Disney on Ice

I bought tickets to Disney on Ice months in advance. We loved our time at Disneyland when we lived in California, and it is so fun to feel a bit of that same magic. Our girls are at the perfect age. I think Cameron and I spent more time watching the girls (especially Penny) than the show! 

We didn't tell the girls where we were going until we parked. It was a fun surprise! We picked up pizza on the way and made a night of it!

Always a great show! 

Aubrey's 10th Birthday

Aubrey is 10!! Double digits!! We kind of went overboard on the presents. 

Aubrey loves being the center of attention and having things all about her! She was so excited to have the day all about her. 

She made German Pancakes for breakfast. 

And she made her cake all by herself! 

Beautiful 10 year old. Hard to believe she's this old already!

We had the cousins over for dinner and cake!

Lewis is getting so big!

Aubrey and I were able to go out to Panera-one of her favorites-for lunch in between soccer games. Fun to have some one on one time. 

Lesley's Birthday

I had a great 34th birthday! Linda Lee was so sweet and watched Paige for the day. Cameron and I biked on the Centennial trail from Spokane Valley to Couer d'Alene. We stopped and ate lunch at The Mango Tree before biking back. It was a bit cold but an otherwise beautiful day. 

Lava cakes and ice cream after dinner!

And presents. We obviously didn't get the best pictures but it was a great day!

School Fun Run

The girls had a cute fun run at school. They ran their hearts out! 

Cameron had the week off and was able to come and watch them too. Penny ran and ran and ran. 

Aubrey taking off! They got to run through silly string, obstacles, and more!

The weather wasn't ideal but they made the best of it! So fun to see them enjoy everything. 

Cameron ran the Colbert Half Marathon and came in 4th overall and 1st in his age group. It is a super hilly course! He won some delicious apple juice!

Fall Randoms

Cameron was able to take the teachers and priests in our ward to tour the OR and see what he does at work. So cool to see them all!

He had a picture of all the meds he uses on one patient. All the boys had a great time. 

Build a Bear does a promotion that you can get a bear in your birthday month for the price of the age you are. So we had to go get Paige's $3 birthday bear! 

We have met a lot of great families with the girls in soccer, but we sure love the Andebergs. All our kids get along so well. They have a daughter on Aubrey's team as well as Ada's team so we see each other all the time!

Paige found my checkbook. 

The Andeberg's have 7 kids so everyone has a friend or two at all times!

More soccer friends

And we discovered that we are related to Ada's coach, Greg Neils. So Marlee and Ada now think they are cousins!

Super cold soccer Saturdays!

Had to get a picture of everyone in the rain!

And of course rainy/snowy soccer days usually mean picture day. 

Penny earned the Sportsmanship bracelet! She was so excited! She has seen her sisters bring one home on multiple occasions. 

Snow is coming in time for soccer!

One of the mom's from Aubrey's team took these great pictures!

And more soccer friends. 

Love when they get along. 

Amazing rainbow!

Chalk and walk with cousins!

And Paige and I went on a fun hike one fall day. 

Garden fun! Our watermelons!

And carrots!

And I was able to do 3 batches of salsa with all our tomatoes!

And our homegrown onions! and peppers!

It turned out great. 

Love when cousins come to play. 

Cleaning the yard!

Ada painted Penny and Paige's faces one day. 

Prayer time was a good time to take some pics. 

Pretty cute!

And I loved their school pictures! Penny in Kindergarten. 

Ada in 3rd Grade

And Aubrey in 4th. They all look so grown up!
