The Discovery Center

A Girl's Day

Natalia and her friend's Addiley and Kindly came to play. The love to look beautiful and dress up, they even adorned their own hair with anything they could find ( it helps them dance more gracefully!)

Halloween 2010

Natalia as Tinkerbell

Andrew as Superman

The ward Trunk or Treat. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. A long sleeve shirt was enough to stay warm.

The best costume of the night! Andrew's primary teacher was about 8 mos. pregnant- and used that to her creative advantage!

The missionaries were there too- giving out candy and pass a long cards.

Carving Pumpkins

Happy 6th Birthday Andrew!!!

Raja and I decorated the house the night before his birthday, so when Andrew woke up, he knew it was his special day!

Andrew's reading his card from grandma and grandpa- Thank you, he loved your gift!!!

Opening his gifts from us.

The Brithday Party

One of the games Andrew wanted to play as his friends were arriving

The fun part of having a birthday so close to Halloween, is that we get to have a costume party!

The Longest Apple Peel, In the World!!!

This year, I decided to can apple pie filling- for the first time. I borrowed my friend's peeler/corer/slicer to make the job go faster, but the best part was the looonnngg, continuous apple peel that it created. Andrew and Natalia thought it was the coolest! Once they found out about the peels, none of them could be thrown away in the scrapes pile- they all had to be eaten!

Natalia's first day of school!

Natalia has started a rotating preschool. She has been so excited. It makes her feel so special that, now, she can go to school like her brother.

Well, look what the cat dragged in!

A mouse! A real, dead mouse! Yes, I panicked, yes, most likely a scream was a part of my initial reaction, and yes, it was disgusting!!!!
