Rocktober

Mustache day at school.



We were all sick a lot in October.  You know it's bad when the Costco pharmacist knows you by name!



A visit from Papa.




Picnic at the park with Elena.


 Synchronized scooting.



2-yearolds do not like to cooperate with picture taking.


Sweet girl.



Reading time with Ivan.


A Mommy/Daughter jog/bike ride on a beautiful fall morning.




Kellan is the child to the far left, refusing to participate.


Isla, running the show.


Neighborhood Halloween party.  We had a vampire, Queen Elsa and Spiderman.





1st sleepover!  I'm not going to lie, it broke my heart a little.


Pumpkin picking!


Aaron and Brennan.










You can never have too many people in vests!




Pig races.


The pumpkin princess.


A beautiful hike at Red Rock Overlook.














Miss Flora's Halloween wig.


Kellan's class had some special visitors.  He was thrilled!


Official soccer photos.  Brennan is in the U8 Academy this year.  (It was pouring on picture day.)



Isla played with some of her best friends from preschool on a U6 team.



Kellan was U3.  I think the pictures say it all.



Some grocery shopping.



Homework time!


Nice work Patrick!


Celebrating the October birthdays at preschool.  Kellan has come a long way from those first tearful days and now he loves his two mornings a week!  Here we are singing happy birthday and he has just seen Isla.



Yep.  He's feeling pretty confident these days.



Kellan did finally decide to participate in soccer, and he was great!




Kellan is in the blue pants with white stripes.



Isla had an amazing season and so much fun!


Kellan turned 3!!! 



Here he is with Cristina and his annual home-baked challah.



Aaron organized some impromptu races in the basement.




Finley, Lilly, Isla, Kellan, Brennan, Elena & Quincey.


Make a wish!



Snuggling with Grandma.


Bedtime for the birthday boy, and cuddling up with his new kitten from Elena.  Kellan will refer to himself as a kitten and sometimes call me Mommy cat.  Elena knows this and picked this gift out especially for him.  What a sweet friend!

Happy birthday sweet boy, we love you so much!!!


Isla's class took a field trip to a farm to learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin.



A rainy walk to pick up Brennan and Isla.


Birthday gifts in the mail from Grams and Papa!




Halloween parade at preschool.




Isla coloring.  Why use one crayon at a time when you have two good hands?  She still does quite a few things left-handed.


Some neighborhood shenanigans.


There's nothing quite like the excitement of trying to retrieve a ball from the sewer.  Everyone wants to climb down, but once down no one will crawl through to actually grab it.


Bedtime stories.  =)



Brennan received a "Citizen of the Month" award!  Kellan sat with the big boys during the ceremony.


With best bud and fellow good citizen, Ivan.


(It was pj day at school.)


We're so proud of him!


Carving our jack-o-lanterns with a little professional help from Grandma and Grandpa.






Isla ended up being too sick to trick-or-treat so Brennan went with friends and she, Kellan and I held down the fort and passed out candy.  She was disappointed at first, but Brennan shared some candy and our sweet neighbor friends brought she and Kellan some of theirs. By the time we had divied up the spoils everyone was feeling better about the whole thing.  Happy Halloween!
