really excited to see how they portray my job and I will let you know just how real it is :).
