October Fun

Some of these pics are out of order, 

but I think you get the idea :-)

Lexi's had so much fun this month she passes out on the kitchen floor at night.

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch at Hubers.  Looks like it was a good year for pumpkins because there were a ton of big pumpkins to choose from.

 After a long hunt, Jace and Lexi finally found their perfect pumpkins!

Passed out as soon as we got in the car from a long day of fun at Hubers...

Now onto the gutting, carving and decorating ceremony!  Preparing to do battle...

(it was Lexi and Jace's idea to take off their shirts) ha!

 Ew! Lexi didn't like scooping out the pumpkin guts!

Lexi liked putting faces on the pumpkins instead

 Jace enjoyed carving the face on his pumpkin

The finished spooky pumpkins. Can you tell which ones Lexi designed? Ha!

Starring Miss Lexi...

Could she be the next Shawn Johnson?

 Lexi started her first day of preschool on Thursday. 

 She was excited about her big girl backpack.

August News...

 Jace and Lexi finished up their summer session of gymnastics at SIGS.  They ended their class posing for the olympics.  Jace asked, "Why don't they have boy bodies, mommy?"  I guess next time they need a boy's cutout. After all, SIGS does have several boy's gymnastics teams :-)

We spent our last weekend before school started at Holiday World. We lucked out because it was an overcast day and not scorching hot!  Kids had a blast...

 We went to the Louisville Science Center on Saturday to check out their latest kid's exhibits.  This wall vacuum was pretty cool.

 Lexi was intrigued by the statue sitting on the bench in downtown Louisville.  

She was giving him wet willies :-)

 Jace started his first day of kindergarten today (Aug. 6).  He did great! No tears, just smiles :-)

Jace said he really likes riding on the bus. I can't complain. The bus stops right in front of our house. What service!

 This is a pic of Jace in his new classroom at his open house

 waiting for the bus to arrive!

Summer Fun

This summer has been packed with activities for Jace and Lexi.  The first two weeks were spend doing swim lessons with Ms. Debbie.  Thanks to her, Jace and Lexi are swimming without any floaties or life jackets in the deep end now!  Yay!

 We went to visit Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Tom for the 4th of July and spent some time in Michigan with Grandma Patti and several aunts, uncles, cousins. etc.  Here's a few pics of Jace and Lexi at the new splash park in Wolf Lake. Lots of fun!

 Jace and his cousins completed a kid's triathalon at the Jeff Aquatic Center this past weekend.  They all did awesome!  We're pretty proud of Jace for completing his first tri ever!  

 Jace and Jacob waiting for their swimming wave to start (they had to swim 75 feet across the pool)

 transitioning to bike ride (it was a 1 mile ride)

 Last leg of the race. Running 1/4 mile!

 He ran the whole way!  

 All the hard work paid off.  Everyone earned their medals!

 Lexi cheered everyone on with her chewy :-)
