The Big 4-0!!

Tim and Terra's birthday landed on a Saturday, which was perfect for their big party. We had the party at our new house, even though we weren't moved in and work was still going on...good idea, right?! It all worked out just fine and it was a great party.

How is it that 3 years have gone by?!

Terra loves Elsa, so this cute pillow with her picture on it is so perfect for her.

Trent playing Happy Birthday.

Here they come...

She loved her cowboy boots.

A funny musical card for Tim.  Trent was laughing so hard he was about to pee his pants.

This girl has her own style.

Terra loves getting a mani/pedi. She sits so still (which is unlike her) and loves to show off her nails.

This birthday girl is ready for her party.

A shared theme of Frozen and Turning 40!

First family photo at our new house.

Terra having a blast in the bouncer.

Happy Birthday to Tim and Terra

My favorite picture of the day. She loves her Daddy.

Oh Terra!

In September, Terra started going to preschool five days a week...she needed a little more consistency going to school and how she should behavior at school. She is loving school and her behavior has gotten much better...she still has her days.

 Having fun during science.

 You want me to touch that?!

 OK!

Such a princess!

Cutie in sunglasses

Terra came home from school with her hair like this, so cute. She now insists on a regular basis to put her hair in a ponytail.

Having fun at the Kidspace Fall Festival.

Sometimes it rains and this is how we past the time waiting for Trent to get out of swim practice.

And sometimes the weather is just right and playing in the park is a better way to past the time during swim practice.

No fear!

Jake also prefers the park to running errands or sitting in the car.

CHEESE!

Halloween

Halloween fell on a Saturday this year and Trent was so excited about that. He knew he could stay up late and party, which is what he did. Todd and Ashley had their annual Halloween party, which was a lot of fun. The Halloween festivities started on Friday at Terra's school. They had a costume parade and then we went trick-or-treating to a few local businesses.

 Elsa Terra as she calls herself. Terra loved her dress, she still wears it at least once a week.

 So pretty!

 On our way into preschool.

 Two Elsas...not too sure if Terra likes that.

 Zinnia as a tiger

 Terra walking the loop to show off her costume.

 Scott with the two cuties.

 The Penguin class singing a few songs for the parents.

 Terra loved trick-or-treating...she didn't know what to make of getting candy handed to her.

After a long debate about what Trent was going to be for Halloween he finally decided on a Cowboy Ghost...anything that he could have a gun with. I voted for a whoppie cushion, but he was too cool for that.

 Terra doing her Elsa hands.

Tim came up with the costume idea of being Todd and Ashley...they were totally fine with us dressing up as them. Tim was a really good Todd.

 "Uncle Todd" and Elsa

This was the first time in 11 years that we didn't trick-or-treat on Coolidge Drive. The kids had fun running around the streets of Temple City.
