Breast Cancer Walk

We had a good time getting the wagon ready for the breast cancer walk....
We were on team Jain Train..
Good side decorations by Natalie.
Pink everywhere!
At the starting line, a sea of people!  I don't know the final number but 15000 plus registered!
Natalie and Evie in the snack wagon.
Maggie an Aaron ready to lead the team!
A 5k is a long slow walk.  With this many people it took an hour and twenty-five minutes!
Evie and Sasha taking a ride together.  Glad we were able to all go and support team Jain Train!

Cross Country Run!

Natalie has been going to highland running club on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school!  All her hard work has paid off...today she ran in her first ever cross country track meet!  It was 0.5 miles, complete with starter gun and an inflatable finish line arch!  A local running shop helps sponsor the event.  It was madness!!
Hanging with her buddies Brylee (also K, in her class) and Brynn (2nd grade and racing veteran).
A beautiful day outside!  Evie was having fun too!
Part of the kindergarten girls lined up.  Every elementary from the district was able to participate...
Getting going!  Already red because we got to the meet early and she had run for that thirty minutes in excitement!
On the home stretch, still excited!
After crossing the finish line and getting high fives she placed 13th!  We were really proud of her.  Running club hasn't been easy, but she did awesome!!!  She got a ribbon and her picture taken, go highland CC!!


Dress up and Sam's Birthday!

Last Friday the girls went over to the Lindons to have cupcakes for Sams 3rd birthday!
Pigtails up!
The big girls :)
Sunday was a day at home, broke out the Halloween dress up box.
Evie as a silly clown....

Farming and Fishing!

It's been feeling like fall around here!  The Jackson's are in town so we got to share a trip to Erie Orchards!
Evie and Grandpa J feeding the goats....
And then swinging with Grandma J!
Round two of goat feeding!
Lots of cutouts together your picture in!
Scary Frankenat!
Evie loving her pumpkins :)
Time to wander the orchard, we've already eaten dessert but we have plenty of room to sample apples!
Evie catching a ride and eating her apple.
Family pic by the sunflowers...
The girls and grandparents :)
Natalie on the pony....evie would have been there too but she had a freak out trying to get loaded on her pony!
After a full afternoon outside we decided to walk up and try fishing in our front pond.
Nat went first and got baby catfish, Aaron  got the dad, and I pulled in the grandpa!
It was a big catch for the Barbie pole!
Evie enjoyed tossing in bread to the fish with grandma!
A great way to end the weekend, what a fun day outside!

Labor Day and Beyond!!

The girls enjoying time outside while the kids rumble!
Amy- I have not been back to Anderson's for more alcoholic balls so I don't think I'm on a list yet!
It was good weather for the bounce house!
I think even though the pool was up the Daniels kids needed more Floridian weather to dive in!
Natalie modeling her new coat from grandma and grandpa Hiatt.  The cooler weather is coming!
Tuesday Natalie was back in school so Evie, Parker, and Corbin took a trip north.  The hugging bears!
Looking at one of our favorite fairy doors in Ann Arbor!
Wednesday morning was Evie's first day at CDO.  
Aaron had to sneak out...and when they said see you next week she said "Evie no more school!"  We will see how things go tomorrow...
She is most definitely not this messy of an eater, I think she was putting on a show!
Play date at wildwood park with her buddy Sam!
I got to stop by Natalie's school today for lunch.  Her artwork was above her locker.
Natalie likes lunchtime with her friends!  I was a valuable resource, I must have opened 20 items for kindergarteners!!  Makes you think about what you pack :)
To top off the busy day Natalie had dance tonight, the whole family went and evie showed off her moves.
She never slows down!
And the last thing of the night....ice cream social at highland!  Hard to believe how busy we were today!!!!  And it's only Tuesday!
