Carving Pumpkins!!

Okay, so somehow this year Mom lucked out, and Dad got to be the one to man the pumpkin carving festivities (He's cleaning up as we speak) This was the first year that Makayla and Olivia carved their pumpkins completely by themselves! They were pretty proud! Even though it gets pretty messy, I love how excited the girls are every year...even when Mommy is really pooped at the end of a long sunday!

Congradulations Makayla!!

This Week Makayla made her schools "Tournament Volleyball Team." At the end of the season, the coaches chose 13 out of the 25 players to be on a team to play in the city tournament in November. Makayla (center) and her friend Stephanie (left) both got on the team and they were so excited! Their best friend Maisie was there this week to cheer them on, and to help celebrate!! Papa was even able to see her play this game, and was pretty impressed!!Makayla may be little, but she packs a mighty bump! :o)

GO PV VIKINGS!!!

We all went to Chico this weekend to watch Spencer and Shaun play in the Almond Bowl. Little did we know what a major city event this would be...after all, it's only high school football right? WRONG!! The game was held at the Chico State Stadium, and was totally packed out! The night was complete with, school colors (blue & white), pom poms for all the fans (about10,000), sparkly beads in blue and silver, cheerleaders, pizza, snacks, stadium blankets, horse voices, body painted fans, half time shows, and more fun than we've had on a friday night in a long time. As you can see the girls had so much fun with their cousins! It was a great night for the history books...and oh....Vikings won 12 to13 !!!!

Panther Pride!!

Makayla had her 2nd volleyball game yesturday, and I absolutely love watching her play. She's one of the smaller players on her team, but she sure does hold her own. It's a blast to watch her out there! This picture was after the game with one of her best friends Stephanie.

A Visit from Cousins

We were able to spend a weekend celebrating Papa Rons 70th birthday together, complete with barbecues, swimming, tailgate Parties and a 49ers game. Although it was a short weekend, we crammed alot in and had a great time visiting our family!

Movie Night at School

Well, for our first movie night of the year, we went to see "Freaky Friday" on the big screen at school. The girls and their friends all went in pajamas and sweatshirts, complete with blankets and sleeping bags. They had a blast even though it was near freezing temperatures....well maybe not that cold!

Olivia and Papa Hit Pacbell Park

Olivia had a great time with Papa going to the Giants Game. Even though the games was horrible, and they played awful, Olivias hightlight was her Build A Bear. Thats the nice thing about taking a girl to a baseball game; no matter how bad the teams are, you can always shop!
