ELI IS A SOCCER BEAST!

Eli played two years of club soccer on the top team - we didn't video tape it and only took a couple of crappy pictures with our phones - I have always regretted that. It's so hard to video tape during a game - I seem to only get the crap stuff and always miss the good stuff so I just quit bringing the camera...now he doesn't play club and he is on a rec team with a club coach and a mom on the team is a professional photographer and captured some pretty bad ass shots of him - love this kid!

INTEL WORK PARTY!

Intel rented out the Diamondbacks stadium and had a party there and they also set the world record for the most people turning their shirts inside out at the same time - kind of a lame record but they kids can look it up in the Guinness book of world records some day and see themselves!

VETERANS DAY WORKOUT!

Another Veterans Day workout at the Chandler Fire Training Facility. Sadly, this year I was not first - Jared beat me - damn it! Next year I will reclaim my title!

HALLOWEEN 2015!

We did a lot of trick-or-treating this year! We got to trick-or-treat at Disneyland, Intel, Ward Trunk-or-Treat and then regular trick-or-treating on Halloween.

SATURDAY (before Halloween): Emma's friends through a Halloween party - Emma has such good, fun friends this year - we love it!


TUESDAY: Alyza was staying with us while her parents were in Hawaii so we got to dress her up and take her to Intel with us - she had a great time and the boys loved taking her with them!






THURSDAY: While the kids were at school, Alyza and I made pumpkin cookies for dessert that night because we were taking the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and carve them for the first time (Eli and Emma carved many year ago, but since the twins have been born we have been doing the pumpkins where you stick the potato head pieces in them since it was much easier). The kids had fun finding the perfect pumpkin and they even did an amazing job carving them for themselves - they pretty much did it all on their own with a little help from dad - except Tyson - he worked long and hard on his all by himself! They made me laugh because pulling the insides of the pumpkins out totally grossed them out so while they ate their dinner and dessert, I did the dirty work - I totally remember hating it too when I was a kid!

FRIDAY: Haley Elementary had their annual Apex Fun Run and so after Jared and I did two bootcamp classes, we headed straight over to help with the fun run, then we ran and got some lunch, showered and headed back to school to help in the classrooms with parties (we are so sorry Tyler, we were so busy helping in your class that I left to snap pictures of your brothers so they didn't feel left out and I completely spaced your pictures - my bad buddy!) Tyler ran 45 laps, Tyson ran 55 laps and when we told Eli how many Tyson got he got big eyes and worked so hard to make sure he beat his baby brothers! Every lap he would ask us how many he had - yes buddy 63 laps - you beat them! 

SATURDAY NIGHT: Halloween night we got together with the Parry's for our traditional Halloween trick-or-treating and this year instead of having soups we switched it up to a nacho bar. It was a great time, tons of candy and the kids had a blast! (we even got chased down the street by psycho clowns carrying fake chain saws - the kids loved getting fake scared and running for their lives - they knew it was fake but I am pretty sure there was still some real terror behind those big eyes!) Where's Waldo and 3 Ninjas!
