Route 66 Half Marathon

I went to Tulsa for the Annual Route 66 Half Marathon that I do.  I managed to convince my mom and Philip to do it with me this year.  We all completed it and did decently.  The weather was FANTASTIC! Mom and I volunteered for the EXPO to hand out shirts and had a lot of fun.  

The boys went with me while the big kids stayed home with dad. Boys enjoyed playing with the animals at my mom's house especially Big E.  

We managed to make it out to see my dad and my uncle was there and it was great to see him and my aunt. This was also just before my dad went back into the hospital (he got home Thursday)...  Hopefully he won't have a long stay in the hospital this round.   

Big E hated the drive home.  During a break I thought he could drive...

4th Birthday Fun!

We had a party for GMan on Saturday.  Several friends came over and we all had fun.  A bossed everyone around and ran the show pretty much.  We made trains because GMan said that he wanted a "train race" so we had everyone paint trains and we were going to race them.  However everyone just played outside and we never got around to actually racing the trains. 

I made fondant and learnt that it was ridiculously easy to make.  We made Diesel 10s (his party theme) and other fun things. 

Halloween Fun!

A few pictures from Halloween and all the fun it entailed.  We did a church festival the Saturday before and then did the Garden for Ghouls in the Garden the Sunday before Halloween.  We had a Halloween costume contest at work and my counter part and I did Thing 1 & Thing 2. Everyone constantly confuses us (and half the people don't see it) so it worked out well. 

Zoo in the Fall

Got to make a trip to the zoo today. We did well for the kids and fun was had by all. Though we probably won't wear the cowboy hat again.

Picture Recap for Couple of Weeks

I suppose this is where the phrase "double trouble" comes in. 

Finally learned to can stuff.  I did butternut squash.  Super yummy! Boys ate one of these (the one that didn't pop) for lunch the next day.  Ate the ENTIRE thing in one go.  Nope not going to need a saving account to pay for that when they get older. 

Big E doing his daily yoga poses.  His downward dog is quite good. 

Reading with Big Sis. 

E likes to sit once he gets somewhere. 

M would rather move around and stays on his stomach.

Botanical Gardens

Japanese Garden today. We had a long day and explored new areas in the garden.

Yellow Belt

For those unaware we have signed A up for TaeKwonDo.  She loves it and gets to see one of her better friends from Kindergarten.  He's a blast to have around the house too.  Last Saturday we had our first testing for A.  She managed to hammer chop/hit the board and break it.  She also did pass her test and get a yellow belt.  She's the one in the video that is the last to break the board for her row.
