Owen (5), Griffin & Bennett (3) Celebrate!

We headed over to Owen, Griffin and Bennett's house to celebrate their birthdays with a racecar themed party. The girls could hardly wait to get there!!

The boys were excited too - here they are burning off some of this excitement!

Owen and Griffin pose on the stairs - or slide down them!?

Present time, YEAH!!

Signe was in charge of collecting the bows.

We gave Owen a policeman outfit that he didn't take off the rest of the party!


Griffin stops for a snack.

Bennett plays with his new top.

Sophi smiles for the camera and then sneeks away...

...to play the piano.

Signe wasn't so lucky - she was arrested and cuffed by Officer Owen!

Cake Time!!!
Griffin

Bennett

and Owen

make wishes!

and then they dig in.

Sophi enjoys her frosting first!

Signe loved that the frosting turned her lips blue!

By the look on Owen's face, I think that the party is over.

We had a great time and can't wait to spend time together again soon.
Happy Birthday Boys!!

Rink Rats Again!

After taking August and most of September off, the girls have started Fall Skating Lessons.

Signe skates first - as you can see she is ready to burn off some energy!

It took only about 2 minutes to get her "skating legs" back and then she was all over the rink.

Sophi was up next - She was excited that one of her friends (Ava) is in her class this session (this summer she ended up in one-on-one lessons).

In no time at all she was going forwards, backwards and doing some small spins!

We LOVE skating!!

Signe Heads To Preschool


Signe wakes up happy and ready to start her final year at House of Prayer Preschool.

After many gummy worms, I got her to wear something that matches... I will only try this again on picture day... it is not worth the sweat and tears that I went through!

She shows off her horse back pack.

She hops in the car.

She looks so nice and sweet in this picture - which is how she acts at school for her teachers.

Miss independent on her way in...

We met up with her good friend Audrey.

...and one of our daycare moms, Jill (Audrey's mom).

Some more of our daycare friends, McKenna and Kellen, are going to school with Wiggs this year.

She says goodbye to Mom and Dad.

Hangs up her bag and she's off . . . she had a great day!!

Kate Turns 3!

Our Cousin Kate turned 3 on the 6th and we went to her house to celebrate the following weekend.

There was a bouncer set up in the backyard ...

This is where the girls (and other kids) spent most of their time.

Signe catches some air.
Sophi pretends she is caged up.
The birthday girl jumps.

Sophi and Signe model their birthday hats.
Signe tries to start a new trend with hers.

Time to sing.

Kate makes a wish!

Kate's little brother Ian joins in the fun.

Signe decides she can get the cake and ice cream in better if her hat is on her head.

Kate got some fun masks for a gift - Signe models one of them for us.

Grandpa and Sophi having some fun.

Kate loved the harmonica she got from Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Jon.

Signe shows what Grandpa would look like as a princess.
What a fun party! Happy 3rd Birthday Kate!
