Fishing

We took Boppo to base and tried our luck at fishing. The only thing we caught was a lot of weeds but we all had fun.

Boppo

Boppo came to visit and we took him to the beach. It was a gorgeous day to play in the water. All that ocean air tuckered Kaiya out.

Chloe's B-day

Chloe had a wonderful fourth birthday. Thank you all for thinking of her, she loved all her gifts.

How quickly they grow

I can't believe how big Kaiya is getting. She's all cheeks and crazy hair. She's really starting to smile, we'll try and get a picture soon to post.

Carmel Mission

Aquarium

We took Gramma V to the aquarium. Kaiya slept through the whole thing. The kids had fun looking at all the sharks and fish.

Home Depot

Home Depot has a wonderful program for the kids. The first Saturday of every month they have a project that the kids can build for free. This month was a pirate ship, Gramma V helped John and I helped Chloe. We had just come from their soccer game, that's why the kids are wearing matching outfits!

Checkers

John and Gramma V played some checkers while Kaiya laid back and took it all in. I'm not sure who won the game because John kept changing the rules and moving Gramma V's pieces.

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween. John wanted to be a "good guy robot" or otherwise known as a clone trooper for all you Star Wars buffs. Chloe was a monkey and Kaiya was a Pumpkin.

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Aunt Krista, Jay, and the kids played a mean game of hungry hungry hippos. John won with capturing 10 marbles in one game. Jay's hippo turned out to have acid relux and kept spitting his marbles out.

Carving pumpkins

We had a great time carving pumpkins. John did not like the pumpkin guts so he planted pumpkin seeds in our yard instead. We made a John, Chloe, and Kaiya pumpkin!

Visitors

We have been lucky to have so many great visitors, Grandma V gets to visit for three weeks and Aunt Krista flew down for the weekend. The kids have been having a blast seeing everyone.

Chloe's last day at Carla's

Chloe celebrated her fourth B-day on her last day at Carla's (her daycare/pre-school). She started a new pre-school on Oct 29th, which she loves. She's going to miss her best friend, Grace, though.

Ballet socks

Couldn't resist taking a picture of Kaiya in her ballet socks.
