Allen Got An Award

We are so proud of our Allen. This month he got an award and was recognized by his school for being responsible and kind. We have always known he is amazing and awesome but it's cool that others see it too. Way to go Allen.

All the children that were recognized.
This was a really great day for Allen. Kevin, Evan and I got to come and we even got to eat cookies with the principal too.

Fun with the Kids

I love being a mother of 3 boys. They are always on the move and full of silliness. What more could a mother ask for. It's great.
The silliness on the menu today was jumping all over Grandma Tulett. I have never seen kids that love both there sets of Grandparent as these boys do. Evan is always getting into all the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. But what he does with what he finds is always so cute and funny. Like oven mitts for hands.
Carter love to hide his face all the time and then pop out with a silly face. It never fails to make me laugh.
The silliness in Allen never stops. Every time you turn around he is doing something different.

Then there is just the super cuteness of a sleeping baby on a Huskies pillow pet. This is the most coveted pet in the house.


And recently Evan has started to walk. He is so proud of himself and we are too.

Carter's Field Trip

Carter had his first field trip! He was so excited. He got to ride the bus and bring home a pumpkin. He was on cloud 9 all day long.
Here he is in his seat on the bus.Smiling though the window.The pumpkin patch had all sorts of cool things including some teepees.
We got to go on a cool hay ride though the apple orchards.
Yes, this pumpkin patch even had a Carter in an outhouse.
A bumblebee Carter.Poor Evan had to come with us too. I say poor Evan because it was during his nap.Carter and his pumpkin.
They also had some sheep and a pig. This was Carter's favorite part.
Then at the end of everything we sat down and ate some snacks. This is Marnie and Carter getting things ready.

They tried to get all the preschoolers to line up for a picture and this is all they got. Only 3 kids would do it. But it was a super fun trip and Carter had a great time.

Grandpa Meagher's 60

Grandpa Meagher had his 60th birthday party this last weekend. We got to go and celebrate with all the family over on that side of Washington. We really enjoyed getting to see everyone. And it was the first time a lot of Kevin's side of the family got to meet Evan. Oh and not to mention I got to make the cake. It was so much fun to make this one. And it seemed that everyone got a real kick out of it. Of course, I didn't take any pictures all weekend except of the cake. Sorry, but you get to see the cake.

So, if you can't guess it's a golf cake. The candles say "Oh No The Big 60" There is a sand trap with ball in it, a green, 2 sets of golf clubs, a golf cart and Grandpa Meagher.
There he is the birthday man made out of icing. Complete with Nike swoosh on his hat, shirt and sleeve.
The two golf bags with clubs. Yes, also made out of icing.
The party turned out to be really fun and the cake tasted good so I would say the whole thing was a huge success. And we can't wait till we get to see everyone again.

Allen's Cross Country

Allen did cross country for the first time this year. I was surprised that they start the kids so young but we were happy. Allen really enjoyed it and learned a lot. His first race he did a lot of sprinting and then walking. By the last race he was doing a nice jog all the way though. I think if he chooses to do it again next year he will do really well.

Allen with his team waiting to get on the bus. We took this picture as we were driving by.

Allen is sitting with his team waiting for his age groups turn to race.

I'm not sure why but my boys always seem to do this super cheese smile for pictures. Silly.

During Allen's first race it was raining and so we were all hunkered down under the umbrella.

Allen and his age group lining up to race.Here he comes around the corner. Look at those arms just a going.
This is Allen just after his first race. He was the 33 person to cross the finish line. I'm not to sure what this lady is doing behind him but thank goodness for that rope keeping her out.

Carter is by far Allen's number one fan. It's so cute how much he looks up to him. Way to go Allen.

Too Cool For The Doctors

Evan had a Doctor appointment and wouldn't take his sun glasses off. I got him to take off all his clothes for the nurse to weigh him. But not the glasses. They had to stay on. It was just to cute not to share.

I think the best part of the picture is that he is drinking his bottle like yeah babies can be cool too.

The Great Bike Race

Carter and Allen did a bike race in the park over the weekend. It was so cute to see them so excited on there bikes. The whole experience was pretty cool. They got bags full of stuff like first aid kits, energy drinks, and more. They even helped the kids stretch out before there races.

There they are getting ready for there races. Got there #s and everything.
Carter got to do a cool little trike race. It was cute seeing all the little ones on there trikes. Carter did pretty good but he was not the winner.
Carter just finished and Allen is getting ready for his.
Allen in the line up ready to race. He was so excited because his really good friend Elli showed up too.
Allen was every serious about racing but his friend wasn't and Allen ended up falling hard on the first turn. He was bleeding pretty bad and didn't get to finish the race. He was really upset about that but he was even more upset at his friend that ran into him. But all and all I think the boys had fun and would do it again.
